What is an Intel Desktop Processor or CPU?
Serving as the brain of any PC, the Central Processing Unit, or the CPU, is one of the most important components to consider when buying or building a new desktop PC. Intel has a very wide range of CPUs for desktops and workstations for every budget.
The Intel CPU Range Explained
The latest 12th generation Intel Core processors are based on the Alder Lake architecture. This has a hybrid design with a mixture of high performance P-cores and efficient E-cores, providing outstanding performance in both games, content creation applications and when multitasking.
ALDER LAKE ARCHITECTURE
Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families, performance-cores and efficient-cores, into a single CPU, keeping everything in your gaming universe running smoothly.
PCIe 5.0 COMPATIBILITY
Support for PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 for high-performance components like memory and graphics.
ACCELERATED BY AI
Advanced, built-in artificial intelligence (AI) introduces new capabilities and works in tandem with the applications you rely on every day to optimise the speed and flow of tasks, making it easier to get things done.
ADVANCED CONNECTIVITY
Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) delivers nearly 3X faster speeds for exceptional wireless experiences. It’s the biggest innovation in Wi-Fi technology in 20 years. Thunderbolt 4 provides a single, universal port for charging and connecting accessories.
Intel 12th Gen Performance Benchmarks
Cinebench R20
Cinebench renders on all available threads, so generally favours CPUs with lots of cores and threads. This shows the benefits of Intel’s hybrid architecture, as when the P-cores and E-cores are working together in tandem they deliver unbeatable performance.
Conter-Strike: Global Offansive
We also benchmarked the veteran, but still extremely popular online shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, seeing a 9% difference compared to previous gen Intel CPUs.
Power Usage (Watts)
While pretty much all the processors consume a similar amount of power when idle, the peak power when gaming tells a very different story. The new 12th gen CPUs are much more power efficient than 11th gen Intel Core CPUs.
