Footnotes & Disclaimers
1* Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Select 12th generation and newer Intel Core processors that do not have performance hybrid architecture P-cores and have the same cache size as prior generation; see ark.intel.com for SKU details.
2* Built into the hardware, Intel® Thread director is provided only in performance hybrid architecture configurations of 12th Gen or newer Intel® Core™ processors; OS enablement is required. Available features and functionality vary by OS.
3* Unlocked features are present with select chipsets and processor combinations. Altering clock frequency or voltage may void any product warranties and reduce the stability, security, performance, and life of the processor and other components. Check with system and component manufacturers for details.
4* Maximum memory speeds are associated with 1 DIMM per Channel (1DPC) configuration. Additional DIMM loading on any channel may impact maximum memory speed. Up to DDR5-5600 MT/s 1DPC UDIMM 1Rx8, 1Rx16 and DDR5-5200 1Rx8, 1Rx16, 2Rx8 on select SKUs. Maximum memory capacity is achievable with 2DPC configurations.
5* Subject to network availability, operating system support, and router compatibility. Visit www.intel.com/performance-wireless for more details.
6* Minimum solution requirements, mandatory certification, and a 40 Gbps connection provide the fastest connection compared to other PC client bidirectional I/O connection technologies like eSATA and USB. Must be connected via Thunderbolt™ 3 or newer accessory to enable full performance. See www.Intel.com/PerformanceIndex (connectivity) for details. Results may vary.
No product or component can be absolutely secure. Your costs and results may vary.
Intel technologies may require enabled hardware, software or services, some of which may not be available on all systems. Please check with the manufacturer for full system specifications.
