Dynamic Duet
Meet the heroes and sidekicks of the CPU world.
The 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor teams up types of cores – ‘Performance’ and ‘Efficiency’. P-cores are the heroes. They handle the heavy workloads in the foreground, like gameplay and livestreaming. E-cores are the sidekicks, easing the pressure by ticking off smaller tasks in the background. And Intel® Thread Director is the conductor, switching smoothly and smartly between them, so nothing throws your balance. Or slows your flow.
A Desktop in Disguise
Out of this world gaming, anywhere in it.
Base clock speed of 2.5 GHz. Turbo-ing up to 5.0 GHz. Combined with increased IPC, next-level load times, smoother-than-smooth gameplay and enhanced memory performance, thanks to the newly increased 24 MB capacity, and new-and-improved memory controller that supports DDR5. Whatever machine you put it in, there’s nothing lightweight about how this chip plays.
Multitasking Multiplied
Never miss a move. Even on the move.
Play, stream, record, browse, edit. Sometimes all at the same time. From a car, a café, your garden, or your gran’s house. Hyper-Threading and 20 threads means gaming doesn’t have to stop for your life. And life doesn’t have to slow down for gaming.
The Power of Anywhere
Your home studio. To go. (And go and go.)
Get a new lease of battery life, edit in any environment, and produce without a pause. Whenever. And wherever. 12th Gen matches heavyweight performance with hard-working endurance so creativity doesn’t have to be locked to a desk. Or a desktop.
Make Your Ethernet Jealous
Get gaming-grade wireless with Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E.
Make ping a thing of the past. Minimal packet loss and more dedicated high-speed lanes reduce interference and cut latency by up to 75%.4
One Dock to Rule Them All
Lightning-fast and super-compatible. Meet Thunderbolt™ 4.
One, simple universal port. Compatible with multiple 4K monitors, straight out of the box. Offering bidirectional bandwidth up to 40Gb/s. And with the addition of Thunderbolt™ 4 dock, you can even:
- Increase the number of devices you connect to your laptop.
- Connect to high performance devices and use them at their intended speeds without overloading the port’s capacity.
- Keep your space organized wherever you game, with a dock that connects directly to the laptop itself.
- Relocate by simply detaching one cable and you’re free to go, no matter how many devices you’re connected to.

Made for Each Other
Built to see eye to eye with the next generation of graphics cards. Including our own.
Improved UHD graphics, up to two multi-format codec engines, support for variable rate shading and deeper, more immersive media, all driven by Xe Architecture. It’s the CPU your GPU has always dreamed of.
Feel Every Frame
Intel® Quick Sync Video uses smart transcoding to make sure your game doesn’t drop detail, even while streaming and recording at the same time.
Product and Performance Information
75% Latency Reduction: Is based on Intel simulation data (79%) of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6ms. Latency improvement requires that the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router and all clients support OFDMA.

Performance hybrid architecture combines two new core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die. Select 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (certain 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors and lower) do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores.
Performance varies by use, configuration and other factors. Learn more at www.Intel.com.au/PerformanceIndex.
Performance results are based on testing as of dates shown in configurations and may not reflect all publicly available updates. See backup for configuration details. No product or component can be absolutely secure.
