Shortages in the semiconductor industry and supply chain issues that have been plaguing the digital world in the past year, made us almost forget that the technology marches on and that the new releases are still happening. The newest generation of processors made by Intel is finally available to the general public. The design is hybrid, with two types of processing cores, which function together and optimize the performance. Additionally, this synergy yields decreased consumption of electrical current. With hybrid combination in place, the complexity of the processor inevitably increased.
Key Takeaways:
- Intel buzz regarding the 12th Gen Core i9 12900K is that it shows performance levels of nearly 20% over the 11th Gen iteration.
- This new iteration will feature DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200 support on the memory.
- DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200 are not interchangeable. So, motherboards will feature compatibility with one or the other.
“Since August, Intel has been talking about the design of its 12th Generation Core processor family, also known as Alder Lake.”
