Cores at work
Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.
Reach new heights
With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

For MAO-oriented PCs
I wanted to change my DAW PC this time, and unlike all my previous computers, I decided to choose each element in a configuration that would evolve over time according to my needs.
As far as the INTEL CORE I7-12700K processor is concerned, I'm fully satisfied. It's paired with a GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX and a BE QUIET! DARK ROCK 4 PROCESSOR FAN. It's fast and efficient, and more than enough for computer music.
To help others, here's the software I use:
- Windows 11
- Steinberg: Cubase Pro 12, HALion, Dorico 4 ;
- Native Instrument Komplete Ultimate ;
- iZotope ;
- Superior Drummer 3, EZbass
- etc.
After several months of use, I'm really pleased ^^.Review automatically translated
