With the Alder Lake processors, Intel has launched a small revolution in the world of x86 architecture by adopting a hybrid technology based on two different types of cores assembled within the same chip: Performance-Cores and Efficient-Cores. With more cores and more power, 12th generation Intel processors are ready for next-generation gaming, PCI-Express 5.0 graphics cards and DDR5 RAM.
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.
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.

What speed, for photo editing, for office automation, for surfing the Internet, as long as it lasts!
Suitable for my use .................................................................................
Everything is perfect and we are very happy! There's nothing to say about the welcome, the attention and the advice, the team is very professional and we'd have no problem recommending this shop.
I ordered my components on Wednesday and the parcel arrived the next morning, top responsiveness and professionalism. After comparing my basket on several shopping sites, LDLC is the cheapest. I'm delighted to use a French distributor with a responsive, competent and understandable after-sales service that I've already had to deal with. I would recommend
Well done to all the teams.
Very good welcome and advice, we were offered 2 tours and the salesman didn't force us into a sale. He compared the 2 towers very well, giving us the advantages/disadvantages.
Very satisfied with the advice and sale
