Intel Verifies 13th and 12th Generation Core Processors Won’t Get the APO Feature

Though they share a nearly identical microarchitecture, the 14th generation Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” processors are distinguished from the 13th generation by a special feature called Intel Application Performance Optimization (APO). APO, or application-specific processor optimization, is software-based and has been found to provide performance boosts of up to 16%...

Intel will accept 6P+4E as the Core Configuration for the Core i5-14400.

Intel will accept 6P+4E as the Core Configuration for the Core i5-14400.

The CPU core configuration for Intel’s future Core i5-14400 and i5-14400F desktop CPUs is supposedly 6P+4E. 6 performance cores (P-cores) and 4 efficiency cores (E-cores) are therefore present. One featured a 6P+4E configuration, and the other was thought to have a 6P+8E configuration, like the remainder of the 14th Gen...
