Intel Thread Director 2 for Thirteenth-gen Core CPUs is superior

Getting into the weeds of how processors work, and the way they work underneath load with completely different sorts of duties, is all the time a giant ask. Luckily, Gordon Mah Ung just lately acquired some solutions straight from the horse’s mouth at Intel’s Innovation 2022 convention. Check out the newest PCWorld YouTube video for a breakdown of how the Core i9-13900K and the Windows 11 2022 Update unfold the load {of professional} media and video games throughout its eight efficiency cores and sixteen effectivity cores.

As you possibly can see within the video, the processor’s newly up to date Thread Director 2 can go to max processing on all 24 threads when a single demanding process is operating, like rendering lighting results in Unreal 5. But if you happen to throw one other load on high of that, as Intel’s Senior Technical Marketing Engineer Roy Hill does on the demo machine, it’s sensible sufficient to dedicate the efficiency cores to the foreground process whereas protecting the effectivity cores buzzing on the primary program.

Not sufficient? What if you wish to go hog wild and throw an intense gaming session on high of each of these duties? The demo does simply that, as soon as once more shifting background processes to the E-cores whereas the sport runs super-smooth on the P-cores, devoted to essentially the most urgent foreground process.

We’ll be capable to break down the Core i9-13900K and its newly-announced stablemates extra totally after we get them in for evaluation. In the meantime, go subscribe to the PCWorld YouTube channel for much more nerdy seems on the newest and biggest in laptop {hardware}!
