Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs could be gaming powerhouses (eventually)

Intel has disclosed more about how Alder Lake processors will work for gamers, and as we’ve heard in the past via the rumor mill, the power-efficient (‘little’) cores should more than pull their weight even for gaming on a desktop PC – in certain scenarios.

Team Blue has already explained how these 12th-gen CPUs, with their mix of performance (normal) and efficient (low-power) cores, will work with Windows 11 to get the most out of the processor’s abilities. Alder Lake will have a Thread Director, a hardware-based scheduler to work in tandem with Windows 11’s thread scheduler, enabling the operating system to fully optimize CPU performance for different workloads.
