Intel's APO Tech Excludes 12th and 13th Gen CPUs, Disappointing PC Gamers
Intel has confirmed that there are no plans to support Application Optimization (APO) on their 12th and 13th Gen Core CPUs, including the Raptor Lake Refresh and Alder Lake series. APO technology, which prioritizes P-Cores and optimizes E-Cores for game-intensive tasks, has shown significant performance improvements in select games. However, the support for APO remains limited, with only two games currently compatible. While the lack of APO support may not be a major concern at present, gamers using older LGA1700 CPUs may feel left out if Intel continues to expand software support for APO.
