Intel’s mainstream processor line has used the Core name for many years. These chips are built to excel at a wide range of tasks while also being affordable, and the models we carry offer the best single- and lightly-threaded performance available.
The latest Core models from Intel are the first x86 chips to include different types of cores on the same die: “performance” cores with high clock speeds and Hyper-Threading technology and “efficient” cores that use less power for low priority and background tasks. Combined with the updated scheduler in Windows 11, this design enables both higher processing speeds and better efficiency than previous generations.
For users who need even more cores, higher memory capacities, or support for more than one video card (GPU) we also offer workstations based on Intel’s Xeon processors.
