Product and Performance Information

  • 1.CPU PCIe lanes are only validated for discrete graphics (x16) and PCIe storage.
  • 2.Intel® Hybrid Storage devices such as Pyramid Glacier (H20) can’t attach to CPU PCIe due to PCIe 2x2 requirement.
  • 3.Unlocked features are present with select chipsets and processor combinations.
  • 4.Users must download this app from Intel.com.
  • 5.Discrete Intel® Thunderbolt™ 4 (Maple Ridge) is only validated and supported from Intel® 500 Series Chipset PCIe lanes.
  • 6.Intel® WiFi 6 AX201 support using Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) requires specific hardware configurations. Discrete Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 available for chipsets not supporting connectivity integration.
  • 7.Results have been estimated or simulated based on internal Intel® analysis and are provided for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. All dates and plans are subject to change without notice. For more complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit intel.com/benchmarks. Performance results are based on testing as of the date set forth in the configurations and may not reflect all publicly available updates.
  • 8.Available only on 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors featuring integrated graphics.
  • 9.802.11ax 2x2 160MHz enables 2402Mbps maximum theoretical data rates, ~3X (2.8X) faster than standard 802.11ac 2x2 80MHz (867Mbps) as documented in IEEE 802.11 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers.
  • 10.Intel® Optane™ Memory H20 Test Configurations.
