Intel APO gets new titles

In case you need a faster gaming experience. 



Intel has released a new update for APO, its special software that can take advantage of Dynamic Tuning Technology (DTT). This feature was primarily an exclusive technology for the 14th Gen Core series but was later enabled for the 13th and 12th Gen Core series.

Before we dive into the new game list update, it’s important to note that the software has also been updated for the new Core Ultra 200K series. Specifically, the Ultra 9 285K, 265KF, and 265K are fully supported, while the Core Ultra 5 245K(F), which has fewer P-Cores, is limited in “Advanced Mode.” This basically means you may not be able to enable APO for all unsupported games, which is possible with full support.

As for the games, Intel is officially adding some E-sports titles like Fortnite, DOTA 2, and CS2. Along with the already supported Rainbow Six Siege, this means Intel is finally pushing APO for more competitive titles. There’s also support for Cyberpunk 2077, Naraka Bladepoint, and three games from the Total War series.

It’s worth noting that Intel used APO for its internal testing when presenting the Core Ultra 200K series, so the performance shown on the official slides is with APO enabled.

As a reminder, APO is supported by Core Ultra 200, 14th Gen Core (desktop and HX variants) in i7 and i9 tiers, 13th Gen and 12th Gen Core Series. But as mentioned, CPUs with 6 P-Cores have limited Advanced Mode support. Check Intel site for details.
