Intel is backporting APO frame-boosting tech to certain Core CPUs

During CES 2024, Intel confirmed it would bring optimizations to “select” 12th- and 13th-gen Core processors.

Notorious GPU-manglers such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Starfield aren’t on the list yet.

Intel plans to release regular updates offering APO support to more CPU-intensive applications and games.

Users can download the system Optimization “user interface” through theMicrosoft Storeor fromTechSpot downloads.

Intel said it doesn’t plan to provide the software through its native download center for some reason.
