The new Intel APO technology, ed on its Core i9 14900K and Core i7 14700K Us, has been tested and shown to push the performance of its ed titles to incredible lengths. This could be the future of game optimization from Intel, but it needs more ed titles added soon.
While best gaming Us.
YouTuber Talon's Tech took it upon themselves to run tests on Intel APO in the two compatible games; Rainbow Six Siege and Metro Exodus. Despite some considerable roadblocks in getting the correct drivers installed, once this was done, all they needed to do was the APO app from the Microsoft Store.
Using an Intel Core i9 14900K, they ran the initial benchmark, with global low graphics settings, and got a result of 667 fps as an average. The only change they made was restarting the game with Intel APO enabled and running the benchmark test again. Instantly, the gains are noticeable and at one point, the fps tops out at 1,163 with the overall average being 865.
These are pretty incredible gains for only activating U optimization tech, so we'd be keen to see what Intel APO can accomplish with higher graphical settings and in a wider range of games.
We recently took a look at the Intel Core i5 14600K, which may not be compatible with APO, but is a more than irable gaming U if you're in need of an upgrade.
