Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture is a significant shift in the x86 architecture, featuring two new microarchitectures supported by intelligence built directly into the hardware. This allows gamers the flexibility of high-performance processing for games and efficient processing options for multitasking. 

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that can produce incredibly realistic lighting effects. It’s an algorithm for traceing the path of light and then simulating how the light interacts with the virtual objects it ultimately hits in the computer-generated world.

Ray Tracing enables exceptional realism across a wide range of game visuals. Using true-to-life real-time calculations, ray tracing is today’s most physically accurate simulation of light. With hardware-accelerated ray tracing capabilities built into every X^e HPG-based GPU, you’ll get the best lighting, shadows, and reflections for ultra-realistic gaming.
