Intel Hybrid Architecture (P-core + E-core)

Intel's Hybrid Architecture, introduced with Alder Lake (12th gen, 2021), combines two distinct core microarchitectures on the same die: Performance cores (P-cores, full-featured Golden Cove / Raptor Cove / Lion Cove) for single-threaded workloads and Efficiency cores (E-cores, smaller Gracemont / Skymont / Crestmont clusters) for background tasks and lightly threaded workloads. Intel Thread Director hardware monitors instruction mix in real time and communicates scheduling hints to the OS thread scheduler, routing work to the most appropriate core. The flagship 14th gen i9-14900K has 8 P-cores + 16 E-cores (32 threads). Core Ultra 200H/HX continues hybrid with LP-E-cores for ultra-low-power background tasks.
