How Hybrid Technology Works

Intel® Thread Director

Keep your gaming free of interruptions by making sure background tasks don't slow you down.1

The thread director is built directly into the hardware and provides instructions that make sure the right thread is in the right core at the right time. The P-core is prominently where the foreground programs go. This would cover bigger tasks or more important tasks, such as playing a game or running Photoshop. The programs that are deemed most important, usually through interaction, are given the highest priority with P-core.

Meanwhile, E-core covers more of the background programs, so less power is sent to applications you aren't interacting with or don't currently have open. If needed, P-core and E-core can switch roles to fulfil power needs, but the director will always try to put the power where it's needed and save power where it's not.
