Intel APO receives 12 new game profiles, Core Ultra 200K series now supported

Intel recently rolled out an update for the Application Optimizer (APO), proprietary software based on Dynamic Tuning Technology (DTT). Originally exclusive to the 14th Generation Core series, the functionality has since been extended to include the 13th and 12th Generation Core processors and now also supports the Core Ultra 200K series.

Note that while the Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 7 265K(F) are fully supported, the Core Ultra 5 245K(F) with fewer P-Cores is restricted to the “Advanced Mode” like all other CPUs with six P-cores, limiting activation to supported games only.

To broaden its scope, Intel has added a few competitive titles, such as Fortnite, DOTA 2, and CS2, to its APO-supported games list. Additionally, Intel is expanding compatibility to include other popular titles, like Cyberpunk 2077, Naraka Bladepoint, Riftbreaker, Company of Heroes 3, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and three Total War games. Here's the complete list of games supported by APO:

1. Company of Heroes 3
2. Counter-Strike: 2
3. Cyberpunk 2077
4. Dirt 5
5. Dota 2
6. Dreams Three Kingdoms 2 (PRC)
7. F1 22
8. Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker
9. Fortnite
10. Guardians of the Galaxy
11. Metro Exodus
12. Naraka: Bladepoint
13. Rainbow 6 Siege
14. Red Dead Redemption 2
15. Riftbreaker
16. Serious Sam 4
17. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
18. Strange Brigade (VLK)

21. Total War: Three Kingdoms
22. Total War: Warhammer 3
23. Watch Dogs Legion

It's worth noting that Intel leveraged APO for internal testing during the launch of the Core Ultra 200K series, with the official presentation showing performance figures with APO enabled.

KitGuru says: Could APO make the Core Ultra 200K series more interesting?
