The performance of APO (Application Optimization) technology offered with 14th generation Intel 14700K and 14900K CPUs was tested. The effect of this feature was eagerly awaited because it is expected to provide a performance increase. And it is understood from the test results; Intel game optimization technology FPS increase will provide.
Intel Game Optimization Technology Provides FPS Increase
Intel has been using a hybrid model consisting of performance and efficiency cores in its processors for a long time. Tested today and the results are eagerly awaited 14th Gen Intel Application Optimization (APO) It is also intended to increase performance in games. APO improves performance by analyzing kernel loads. We can compare Intel Application Optimization to the Thread Director available on Alder Lake processors. Unlike Thread Director, Intel APO focuses more on games.

Intel APO was introduced along with the 14th Generation Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors and was tested to see if it increased performance. According to the test results, Intel APO provides an FPS increase of up to 32 percent, but only in certain games. The number of games supported by the application in question is still limited. For now, the games announced by Intel are; Rainbow Six Siege and Metro Exodus. It is expected that the optimization will also support different games in the future.
Although no comprehensive test of the optimization technology was shared during the promotion, Reddit user LightMoisture tested the APO technology. RTX 4090 with Intel Core i9-14900K activated on. The results of the test attracted a lot of attention. According to the result, Redditor achieved an FPS increase of up to 32 percent on Rainbow Six Siege, reaching 867 FPS. In Metro Exodus, another game tested, the FPS increase was around 24 percent.
Intel APO Test Results!
Performance gains achieved as a result of the test;
- Rainbow Six Siege performance gain with APO technology enabled: +32%
- Metro Exodus performance gain with APO technology enabled: +24%
It took place as follows.
Intel did not make a statement about whether APO technology will be released with support for the old generation LGA1700 CPU. With this Alder Lake and Raptor Lake It can be said that its processors are supported by Application Optimization. Since the application is still in the testing phase, it seems that we will have to wait a bit for these.
Apart from these, according to the rumors, within the scope of the optimization in question new artificial intelligence Arguments are said to be under development. It is expected that the performance of the technology in question will be increased to 50 percent by eliminating the problems that are tried to be corrected in the software, covering almost 25 percent of the performance.
