I am looking to buy a new desktop computer to take advantage of the newest technology. I have read several articles about the hybrid chips but I did not find any article that would address my question. Every single article I've read talks about the advantage of the new technology for gaming even on a laptop. I do not spend time gaming at all. Should I reach the conclusion that the hybrid technology is useless to me?</P><P>I use my computer for surfing the web, emails, looking at photos and handling Word and Excel documents. How would I benefit of the hybrid technology in such a context? Maybe I should stick to my i5-9400&nbsp;<SPAN>if I cannot take advantage of the performance cores.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Regards</SPAN></P><P>.</P> Sun, 10 May 2026 14:59:54 GMT yvon514 2026-05-10T14:59:54Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Hybrid-technology-for-basic-usage/m-p/1747429#M88515 <P>Hello,</P><P>I am presently using a desktop computer driven by an i5-9400 CPU.
