Hello PSeyr,

 

Thank you for patiently waiting. According to our datasheets, both the 13th Generation Intel® Core™ and Intel® Core™ 14th Generation Processors are compatible with Bifurcation. Detailed information on bifurcation can be found on page 140, within Table 51 of the datasheet. However, this feature is not mentioned in the datasheet for the 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor.

 

It is also important to note the following as well for Bifurcation function: 

  • To determine if CPUs/Chipsets support Bifurcation, it is important to identify motherboards that offer PCIe Bifurcation by reviewing the specifications provided by the manufacturers or by consulting the motherboard's user manual.
  • The Bifurcation Feature is generally a function of the motherboard's chipset, not the CPU. It facilitates the splitting of PCIe lanes on the motherboard and is configurable via the BIOS settings.
  • For comprehensive datasheets of the processors, we encourage you to visit our Technical Resources section for Intel® Core™ Processors.

 

If you have further questions, feel free to let us know and we will answer them for you.
