Windows 10: Does i5-12500h support Directx12 ultimate ?

Does it?

What does DirectX12 Ultimate mean for projects made with DirectX12 API?

Hello to the person who is reading this, I hope you are safe and sound and that everything is okay due to the current events.

I have recently read about DirectX12 Ultimate being announced :

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/announcing-directx-12-ultimate/

Now, after reading the article I got really hyped up, so I searched around for more information around the
DirectX Dev Blog and saw this article:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-12-ultimate-getting-started-guide/

I was confused at first after reading it because I as a person who likes to experiment with new technology saw a link to the samples of the new API, but the link (GitHub - microsoft/DirectX-Graphics-Samples: This repo contains the DirectX Graphics samples that demonstrate how to build graphics intensive applications on Windows.)
reached into a GitHub master branch which I already knew since way before DirectX12 Ultimate got announced.

So I'm pretty confused right now since basically, I thought that the announcement of DirectX12 Ultimate would mean changing already existing DirectX12 code. So, what does DirectX12 Ultimate API actually change for the programmer side? Does it only signify
that a computer/graphics card is able of using the newest features (i.e: ray-tracing)?

(Also I'm not sure in which category this belongs to, so I posted this in the "Gaming on Windows 10" one since it seems as the most logical choice.)

Thank you very much.

 

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
