Intel has expanded its Application Optimization (APO) technology to support 26 games now. This means improved performance for Core Ultra 200S and the latest 14th Gen CPUs. The update includes popular titles from esports and AAA games, like "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 2" and "Cyberpunk 2077". Intel APO uses dynamic tuning to boost performance, battery life, and manage temperatures more effectively. The newly supported games are:

        - "Company of Heroes 3"
        - "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 2"
        - "Cyberpunk 2077"
        - "Dirt 5"
        - "Dota 2"
        - "Dreams of Three Kingdoms 2"
        - "F1 22"
        - "Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker"
        - "Fortnite"
        - "Guardians of the Galaxy"
        - "Metro Exodus"
        - "Naraka: Bladepoint"
        - "Red Dead Redemption 2"
        - "Riftbreaker"
        - "Serious Sam 4"
        - "Shadow of the Tomb Raider"
        - "Strange Brigade (VLK)"
        - "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands"
        - "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege"
        - "Total War: Pharaoh"
        - "Total War: Three Kingdoms"
        - "Total War: Warhammer 3"
        - "Watch Dogs: Legion"
        - "World of Tanks"
        - "World of Warcraft"
        - "World War Z"

        Games like "CS:GO 2" and "Dota 2" are huge hits with thousands of simultaneous players on platforms like Steam. The optimization will make these games run smoother on Intel's latest hardware, especially the Arrow Lake Core 200S chips. However, only Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors can currently benefit from APO. For the best results, it's recommended to use the Core Ultra 200S (Ultra 7 and Ultra 9) or the 14th Gen Core i7 and Core i9 CPUs.

        Mobile processors have more limited support. Only the Core i7 14700HX and Core i9 14900HX enjoy full support, while other CPUs have limited Advanced Mode support.
