- Processor Socket: Socket LGA 1700 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- PCI Express Version: PCI Express 5.0, PCI Express 4.0
- CPU Base Clock Frequency: 2.5 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The average rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks under normal operating conditions as asserted by the manufacturer.)
- CPU Boost Clock Frequency: 4.4 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The maximum rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks, typically only used for a short period of time as needed.

Very excellent cpu
Really good cpu for gaming also very good to play video games temporarily if you don’t have a graphics card at the moment or if you’re playing games that don’t require much power.

Bang for buck
There might be better processors in the 13th gen, but for its time, it was the best speed per dollar value. It performs like a champ in all of the AAA games I've thrown at it.
