- Memory
- Cache Level: L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)

A: I had to get a new motherboard to go with the new processor for my gaming PC; the one I chose was made by Gigabyte- I got the Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI , but any of Gigabyte’s motherboards should work. Check to make sure they support 6th and 7th generation Intel Core Processors. I’ve attached a picture of the box my motherboard arrived in. Any processor that works with an Intel processor will have the Intel logo printed somewhere on the front of the box.
Q: Would this CPU be compatible with my Asus M32AD computer?
A: No. The current motherboard in your pc only hosts up to the 4th generation of intel processors. Meaning anything from 4970 to the 4400. Nothing from the 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th generation.
