  • Key Specs
    • 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: 3.6 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: 4.9 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. This rate may temporarily boost the processor's performance, but may result in overheating, shutdown, or damage to equipment if sustained.)
    • Number of CPU Cores: 12-core (A core, or "brain" of a CPU, allows it to receive and execute instructions. Each core can work independently or together to perform parallel operations.)
