PCIE 5.0 / 4.0

PCIe Expansion

Up to 20 PCIe 5.0/4.0 lanes, with implementation dependent on motherboard.

F-SERIES / TRAY

Graphics Card Required

No integrated GPU; a discrete card is required. TRAY variant without included cooler.

02 / REAL-WORLD USES

QUAD CPU CAPABILITY MATRIX

Practical processor applications, not measured FPS or system-specific benchmark figures.

GAMING

Gaming

For value-oriented gaming PCs paired with a discrete GPU; FPS varies with the full build.

PRODUCTIVITY

Multitasking

6 cores and 12 threads for everyday productivity, work and study.

CREATOR

Content Creation

Useful for creator workloads subject to workload size, RAM, GPU and cooling.

PC BUILDING

System Building

Pair with a compatible LGA1700 board using its supported DDR4 or DDR5 memory.

Actual boost speeds and performance depend on thermals, power and motherboard settings. Gaming FPS cannot be predicted from the CPU alone.
