Cooler included
Core count
The total number of physical cores in a processor, expressed either as a numeric value or in descriptive terms such as "Quad Core" or "Hexa Core". This attribute captures the core count information regardless of whether it is presented numerically or textually.
Quad Core
CPU Brand
The company that designs and produces the central processing unit (CPU) used in a device. This value identifies the brand of the processor, such as Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, or ARM Holdings, allowing users to assess compatibility, performance expectations, and support resources.
Intel
CPU Socket
The physical connector used by a processor to attach to a motherboard or other compatible platform, such as LGA 1151, BGA 1440, Socket AM4, or LGA 1200. This attribute indicates the exact socket designation required for proper CPU installation and compatibility with other hardware components.
Socket 1151
CPU Speed
The maximum operating frequency of a central processing unit (CPU), expressed in hertz (Hz). This value indicates how many cycles per second the CPU can execute under normal conditions and is useful for comparing performance potential across different models.
3.7 GHz
CPU Threads
The total number of independent execution units (threads) that a CPU can handle simultaneously. This value indicates how many parallel tasks the processor can process at once, affecting multitasking performance and workload distribution.
4
CPU Type
The specific name or designation of the central processing unit installed in a device, such as "Intel Core i5-11400" or "AMD Ryzen 7 5800X." It identifies the exact processor variant and helps users compare performance, compatibility, and features across products.
Intel Core i3
Depth
The linear measurement of an object from front to back or top to bottom, expressed in a physical unit such as millimeters, centimeters, inches, etc. It indicates how deep the item is and can be used for fitting, compatibility, or spatial planning.
37.5 mm
Form factor
Specifies the physical configuration or design of a product, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, tower, case with cover, etc. It describes how the device is built and what mounting or expansion options it supports.
CPU
Graphics chipset
The exact model or designation of the graphics processing unit (GPU) installed in a device, such as "Intel UHD Graphics 620", "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070" or "AMD Radeon RX 580". It identifies the specific GPU variant used for rendering and video processing, allowing users to compare visual performance and compatibility across products.
Intel UHD 630
L2 cache
The amount of internal memory reserved for a processor’s L2 cache, expressed as a pair of values: the number of banks and the capacity per bank (e.g., "4 x 256 KB"). This format allows specification of both the count of cache banks and the capacity of each bank, which together determine the total L2 cache available to the CPU.
1 MB
L3 cache
The amount of internal memory reserved for a processor’s L3 cache, expressed in units such as megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). This value indicates how much data the CPU can store locally to accelerate access and improve overall performance.
6 MB
Max memory channel
The highest number of independent memory slots that a device can support for installing RAM modules. It indicates the maximum capacity for expanding system memory and is useful when comparing motherboards or processors that allow multiple memory banks.
2
Memory type
The classification of the memory technology used in a device, such as DDR4 SDRAM, LPDDR3, GDDR6, or other variants. It indicates the architecture and generation of the RAM modules installed or supported by the product.
DDR4 2400MHz
Package type
The form of packaging used for a product, such as box, blister pack, bag, or pallet. It indicates how the item is contained and protected during shipping and storage.
Retail
Power usage
The electrical power consumption of a device during normal operation, expressed in watts (W). It represents the typical energy draw when the product is actively used and can be compared across similar devices to assess efficiency.
62W
Process Technology
The manufacturing process technology used to fabricate a processor, expressed in nanometers (nm). It indicates the size of the transistors and other features on the chip, which influences performance, power consumption, and integration density. The value is typically a numeric measurement such as 14 nm or 28 nm.
14 nm
Processor
The processor is the central processing unit (CPU) that executes instructions and performs calculations for a device. It typically includes information such as brand, model, core count, clock speed, cache size, and any special features like turbo boost or integrated graphics. The value should be a free‑text description of the specific CPU used in the product.
8300
