Intel® Speed Shift Technology
Indicates whether the processor incorporates Intel’s Speed Shift technology, which dynamically adjusts CPU frequency and voltage to balance performance and power consumption for improved efficiency.
Yes
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
The maximum operating frequency that a processor can reach when its turbo or boost feature is active, expressed in hertz (Hz). This value indicates the peak performance capability of the CPU under load and helps users compare how fast a processor can run beyond its base clock speed.
2
Launch date
The calendar date on which a product was first made available to the public or released for sale. It is expressed in the format YYYY-MM-DD and can be used to filter, sort, or display the launch timeline of the item.
Q4'21
Market segment
The target market segment for a product, such as "Business", "Home", or "Small‑medium business". This attribute helps customers quickly identify the intended user group and typical use case of the item.
Desktop
Maximum CPU configuration
The highest number of physical or logical processor cores that a computer system can support or is configured with. It indicates the maximum parallel processing capacity available for running applications and workloads.
1
Maximum internal memory
The largest amount of internal random‑access memory that a device can support, expressed as a data size such as megabytes or gigabytes. It indicates the maximum capacity for active processes and multitasking performance.
131072 MB
Maximum PCI Express lanes
Cantidad total de líneas (lanes) de la interfaz PCI Express disponibles en un dispositivo o placa base. Cada línea permite el flujo de datos entre el procesador y los dispositivos conectados, por lo que este número indica la capacidad máxima de ancho de banda para tarjetas y periféricos compatibles con PCIe.
20
Memory bandwidth maximum. 76.8 GB/s
Memory channels
The configuration of memory channels supported by a device, indicating how many independent memory paths the system can use for data transfer (e.g., Dual‑channel, Quad‑channel). This attribute helps users understand the potential bandwidth and performance characteristics of the memory subsystem.
Dual-channel
Memory types supported by processor DDR4-SDRAM, DDR5-SDRAM
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 box
PCI Express slots version 5
Processor boost frequency
The highest clock speed a processor can reach when its turbo or boost feature is active, expressed in hertz (Hz). This value indicates the peak performance capability of the CPU under load and helps users compare how fast a processor can run beyond its base clock speed.
4.9 GHz
Processor cache type
Indicates the level or category of a processor’s internal cache memory, such as L1, L2, L3, or Smart Cache. This attribute helps users understand the hierarchy and accessibility of cached data within the CPU, which can influence performance characteristics.
Smart Cache
Processor codename Alder Lake
Processor cores
The total number of physical processing units in a single central processing unit (CPU). This value indicates how many independent tasks the CPU can handle simultaneously, influencing multitasking and parallel performance.
10
Processor generation
The generation of a processor indicates the cohort or family of CPU models that share common architecture, performance characteristics, and feature sets. It is typically expressed as a numeric ordinal (e.g., "1st Generation", "10th Gen") followed by the manufacturer name and model series. This attribute helps users compare processors across brands and time periods.
12th gen Intel® CoreT i5
Processor model
Identifies the exact model of the central processing unit used in a device, including brand and numeric designation such as "Intel Core i5-8250U" or "AMD Ryzen 7 3700X". This value allows users to distinguish between different processor families, generations, and performance levels.
i5-12600KF
Processor operating modes
The set of instruction set architectures or execution modes that a processor can operate in, such as 32‑bit or 64‑bit. This attribute lists the supported modes for the CPU and helps users determine compatibility with software that requires a specific bitness.
64-bit
Processor package size
The overall dimensions of a processor’s physical package, expressed as length × width × height in millimetres or inches. It indicates the size that must fit within a motherboard socket or mounting area and helps users compare compatibility across different CPU models.
45 x 37.5 mm
