• Uses the LGA1700 socket, so it needs an LGA1700 motherboard.
• Memory support is DDR4 or DDR5, depending on the motherboard. A board supports only one type, so confirm this before quoting a build.
• The CPU provides PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 lanes; what you actually get depends on the board and the devices fitted.
• Because peak turbo power reaches 117 W, pair it with a board with adequate power delivery and a PSU sized for the rest of the build.

• Mid-range gaming builds paired with a discrete graphics card.
• Office, school and small-business desktops that include a GPU.
• Builds that want the option of DDR5 on a newer board, or DDR4 on a budget board.

• Systems with no graphics card, since there is no integrated GPU.
• Overclocking builds, since the CPU is locked.
