Key features

Intel rates it at up to 4.9 GHz max turbo with a 2.1 GHz base clock, backed by 25 MB Intel Smart Cache, at 65 W processor base power and up to 180 W maximum turbo power.

It supports DDR5 up to 4800 MT/s or DDR4 up to 3200 MT/s memory. It has no integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is required.

This is the tray version: it ships without a retail box or CPU cooler, so plan for a separate cooler.
