Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Intel Core and Intel Xeon CPUs?

Intel Core CPUs are designed for consumer PCs. Intel Xeon CPUs are built for enterprise servers and workstations, offering advanced reliability, multi-CPU support and larger memory capacities.

How do I know if an Intel CPU is compatible with my motherboard?

Check your motherboard's specifications for supported CPU socket types (e.g., LGA 1200 or LGA 1700). Also, verify compatibility with the processor's generation and chipset version.

What is the difference between Intel’s various socket types?

Each Intel socket type supports specific CPU generations and features. For example:

LGA 1200: Supports 10th and 11th Gen Intel processors.

LGA 1700: Supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs with advanced features like DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.

How do Intel CPUs compare to AMD CPUs?

Intel CPUs excel in single-core performance, making them ideal for gaming and high-speed applications. AMD CPUs often provide better multi-core performance for productivity tasks like video editing and rendering. Both brands offer strong options across various price points.

What should I consider when upgrading from an older Intel CPU?

Check motherboard compatibility, socket type and whether your system supports the newer CPU’s required features, such as DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0. A BIOS update may also be necessary.

How long does Intel typically support a CPU generation?

Intel generally supports CPU generations for several years, with frequent BIOS and driver updates. However, new generations are released approximately every 1-2 years, meaning platform support may shift as newer models enter the market.
