- Number of Memory Channels Supported: 2
- Cache Level: L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)
- L3 Cache: 25 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

- User documentation
Q: Does it come with a cpu cooler?
A: No it doesnt. Als be careful you buy a cooler that works with LGA 1700 or you buy a motherboard that includes LGA 1200 cooler mounting support as well (which is what I chose to do)
Q: Does the processor come with a graphics card installed?
A: This chip does come with integrated graphics only the KF models do not have integrated graphics, it’s an alright idea to use onboard graphics until the gpu market settles.
A: Yes it has integrated graphics.
Q: Does this come with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?
A: It's part of the Intel Gamer Days. It doesn't look like Best Buy is still participating. Here is the website. https://softwareoffer.intel.com/Campaign/LearnMore/18d45e50-2753-42df-bd35-6ec1be88ccef
Q: My current PC has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz would this fit my pc?
A: It really depends on your motherboard If it is compatible with 12th gen CPUs
A: Intel® Core™ Desktop processors (12th gen) use the LGA1700 socket and require motherboards based on Intel® 700 Series Desktop Chipsets and Intel® 600 Series Desktop Chipsets. Intel® 600 Series and Intel® 700 Series require a BIOS update when upgrading from Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors 12th or 13th to a 14th gen.
A: You will need a compatible motherboard for this cpu and sufficient cooler as it doesn't come with a cooler and make sure power supply compatible plus powerful enough and the most important part, make sure the pc case can fit all this without problems
Q: is powerful enough to push a 3090 ftw 3 ultra
A: It'll work, recommended for such a powerful graphics card i9-13900K but i7-12700K is good too
