Cores
Cores	Zen 3; Vermeer; 2 package dies; simultaneous multithreading	Four cores and four threads; Hyper-Threading is absent. TechRadar's exact Core i5-750 overclocking guide confirms the CPU multiplier is locked; base-clock overclocking remains possible.
Clocks
Clocks	Precision Boost 2; unlocked for overclocking	Up to 3.20 GHz Turbo Boost. Intel's embedded product brief specifies 3.20 GHz with one or two active cores and 2.80 GHz with four; actual behaviour depends on workload, cooling and platform limits.

Memory support
Memory support	DDR4 UDIMM; 2 memory channels; maximum 128 GB; ECC requires motherboard support. 2 single- or dual-rank DIMMs: DDR4-3200; 4 single-rank DIMMs: DDR4-2933; 4 dual-rank DIMMs: DDR4-2667	Two channels of DDR3-1066/1333. Optional maximum memory capacity and bandwidth are omitted because the retired exact-model specification page could not be read.
PCIe
PCIe	PCIe 4.0; 24 native lanes, 20 usable; 4 native USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and 2 SATA ports	16 processor PCIe 2.0 lanes, configurable as one ×16 or two ×8 graphics links. A separate DMI link connects the processor to the chipset.
Chipsets
Chipsets	X570, X470, X370, B550, B450, B350 and A520	–
Process
Process	TSMC 7nm FinFET CPU cores; GlobalFoundries 12nm I/O die; CPU compute die 74 mm², I/O die 125 mm²	45 nm; Lynnfield, based on the Nehalem architecture.
Cooler
Cooler	AMD Wraith Stealth; Tjmax 90°C	LGA1156 platform, distinct from LGA775 and LGA1366. Intel's 8 September 2009 notice names the 750 and says the new processors and P55 chipset are available that day. Cooler inclusion and package temperature are omitted where maker evidence is unavailable.
