L3 cache
L3 cache	12 MB	19.25 MB (better)
Cores
Cores	Four P-cores and no E-cores; Hyper-Threading supported.	Cascade Lake-X; Hyper-Threading and an unlocked multiplier, confirmed by Intel’s exact-model family product brief.
Clocks
Clocks	CPU multiplier locked (Intel support). Current Intel specifications list 110 W maximum turbo power; the January 2023 maker launch table and Tom's Hardware list 89 W. ComputerBase also reports 110 W.	Turbo Boost Max 3.0 up to 4.80 GHz on the preferred cores; ordinary Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 4.60 GHz. Intel targeted November 2019 availability, but first actual sale was not established in the bounded source pass; conservative year precision is retained.
Cache
Cache	12 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3); 5 MB total L2.	19.25 MB Intel Smart Cache; Intel’s exact-model product-brief table identifies it as L3 cache.
