Cores6 P-cores and 8 E-cores; 20 threads. ComputerBase identifies its tested sample as C0 Alder Lake silicon within the marketed Raptor Lake Refresh generation.Broadwell-E; 6 cores with Hyper-Threading. The unlocked multiplier is confirmed by the exact-model reviews.
ClocksP-cores: 2.6 GHz base, up to 5.0 GHz turbo. E-cores: 1.9 GHz base, up to 3.7 GHz turbo.Turbo Boost Max 3.0 up to 3.80 GHz on the preferred core; ordinary Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.60 GHz. The main boost field uses Intel’s highest published frequency. May availability follows Tom’s Hardware’s 31 May 2016 report, attributing immediate sale of all four models to Intel. Intel’s family record is dated 30 May and ARK gives Q2 2016; the announcement day is not treated as an exact first-sale day.

ChipsetsIntel 600- and 700-series motherboards; appropriate BIOS support required.X99 and LGA2011-v3, distinguished by Intel’s exact-model comparison chart and the reviews. Current ARK abbreviates the socket as FCLGA2011; this is not compatible with the older X79 LGA2011 platform.
ProcessIntel 7; Raptor Lake Refresh generation. ComputerBase identifies the tested sample as C0 Alder Lake silicon. 45 × 37.5 mm package; 100°C maximum junction temperature.14 nm; Broadwell-E.
CoolerIntel Laminar RM1 included with the boxed processor (Intel support).Intel explicitly excludes a fan and heatsink from the boxed product; a separate compatible cooler is required.
