5. Intel® Graphics / Xe LPG Graphics Architecture: Available only on Intel® Core™ Ultra desktop processors (Series 2) that feature integrated graphics.
6. Memory Support: Maximum memory speeds are associated with 1 DIMM per Channel (1DPC) configurations. Additional DIMM loading on any channel may impact maximum memory speed. Up to DDR5-6400 MT/s 1DPC CUDIMM 1Rx8, 1Rx16, 2Rx8. Maximum memory capacity is achievable with 2DPC configurations. For additional 2DPC configuration details, refer to the Arrow Lake-S and Arrow Lake-HX Processor External Design Specification (EDS), Doc ID 729037.
7. TOPS: All TOPS are “up to” and approximate until final IP frequency defined, different SKUs with different frequency & power targets will have different TOPS.
8. AI Features: AI features may require software purchase, subscription, or enablement by a software or platform provider, or may have specific configuration or compatibility requirements. Details at intel.com/AIPC Results may vary.
9. Best-In-Class Wired Connectivity: See site for details: https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/performance/benchmarks/wired/.
10. Discrete Wi-Fi 7: While Wi-Fi 7 is backward compatible with previous generations, new Wi-Fi 7 features require PCs configured with Intel® Wi-Fi 7 solutions, PC OEM enabling, operating system support, and use with appropriate Wi-Fi 7 routers/APs/gateways. 6 GHz Wi-Fi 7 may not be available in all regions. Performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors. For details on performance claims, learn more at www.Intel.com/performance-wireless.
11. Intel® Connectivity Performance Suite: The Intel® Connectivity Performance Suite (ICPS) software application requires Microsoft Windows 11 operating system and enables automated network traffic prioritization and connection optimization for Intel PC platforms configured with Intel® Wi-Fi 7 (Gig+) products.
12. Intel® Unison™ Solution: Intel® Unison™ solution is currently available for Intel® Evo™ designs on Windows-based PCs powered by 13th Gen Intel® Core™ or newer CPU and only pairs with Android- or iOS-based phones and tablets; all devices must run a supported OS version. See intel.com/performance-evo for details.
13. Thunderbolt™ Share: Thunderbolt™ Share is required to be installed on both PCs. See the release notes via intel.com for supported hardware, what is new, bug fixes, and known issues.
14. Performance Hybrid Architecture: Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Select 12th Gen and newer Intel® Core™ processors do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores or E-cores, and may have the same cache size. See ark.intel.com for SKU details, including cache size and core frequency.
15. Intel® Dynamic Tuning Technology / Intel® Application Optimization: Performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors. Learn more at www.Intel.com/PerformanceIndex.
16. Processor Numbers: Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.
17. Processor Cores: Processor cores listed first are the total number of cores in the processor. The number of Performance-cores and the number of Efficient-cores are listed in parentheses (P+E).
18. Reliability, Availability, Serviceability / Intel® Standard Manageability (ISM): When paired with the eligible Intel® W880 Series chipset SKU, a motherboard with supporting hardware and software, and potential service activation.
19. Intel® Stable IT Platform Program (SIPP): Eligible for Intel® Stable IT Platform Program (Intel® SIPP) starting with Arrow Lake-S Commercial platform availability.
20. Intel® Standard Manageability: When paired with the eligible Intel® Q880 Series chipset SKU, a motherboard with supporting hardware and software, and potential service activation.
Performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors.
Performance results are based on testing as of dates shown in configurations and may not reflect all publicly available updates. See backup for configuration details. Results that are based on systems and components as well as results that have been estimated or simulated using an Intel Reference Platform (an internal example new system), internal Intel analysis or architecture simulation or modeling are provided to you for informational purposes only. Results may vary based on future changes to any systems, components, specifications, or configurations.
No product or component can be absolutely secure.?Your costs and results may vary. Intel technologies may require enabled hardware, software, or service activation.
All Intel® Evo™ branded designs are verified based on specific hardware and other requirements and must meet demanding thresholds for key mobile user experiences. Details at www.intel.com/performance-evo.
All versions of the Intel vPro® platform require an eligible Intel® processor, a supported operating system, Intel® LAN and/or WLAN silicon, firmware enhancements, and other hardware and software necessary to deliver the manageability use cases, security features, system performance, and stability that define the platform. See www.intel.com/PerformanceIndex for details.
AI features may require software purchase, subscription, or enablement by a software or platform provider, or may have specific configuration or compatibility requirements.?Details at intel.com/AIPC.
Intel is committed to the continued development of more sustainable products, processes, and supply chain as we strive to prioritize greenhouse gas reduction and improve our global environmental impact.

Overall Review: NIcely built and does what it's supposed to do (as it should for the price). Strangely, however, there's no header for a case speaker. I do actually miss this, and given that it has headers for far more exotic functions, don't understand why. Also, I could find only two Q-Fan controlled headers for chassis fans, one of which is bizarrely located--I had to get an extension cable to use it. Other fan headers are locked at full speed.
