Obtain CPU model name
To get you CPU model you have a few options. If you have a retail box or an invoice near you, just look at it and read model name. It should be something like Intel® Core™ i7-4790. Only "i7-4790" part actually matters.
If you have a linux system installed on that machine where CPU is, just run:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -1
And you will get a string like ("E3-1245" is the CPU model):
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v3 @ 3.40GHz
If you have Windows installed on that machine, go to "Control Panel" > "System". You will see "Processor" line in the opened window.
Refer to Intel ARK
- Go to Intel ARK website.
- Enter your CPU model name in the search bar on the right. For example, "i7-4790" and press enter.
- You will see CPU specs sheet
Please note that all XEON processors additionally require mainboard with C226 chipset only. It is not required for Core processors.
