WHAT IT BRINGS

The useful part.

Includes AMD Radeon 740M graphics and 12 hardware threads, allowing display support through a compatible motherboard without requiring a discrete GPU. Actual gaming performance needs comparable testing.

Manufacturer source
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

The checks that matter.

PCIe 4.0 provides 10 usable native CPU lanes; check the board's actual graphics and storage links. The four Zen 4c cores have a lower maximum clock than the two Zen 4 cores.
