CPU Parameters Overview

Processor Expert | View | CPU Parameters Overview

You may get the technical features of a CPU by selecting the CPU Parameters Overview command of the View menu. The complete database then appears together with a query window. By specifying requirements on technical features, you may filter the database in order to display only relevant CPUs. If you press OK, you will get the list of CPUs that meet your requirements. If you press All, all the CPUs supported by your version of Processor Expert will be listed.
