Compatibility with a Vast Ecosystem
CPUs have always been made to work with different hardware and software components. Be it for a custom desktop build or an upgrade on an old system, CPUs are available for each and every motherboard socket and chipset architecture. The software side is no exception. Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems have been optimized to function with different models of CPUs. Moreover, there is an extremely large number of applications, from productivity tools all the way to gaming titles, that are specifically designed for these processors. All of these factors guarantee the freedom to adapt your system to your specifications, without the fear of running into compatibility hurdles.
