Integrating a graphics core into the processor complements its functionality, but not all manufacturers (AMD or Intel) integrate iGPU into their CPUs. Even if the processor has an integrated graphics card, its power is hardly enough for modern games, so these features do not affect the overall performance of the processor. If Intel Core i9-7920X supports an integrated graphics core, you can see its specifications below.

• GPU name
  no iGPU
• GPU (Turbo)
  No turbo

A specialized processor extension introduced for the first time in 2008 by Intel. The AES-NI encryption system handles data that is stored in RAM and on the hard disk. See if your Intel Core i9-7920X processor supports this type of encryption.

• AES-NI
  Yes

When you are going to upgrade your computer, you should choose your processor carefully, especially paying attention to temperature ratings and TDP. Look at the operating and maximum temperatures of the processor Intel Core i9-7920X and the TDP at PL1 and PL2 levels. The final power of the power supply will depend on this data, as well as the number of power phases on the motherboard.

• TDP (PL1)
  165 W
