Compatibility and service notes
- High-performance Alder Lake-H laptop design. Requires an OEM board built for BGA1744, matching BIOS, cooling and the platform power delivery; not a drop-in socket upgrade.
- DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800, LPDDR4x-4267 or LPDDR5-5200; exact support depends on board configuration Memory speed, channel wiring and any memory-on-package configuration must match the system-board design.
- Check the laptop manufacturer's exact model-level CPU list, board revision, BIOS/firmware, thermal assembly and power profile. Package name alone does not guarantee electrical, firmware or mechanical compatibility.
- PCI Express capabilities do not promise a particular connector, storage slot or external port; those are implemented by the notebook platform.
