Windows 11 Supported Processors: List of Intel and AMD Processors

Microsoft's latest operating system was revealed on June 24, 2021, and since n it has garnered massive attention. As anticipated, it will be called Windows 11 and will initially roll out for Windows Insiders, following a public launch later this year. However, steep Windows 11 requirements have drawn some negative attention and reers wish to know wher ir processor supports Windows 11 or not. In this article, a complete list of Windows 11 supported processors, along with both Intel and AMD listing will be presented. 

Windows 11 Supported Processors 

list of Windows 11 supported processors is divided into two heings. first one will cover Windows 11 supported Intel processors and second one will cover Windows 11 supported AMD processors. Supported processors are chipsets that fulfil basic requirements for Windows 11. As stated in a previous report, Windows 11 requires a dual-core 1GHz processor along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of hard drive space. 

Windows 11 Supported Intel processors 

• Intel Atom 
• Intel Celeron 
• Intel Pentium
• Intel Xeon
• Intel Core 8th Gen 
• Intel Core 9th Gen 
• Intel Core 10th Gen (Comet Lake)
• Intel Core 10th Gen (Ice Lake)
• Intel Core 11th Gen (Rocket Lake)
• Intel Core 11th Gen (Tiger Lake)

Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors 

• AMD Ryzen 2000
• AMD Ryzen 3000
• AMD Ryzen 4000
• AMD Ryzen 5000

Or than Intel and AMD processors, Windows 11 will also run on Qualcomm Processors, which might be used in compact devices like Microsoft Surface. Qualcomm Snapdragon 850, 7c, 8c, 8cx (Gen1 and Gen2), and Microsoft SQ1 and SQ2 will support Windows 11. However, in order to run Windows 11, Qualcomm's chip shall also meet following Windows 11 requirements.
