Intel CPUs Compatible with Windows 11
Notably, Microsoft has not listed 7th-Generation Intel Core processors and lower in the official list of CPUs that support Windows 11. That means 8th-Gen Intel Core CPUs (released in 2018) or above will get the Windows 11 update. However, it is likely that the company will relax the CPU requirements ahead of the release. For what it’s worth, here is a list of Intel CPUs that will officially support Windows 11:
AMD CPUs Compatible with Windows 11
Windows 11 is compatible with AMD processors, including Athlon, EPYC, and the Ryzen series. The next-gen Windows update will be available for Ryzen CPUs that are built on Zen+ architecture or above. That means all AMD processors launched after 2018 will receive the Windows 11 update. So if you are in Team Red, here are the AMD processors that support Windows 11:
Qualcomm CPUs Compatible with Windows 11
And if you are using a Windows ARM PC with a Snapdragon chip under the hood, here are the Qualcomm chipsets that will officially get Windows 11:
