Installing and updating your PC’s drivers is important. Graphics drivers, motherboard drivers, add-in-card drivers, but what about CPU drivers? Technically, CPUs do not require drivers, but there are some exceptions, and there are some situations where you may even want to update the drives that affect your CPU’s performance.
Processors that have onboard graphics utilize drivers to render your desktop and any games you play. Intel’s latest 12th generation of CPUs features onboard graphics as long as they don’t have an “F” designation at the end of the model name. For example, there are two Core i9 CPUs, i9-12900KF and the i9-12900K, but the difference here is the K model features onboard graphics whereas the KF model does not.
For Intel users, this is a bit more confusing because even the highest-end of CPUs offer onboard graphics, like the Intel Core i9-12900K, which features Intel UHD Graphics 770. Though since this is almost always paired with a dedicated graphics card, again, it’s not something you need to really concern yourself with.
