• K: Unlocked multiplier for overclocking. This means that the CPU's clock speed can be increased beyond its factory settings, but it may void the warranty and may require additional cooling.
• F: No integrated graphics. This means that the CPU does not have a built-in graphics processing unit (GPU), so a dedicated graphics card is required.
• S: Power-efficient. This means that the CPU has a lower clock speed and power consumption than non-S models.
