Shop terms explained

Processor (CPU): The processor runs general calculations and programs. Core count and clock speed alone cannot compare the performance of different models.
Graphics card (GPU): The GPU renders graphics and can accelerate suitable AI tasks. The model, graphics memory and software must suit the application.
Working memory (RAM): RAM holds data for running programs. It differs from permanent SSD storage and the dedicated memory of a graphics card.
Graphics memory (VRAM): This memory belongs to the GPU and holds graphics data or AI model parts. More VRAM provides space; speed also depends on the GPU and software.

SSD and storage: This is where the operating system, programs and files are stored. More GB or TB means more space, not necessarily more speed.
Power supply and watts: A power supply wattage specifies the power it can provide, not the constant consumption of the PC. Connections and compatibility must also match.
Refresh rate (Hz): Hz describes how often the screen refreshes each second. Game frame rates also depend on the PC, game and settings.
Resolution: Resolution describes the number of pixels. More pixels can show more detail but usually require more graphics performance in games.

Delivery information: Check the information for the selected variant. Delivery time may include sourcing or assembly; it does not necessarily mean the product is ready in our showroom.
Wishlist: Use the heart to save products for later. This does not reserve stock or place an order. Prices and availability may change.
Product comparison: Comparison shows the recorded product specifications side by side. Missing information does not mean a feature is absent. Comparing components does not confirm compatibility.
Product filters: Filters narrow the selection using recorded product attributes. Check the full specifications and selected variant on the product page.
