Does Windows 7 have a requirement for a computer CPU?

In computer hardware, the development of the CPU has been very fast, and for ordinary applications, the CPU requirements are not high. The same is true for Windows systems, and we don't need a particularly powerful CPU to run Windows. What is really required for the CPU is the programs and applications that run on Windows.

According to Microsoft's official statement, Windows can run on CPUs that require at least 1G of the main frequency. At present, mainstream CPU products in the market must exceed this demand, not a problem. But if you want to do high-energy work such as video compression conversion on WIndows7, the CPU needs are very high, otherwise your machine will be completely paralyzed when converting video.

At the same time, Microsoft also said that Windows 7 will be able to use the CPU for 3D acceleration, so that CPU resources are not wasted. Also, if you want to run the XP mode virtual machine program on Windows 7, your CPU must support virtualization technology.
