# Hardware Compliance

This is not a comprehensive list of compliant hardware, but rather a guide for what has been verified to work. [This list should include all current CPUs that will work](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/software-guard-extensions-processors.html) this list should include all working CPUs but we cannot guarantee it's always up to date. Also note, a future upgrade in 2025 will see smaller enclaves excluded from the network, which will exclude the E-21xx, E-22xx, and E-23xx lines.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CPU must support SGX via SPS.** CPUs that only support SGX via Intel ME will not work.
{% endhint %}

## Supported CPUs <a href="#cpus" id="cpus"></a>

The following are confirmed compliant Intel CPUs:

| Brand | Family                | Model                                                                        |
| ----- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Intel | XEON E-Series         | `E-23xxG`                                                                    |
|       | XEON D-1700           | `All-But bios Updates may be infrequent`                                     |
|       | XEON D-2700           | `All-But bios Updates may be infrequent`                                     |
|       | XEON D-1800           | `All-But bios Updates may be infrequent`                                     |
|       | XEON D-2800           | `All-But bios Updates may be infrequent`                                     |
|       | XEON MAX              | `All-But bios Updates may be infrequent`                                     |
|       | XEON 3rd Gen Scalable | `Supported but requires extra configuration for multi-socket configurations` |
|       | XEON 4th Gen Scalable | `Supported`                                                                  |
|       | XEON 5th Gen Scalable | `Supported`                                                                  |
|       | XEON 6th Gen Scalable | `Likely supported but yet to be confirmed`                                   |
| AMD   | \*NOT SUPPORTED\*     |                                                                              |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only Intel processors support SGX. AMD processors are \*NOT\* supported.
{% endhint %}

## Supported Motherboards

The distinguishing factors of these motherboards is not only that they support Intel SGX, but that they also support DCAP.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is not an exhaustive list of supported motherboards and may stop working if OEMs stop updating the security patches in a timely manner.
