It features the same LGA 1700 socket and the same Intel 7 process (which despite the name, is actually a 10nm process), but the chips themselves come with other improvements....

What qualifies a TV show or movie as being about time travel? Many shows and movies use a single time jump or time loops to set up the main plot—time travel isn’t necessarily the focus.
