4 Things to Know About the HP EliteDesk 800 G9 Mini’s CPU Support

  1. Only 13th Gen Intel processors work The HP EliteDesk 800 G9 Mini supports 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs (Raptor Lake) on LGA 1700 — i3, i5, i7, and i9 at 35W or 65W TDP. It does not support 12th Gen or earlier chips.

  2. No backward compatibility with 12th Gen Unlike most LGA 1700 systems, HP locked this model to 13th Gen only. Older Alder Lake CPUs will not boot.

  3. Budget builds require a Raptor Lake chip If you are sourcing a used processor to save money, make sure it is Raptor Lake. A 12th Gen chip is a waste of money here.

  4. TDP options are limited to 35W or 65W The mini supports only these two power levels. Higher-TDP desktop CPUs are not compatible.
