TPM Compatibility for Xeon X3450 Processor
TPM Compatibility for Xeon X3450 Processor
The x3450 doesn't support TPM 1.2 or 2.0. It's a bit outdated and doesn't have TPM capabilities. Good luck with your Windows 11 upgrade plans!
I know it hasn't any tpm connector, but i am not sure if it can support tpm via the cpu
As previously mentioned by you and Levent, it isn't true. This isn't related to Windows 11 at all. It hasn't even reached an official beta version. It's likely they'll drop it as a necessity since the leaked version can run on systems without TPM—just with some workarounds. For now, stay calm and wait. Regardless, if it fails, 10 years from now will have passed, and by then you probably won't be using this anymore, as the technology is nearly 15 years old.
It's a solid budget CPU choice, but if you're concerned about W11 compatibility, there are solutions for the TPM issue. Once fixed, sticking with W10 or moving to Linux would be better options. A 4GHz processor paired with an RX 470 remains a good value for gaming, so upgrading isn't necessary unless you prefer Linux.
