By analyzing CPU release dates and deployment counts, organizations can identify aging hardware, prioritize refresh initiatives, and better understand the overall lifecycle health of their device fleet. ### By CPU Manufacturer This visualization displays the number of devices grouped by CPU manufacturer, including Intel, AMD, and other processor vendors. Devices are categorized based on processor age: - **Released \< 3 years ago** – Modern hardware currently within its expected lifecycle. - **Released 3–5 years ago** – Mid-life hardware that may require future refresh planning. - **Released \> 5 years ago** – Aging hardware that may be approaching replacement consideration. This view helps organizations understand the age profile of devices across different hardware manufacturers. ### CPU Age Distribution Provides an overall breakdown of deployed devices based on processor age. This visualization helps IT teams quickly identify: - The percentage of devices running modern hardware. - The prevalence of aging processors across the environment. - Potential hardware refresh or modernization requirements. - Areas where performance and supportability risks may exist. #### **All CPUs Table** ![](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-11-2026-08-54-59-4819-PM.png?width=670&height=349&name=image-png-Nov-11-2026-08-54-59-4819-PM.png) The All CPUs table provides a detailed inventory of discovered processor models and their associated device counts. ### Key Metrics **CPU Manufacturer** The processor manufacturer, such as Intel or AMD. **CPU** The specific processor model identified on managed devices. **Released** The official processor release date. **Age** The calculated age of the processor based on its release date. **Device Qty** The number of devices currently utilizing the processor model. This information allows organizations to understand which processor generations are most heavily deployed and where aging hardware may be concentrated. Filtering and Analysis Users can filter and sort CPU inventory data to: - Identify obsolete or aging processor models. - Locate devices using older hardware generations. - Support refresh planning initiatives. - Assess hardware supportability across the environment. - Prioritize hardware replacement projects based on device counts and processor age. Exporting Data The **CSV Export** option allows processor inventory and lifecycle data to be exported for additional analysis, budgeting exercises, infrastructure planning, and executive reporting. By providing a detailed view of processor age and deployment trends, this report helps IT teams make informed decisions regarding hardware lifecycle management and long-term infrastructure planning.   - [Getting Started](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Free Trial Onboarding](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#free-trial-onboarding) - [Start Your Subscription](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#start-your-subscription) - [Discovery Application Installation](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-application-installation) - [Discovery Appliance Setup](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-appliance-setup) - [Discovery Agent Deployment](https://support.block64.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#discovery-agent-deployment) - [Insights Reports](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#main-content) - [IT Asset Management](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#it-asset-management) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#security) - [Cloud & Infrastructure](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#cloud-infrastructure) - [Legacy Combine User Guide](https://support.block64.com/insights-reports?hsLang=en#legacy-combine-user-guide) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Discovery: Insights Portal](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-insights-portal) - [Insights Calculations](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#insights-calculations) - [Discovery: Block 64 Windows Application](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-block-64-windows-application) - [Discovery: BlockBox Appliance](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#discovery-blockbox-appliance) - [Block 64 Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery-agent) - [Documentation](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Insights: Integrations](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#insights-integrations) - [Privacy and Security](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#privacy-and-security) - [Block 64 API](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#block-64-api) - [Discovery: General Knowledge](https://support.block64.com/documentation?hsLang=en#discovery-general-knowledge) - [FAQs](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#security) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/faqs?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [New Features & Updates](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#new-features-updates) - [Combine](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine) - [Block 64 Discovery](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#block-64-discovery) - [Remote Discovery Agent](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#remote-discovery-agent) - [Combine API](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#combine-api) - [BlockBox Virtual Appliance](https://support.block64.com/new-features-updates?hsLang=en#blockbox-virtual-appliance) [![Logomark - dark](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logomark%20-%20dark.png?width=60&height=96&name=Logomark%20-%20dark.png "Logomark - dark")](http://block64.com) 300 Geary Ave, Toronto, ON M6H 2C5, Canada +1 800-875-5260 [www.block64.com](https://www.block64.com/)
