cpulist is a template for maintaining lists of microprocessors with separate content and markup.
As of 2024, usage of this template is falling out of favour, due to lack of updates and maintenance, and issues like high overhead (resulting in excessive post-expand include size), lack of customisability (e.g. enabling/disabling columns), difficulty of understanding template code, and inefficiency in data presentation (e.g. many cells with same data in them which could be merged to improve readability).
As a simple example,
{{cpulist|nehalem|head}}
{{cpulist|nehalem|gainestown|model=Xeon E5502
|l3=4|qpi=4.8|mult=14|memspeed=800|vmin=0.75|vmax=1.35|tdp=80|date=March 30, 2009|price=$188|links=1
|sspec1=SLBEZ|step1=D0|part1=AT80602000804AA}}
{{cpulist|nehalem|end}}
results in a table like
| Model | sSpec number |
Clock rate | Turbo | Cores | L2 cache |
L3 cache |
I/O bus | Mult. | Memory | Voltage | TDP | Socket | Release date | Part number(s) |
Release price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xeon E5502 |

1.87 GHz | — | 4 | 4 × 256 KB | 4 MB | 2 × 4.8 GT/s QPI | 14× | 3 × DDR3-800 | 0.75–1.35 V | 80 W

Here is the list of cpulist sub-templates:
Template arguments
editThe first argument to the cpulist template, nehalem in the example, defines the layout of the table. Currently, valid arguments here are
- lake-e For lists of the (Skylake-SP/F/W/X and Kaby Lake-X) generation of processors, including fields for burst frequency
- skylake For lists of the Skylake, Kabylake, Coffeelake, etc generation of processors, including GPU field
- silvermont For lists of the latest (Silvermont/Airmont) generation of low-power processors, including fields for sdp and burst frequency
- haswell: For lists of the latest (Haswell/Broadwell) generation of processors, showing only the fields that are known to date
- bridge-e: For lists of the previous (Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge) generation of processors, showing only the fields that are known to date
- bridge: For lists of the previous (Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge) generation of processors, showing only the fields that are known to date
- sandybridge: For lists of the previous Sandy Bridge processors, currently same format as bridge
- nehalem: For lists of Intel's previous (Nehalem/Westmere) generation of processors, including fields for 'Turbo' mode, L3 cache and Memory Controller
- nehgfx: like nehalem, but for chips with integrated graphics capability
- atom: For lists of low-end Atom processors, currently same format as core
- atomx3: For lists of Atom processors
- atomgfx: For lists of Atom processors with integrated graphics
- core: For lists of Intel's previous generation of processors
- p6: For lists of Intel's p6 generation of processors
- p5: For lists of Intel's p5 generation of processors
The second argument is the type of processor, defining default contents for many fields that are identical throughout a series of processors. This argument is optional, valid arguments are currently:
