Most modern CPUs (post-2011) support AVX, but it is generally absent in low-power or budget-oriented processors, particularly older Intel Pentium, Celeron, and Atom-based chips. Specifically, Intel Celeron and Pentium models prior to the 2020 Tiger Lake generation typically lack AVX. +### Storage + +Storage is an important consideration when planning a new installation.

Performance might be tight, especially with higher resolution streams or numerous detections. - **Minimum for Enrichments: 8GB RAM**: If you plan to utilize Frigate's enrichment features (e.g., facial recognition, license plate recognition, or other AI models that run alongside standard object detection), 8GB of RAM should be considered the minimum. Enrichments require additional memory to load and process their respective models and data. -- **Recommended: 16GB RAM**: For most users, especially those with many cameras (8+) or who plan to heavily leverage enrichments, 16GB of RAM is highly recommended.
