Infobox template for hardware components (microprocessors, chipsets, controllers, expansion cards). Place the infobox as the very first line of the article with no blank lines above it; otherwise MediaWiki will create an empty paragraph that pushes content down.

Example skeleton โ€” supply only the fields you need (blank ones are hidden automatically):

{{Infobox computer hardware
