I used 'cpu-x' to gather some information on my system.

'cpu-x' identified my CPU as:

Code Name:	Alder Lake-S (Core i7)
Model:		AlderLake-S GT1 graphics
Specification:	12th Gen Intel(R) Core i7-12700

Graphics:

AlderLake-S GT1

So it seems that my CPU/Graphiscs may not even be supported on FreeBSD
14.
