Description

Zen 3 cores and a large cache for gaming

AMD designed the Zen 3 architecture with gamers in mind, and 32 MB of L3 cache cuts waiting time when the processor needs data. Six cores and twelve threads also cope with streaming, photo editing and many open programs. PCI Express 4.0 support lets you use fast NVMe SSDs, and AMD StoreMI helps expand and speed up storage.

Who this processor is for

AM4 owners who want to swap an older Ryzen for a stronger one without replacing the motherboard or DDR4 memory. Also gaming PC builders who use a dedicated graphics card and choose their own cooler. A 65 W TDP keeps heat and power draw modest.
