Description

More Cache, Lower Latency, Higher Frame Rates

8 cores / 16 threads handle gaming and background tasks simultaneously without bottlenecking either
4.7 GHz base clock, boosting to 5.2 GHz keeps single-threaded workloads snappy and responsive
96 MB total cache courtesy of AMD 3D V-Cache™ keeps critical game data closer to the CPU, cutting latency
Socket AM5 (SAM5) ensures compatibility with current-generation AM5 motherboards
120 W TDP — a capable aftermarket cooler is recommended as none is included in the box

An ideal pick for dedicated PC gamers and enthusiast builders who want top-tier 1080p and 1440p gaming performance from an AM5 platform, as well as streamers and content creators who need reliable multi-threaded throughput alongside strong gaming capability.
