AMD Expands Ryzen 7, 5, and 3 Desktop Processor Offerings

0Share

AMD has made a significant expansion to its 5th and 4th generation Ryzen 7, 5, and 3 CPU models with the launch of six new desktop processors, most prominently with the announced launch date for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor, which is the first commercially available desktop CPU to feature AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology. Generally, the other announced CPUs are designed for budget-friendly builds that take full advantage of the 7nm Zen 3 and Zen 2 architectures to power demanding games and creative content applications. Each of the Ryzen 5 and 3 processors comes bundled with a Wraith Stealth cooler, which helps to maintain optimal temperatures to fine-tune and overclock their performance.  

First revealed at CES 2022, AMD’s Ryzen 7 5800X3D eight-core processor builds upward, using 3D V-Cache technology that’s usually reserved for high-end data centers to include 96MB of L3 cache while still fitting the AM4 socket. With a combined 100MB of L2 and L3 cache, select 1080p received a performance boost average of 5%. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D delivers 15% more gaming performance compared to processors without stacked cache technology. This enhanced processor will be available beginning April 20, 2022.

Other Zen 3 5th generation processors include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, which features eight cores and 16 threads, with 36MB of cache. It has a base clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a 4.6 GHz maximum boost speed. It is followed by the six-core, 12 thread Ryzen 5 5600, which has 35MB of cache with a 3.5 GHz base and 4.4 GHz boost speed. Both are excellent for quickly loading expansive 3D games and accelerating content creation with support for PCIe 4.0 compatible storage drives and graphics cards. Those who don’t have PCIe 4.0 devices may look to the 3.6 GHz Ryzen 5 5500, which has a maximum boost speed of 4.2 GHz with 19MB of cache and supports up to PCIe 3.0.

New 4th Zen 2 offerings include the 3.6 GHz AMD Ryzen 5 4500. This six-core, 12 thread processor has 11MB of cache and 4.1 GHz boost speed, making it ideal for mid-level gaming systems. For entry-level systems, servers, and other power-efficient systems, the 3.8 GHz Ryzen 3 4100 quad-core processor handles up to eight threads, featuring 6MB of cache and a maximum boost speed of 4 GHz.

All the new AMD Ryzen desktop processors support up to 3200 MHz DDR4 memory and are expected to become available starting April 4, 2022. They may also be installed into socket AM4-compatible motherboards, allowing users to upgrade faster processors as their needs grow.
