Zen 5 architecture, with 8 cores & 16 threads, delivering +~16% IPC uplift and great power efficiency. Next gen 3D V-Cache Technology, 96MB L3 cache with better thermal performance vs. previous gen and allowing higher clock speeds, up to 5.2GHz! Strong generational uplift in Gaming (~+8%) and even better multi-threaded Creator performance vs. 7800X3D (~+15%). 4nm process node for even better power/efficiency. DDR5 6000 support (with OC for 8000+). Works with most existing AM5 compatible coolers & DDR5 DRAM (with or without EXPO technology – suggest to pair with EXPO DIMMs). Drop-in ready for proven Socket AM5 infrastructure (New X870E, X870 and existing X670/E, B650/E and A620-based motherboards, with BIOS updates).
