Architecture, performance and integrated graphics
The processor is built on the Zen 5 architecture and has 6 CPU cores. With multithreading (SMT) support, it offers a total of 12 threads. The processor's base clock speed is 3.9GHz, while its maximum boost frequency reaches up to 5.4GHz. The integrated graphics model is AMD Radeon Graphics. The integrated graphics chip has two cores and operates at a frequency of 2200MHz. The processor also supports USB Type-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output.
Memory and cache
The processor uses 480KB of L1 cache, 6MB of L2 cache, and 32MB of L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR5 system memory. The maximum supported memory is 192GB and the system memory subtype is UDIMM. The maximum memory speed is DDR5-5600 for 2×1R and 2×2R configurations, while for 4×1R and 4×2R it is DDR5-3600. ECC support is available but requires motherboard support.
Technology and overclocking
The default TDP is set at 65W. The manufacturing technology for the CPU cores is TSMC 4nm FinFET, while for the I/O die it is TSMC 6nm FinFET. The processor is unlocked for overclocking and supports AMD EXPO Memory Overclocking technology, Precision Boost Overdrive, and Curve Optimizer Voltage Offsets. AMD Ryzen Master support is also available.

Processor cores and threads
Processor cores work, to some extent, like individual processors and can handle computational tasks independently of each other. The more physical cores a processor has, the more tasks it can process simultaneously. Threads can be described as separate virtual cores, which all modern processors have. An eight-core processor typically has sixteen threads, meaning it can handle sixteen processes at the same time.
Processor frequency
The operating frequency indicates the speed of the processor. Generally, a processor with a higher frequency can execute instructions faster than one with a lower frequency. A higher frequency ensures snappier and faster responses in everyday computer use, such as launching applications, browsing the internet, or editing documents. It ranges from 1 to 5GHz. Some CPUs can temporarily increase their frequency under high load (Turbo Boost).
L2 and L3 cache
For a processor to work as quickly as possible, it needs fast storage where it can save temporary data. This is what the on-chip L2 and L3 caches are for. While these memories are significantly smaller than RAM, they are also faster. L2 and L3 are the first storage the processor interacts with, and generally, the bigger the better.
Processor socket
Before choosing a new processor, you should know which hardware connector (socket) your motherboard has for the processor. The processor and motherboard must have the same socket designation—this is the first step to a functional build. Another important factor is the type of RAM. You should know what type of RAM you have.
TDP (Thermal Design Power)
TDP (Thermal Design Power) is a processor parameter that indicates the amount of heat it produces under maximum load, while also suggesting its energy consumption. A lower TDP means the processor consumes less power and generates less heat, which is ideal for laptops or energy-efficient systems. Conversely, processors with a high TDP offer higher performance but require advanced cooling to prevent overheating.
Processor cooling
A processor, much like a graphics card, generates heat during operation that needs to be dissipated, and the processor itself needs cooling. Some chip packages already include a cooler, but if you want to be absolutely sure you can handle the processor's performance, you should get an external one. External CPU coolers come in various sizes and performance levels, and many support stylish RGB backlighting. You can get a classic air-cooled version or a modern liquid-cooled one.Specifications
