AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core 3.7 GHz Socket AM4 105W desktop processor

Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core AM4 Processor

This desktop processor delivers 12 cores and 24 threads at a 3.7 GHz base frequency for demanding workloads. The Zen 3 architecture on 7 nm process technology provides 64 MB L3 cache and 6 MB L2 cache. It fits Socket AM4 motherboards with a 105 W thermal design power. Windows 11 is supported for modern operating system compatibility.

Ideal For Multi-Threaded Workloads And Gaming

Content creators and enthusiasts benefit from the high core count and large cache for rendering, encoding and compilation tasks. Gamers gain strong single-thread performance with PCIe 4.0 support for current graphics cards. Users needing integrated graphics or a bundled cooler must select a different processor. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will not utilise the full interface bandwidth.

Processor Only Package Requires Separate Cooling

The box contains the CPU without a stock cooler, so a compatible aftermarket solution must be sourced. Memory support is officially rated for DDR4 3200 speeds to match the memory controller specification. PCIe 4.0 lanes enable faster storage and GPU throughput when paired with a 5000-series chipset motherboard. No additional software or accessories are included in the package.
