The processor features a 6-core, 12-thread design based on AMD’s first-generation Zen architecture, delivering strong multi-core performance for gaming, multitasking, and productivity.
Operates at a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and can boost up to 4.0GHz, with Extended Frequency Range (XFR) technology potentially pushing it to 4.1 GHz for enhanced performance.
Equipped with a generous 16MB L3 cache and 3MB L2 cache, enabling fast data access and reduced latency for demanding workloads.
Built on a 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, balancing strong performance with efficient power consumption.
Supports dual-channel DDR4 memory up to 2666MHz (maximum capacity 64GB) and has a PCIe 3.0 interface with 20 lanes, ensuring wide compatibility with modern desktop components.
Features unlocked multiplier for overclocking, allowing enthusiasts to push performance beyond standard boost frequencies with proper cooling and compatible motherboards.
Has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 95W, requiring adequate cooling solutions for optimal thermal management during high workloads.
Does not include integrated graphics, necessitating a discrete GPU for display output; compatible with the AM4 socket and supported by a broad range of 300-series motherboards.
