AMD RYZEN 7 5800X3D | 8 CORES / 16 THREADS | 3.4GHZ BASE, UP TO 4.5GHZ BOOST |96MB L3 (3D V-CACHE) | SOCKET AM4 | DDR4 | PCIE 4.0QUICK SPECS * Game at the top of the AM4 platform with AMD's 3D V-Cache technology * Power through with 8 Zen 3 cores and 16 threads * Boost up to 4.5 GHz when your games and apps demand it * Tap into a massive 96MB of L3 cache for higher frame rates * Drop straight into existing AM4 boards with DDR4 and PCIe 4.0THE ULTIMATE AM4 GAMING PROCESSORThe AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the ultimate gaming processor for the DDR4 platform,and it's built around AMD's game-changing 3D V-Cache technology. By stacking ahuge 96MB of L3 cache onto its 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 design, it feeds the CPUmore game data closer to the cores delivering higher frame rates in the titlesthat matter to gamers across South Africa, without needing a brand-new platform.ZEN 3 PERFORMANCE, READY TO BOOSTBuilt on the proven Zen 3 architecture, the 5800X3D runs at a 3.4 GHz base clockand boosts up to 4.5 GHz with Precision Boost 2, so it stays responsive whetheryou're gaming, streaming or tackling everyday productivity. With 8 cores andSimultaneous Multithreading (SMT) for 16 threads, plus a 512KB L1 / 4MB L2 cachehierarchy, it has the muscle for serious multitasking as well as high-refreshgaming.A SMART, EASY UPGRADE FOR AM4 BUILDSOne of the 5800X3D's biggest strengths is its socket AM4 compatibility. It workswith X570, X470, B550, B450 and A520 chipsets, making it a superb drop-inupgrade for existing AM4 systems often with just a BIOS update. It supportsdual-channel DDR4 up to 128GB (DDR4-3200), PCIe® 4.0, and even ECC memory withcompatible motherboards, so you get modern connectivity without the cost of afull platform change.BUILT FOR MODERN GAMING AND COOL OPERATIONSupporting AMD 3D V-Cache, Windows® 11 gaming and AMD Ryzen VR-Ready Premium,the 5800X3D is engineered for today's most demanding experiences. It'smanufactured on TSMC's 7nm process with a 105W default TDP and a 90°C maximumoperating temperature. No cooler is included in the box, and AMD recommends aliquid cooler for optimal performance so pair it with a capable AIO to keep itrunning at its best.FEATURES: * AMD 3D V-Cache technology with a massive 96MB L3 cache for higher gaming frame rates * 8 Zen 3 cores and 16 threads (Simultaneous Multithreading) * 3.4 GHz base clock, boosting up to 4.5 GHz with Precision Boost 2 * Socket AM4 compatibility with X570, X470, B550, B450 and A520 chipsets * Dual-channel DDR4 support up to 128GB (DDR4-3200), with ECC support on compatible boards * PCIe® 4.0 connectivity with NVMe boot and RAID 0/1/10 support * Supports Windows® 11 Gaming and AMD Ryzen VR-Ready Premium * Built on TSMC 7nm FinFET process technology * Unlocked for tuning, with a broad set of supported instruction extensions * Cooler not included; liquid cooler recommended for optimal performanceSPECIFICATIONS: * Name: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D * Family: Ryzen 7 (Ryzen 5000 Series) * Processor Architecture: Zen 3 * Former Codename: Vermeer * CPU Socket: AM4 * # of CPU Cores: 8 * # of Threads: 16 * Multithreading (SMT): Yes * Base Clock: 3.4 GHz * Max.
