AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU - 8-core Socket AM4 3.8GHz Processor 100-100000063WOF The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor designed for responsive gaming, content creation and demanding everyday workloads. Built on AMD's Zen 3 architecture, it operates at a 3.8 GHz base clock and can boost up to 4.7 GHz, providing a balanced platform for customers building or upgrading a performance-focused Socket AM4 desktop PC. Eight Cores for Gaming and Multitasking Eight processor cores and 16 threads give the Ryzen 7 5800X the resources to handle modern games alongside background applications, streaming software and other multi-threaded workloads. Its 32 MB L3 cache and 4 MB L2 cache help keep frequently required data closer to the processor for efficient access. AMD Zen 3 Architecture The Ryzen 7 5800X is based on AMD's Zen 3 processor architecture and manufactured using a TSMC 7 nm FinFET process. It combines a 3.8 GHz base frequency with a maximum boost clock of up to 4.7 GHz, allowing the processor to adjust its operating speed according to the workload, cooling and available power. Socket AM4 Upgrade Platform Designed for the established Socket AM4 platform, the processor can be used with compatible AMD motherboards that provide the required chipset and BIOS support. Customers upgrading an existing AM4 computer should check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and install the required BIOS version before fitting the processor. DDR4 Memory and PCIe 4.0 The processor supports DDR4 system memory at speeds of up to 3200 MT/s. PCI Express 4.0 support provides a high-bandwidth connection for compatible graphics cards and NVMe storage when the processor is paired with a motherboard that also supports PCIe 4.0. Unlocked Performance Control The Ryzen 7 5800X is unlocked for overclocking and supports the AMD Ryzen Master utility. Performance tuning requires a suitable motherboard, capable power delivery and adequate cooling. Operating results vary between systems, and customers should follow AMD and motherboard manufacturer guidance when changing processor settings. Important Installation Information This 100-100000063WOF boxed model does not include a CPU cooler. AMD recommends a premium air cooler for optimal performance, although a suitable liquid cooling solution may also be used. The processor has no integrated graphics, so a compatible discrete graphics card is required for display output.
