AMD Ryzen 5 5500F 3.0 GHz 19 MB, AM4 - processor, boxed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F is a desktop processor designed for the AM4 socket. Built on a 7 nm manufacturing process using the Zen 3 architecture, it has 6 cores and 12 threads for multitasking and general desktop workloads. It runs at a 3.0 GHz base frequency and can boost up to 4.4 GHz when more performance is needed. The processor is intended for productivity and gaming builds that include a dedicated graphics card. A separate video card is required for display output because this model has no integrated graphics.

Memory support includes dual-channel DDR4-SDRAM with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The processor provides PCI Express 4.0 support for faster data transfer with compatible storage drives and graphics cards. A combined 19 MB of L2 and L3 cache helps reduce latency for frequently accessed data. Thermal design power is rated at 65 W, keeping power consumption and heat output moderate. This boxed version includes an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler, so no additional purchase is required for cooling.
