Featuring up to 6 cores and 12 threads courtesy of SMT technology Ryzen 5 CPUs deliver compelling performance in multithreaded applications such as video encoding and lightly threaded software such as games as well. As long as you have a compatible motherboard and sufficient cooling you can further boost the performance of these processors by overclocking too.

These CPUs are compatible with 600-series Socket AM5 motherboards.

The high-end Ryzen 7 models can reach up to 5GHz, with up to 8 cores and up to 16 threads. They require an AMD 600-series chipset motherboard and offer features such as DDR5 support up to 5,200MHz and 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes that can be used for GPUs and NVMe SSDs.

They also include advanced overclocking tools such as Precision Boost Overdrive and EXPO memory, but don't have integrated graphics so you'll need to use a discrete graphics card.
