Expert Features

• 12-Core / 24-Thread Zen 4 Power : Packs 12 Zen 4 CPU cores with simultaneous multithreading for 24 threads, giving gamers, streamers, creators, and heavy multitaskers serious desktop muscle.
• Up To 5.6GHz Boost : Reaches up to 5.6GHz through AMD Precision Boost 2, backed by a strong 4.7GHz base clock—this CPU did not come to your AM5 build to chill.
• Unlocked for Overclocking : Fully unlocked and compatible with AMD Ryzen Master, Precision Boost Overdrive, and Curve Optimizer voltage offsets for enthusiasts who want deeper performance tuning.
• Socket AM5 Platform : Designed for AMD Socket AM5 motherboards and officially supports A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E, B840, B850, X870, and X870E chipsets.
• DDR5 Memory Support : Uses dual-channel DDR5 UDIMM memory with support for up to 128GB; official maximum speed reaches DDR5-5200 with supported two-DIMM configurations.
• AMD EXPO Support : Supports AMD EXPO memory-overclocking technology, letting compatible DDR5 memory kits use optimized profiles on supported AM5 motherboards.
• PCIe 5.0 Connectivity : Provides PCI Express 5.0 connectivity with 28 native PCIe lanes and 24 usable lanes, opening the door for modern high-bandwidth GPUs and storage depending on motherboard implementation.
• NVMe Boot & RAID Support : Native platform capabilities include NVMe boot plus RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 support for compatible storage configurations.
• 76MB L2 + L3 Cache : Combines 12MB L2 cache with 64MB L3 cache for 76MB of L2+L3 cache, helping keep frequently accessed game and workload data close to the cores.
• Integrated Radeon Graphics : Includes AMD Radeon Graphics with 2 graphics cores operating at 2200MHz, useful for display output and basic graphics without requiring a discrete GPU for every build. Physical video outputs depend on the motherboard.
• 5nm CPU Technology : Zen 4 CPU compute dies use TSMC 5nm FinFET technology, paired with a TSMC 6nm I/O die.
• 170W Enthusiast TDP : Rated at a 170W default TDP and designed for serious cooling; AMD specifically recommends a liquid cooler for optimal performance.
• ECC Capability : Supports ECC memory functionality when the motherboard also provides the required ECC support.
• AVX-512 Support : Supports modern instruction extensions including AVX, AVX2, AVX-512, AES, AMD-V, FMA3, SHA, SSE families, and x86-64.
• Tray Product ID : This exact tray processor is identified by AMD as 100-000000589.
• No Cooler Included : AMD lists no included thermal solution for the Ryzen 9 7900X, so pair it with a properly capable AM5 cooling solution.
