AMD has been supporting the socket AM4 platform for the better part of a decade, giving its customers the opportunity to keep their systems up to date with upgrades to new processor models, which means you can keep your existing system on the cutting edge without having to buy a new motherboard or memory. And now, in 2024, we have four new socket AM4 processors to announce - all of them available starting January 31st, 2024.
The flagship of these new AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series processor models is the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, which offers 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock up to 4.1 GHz1. But the real magic comes from its huge 100MB of total cache, thanks to AMD-exclusive 3D V-Cache™ technology. This massive on-chip memory reduces effective latency so you get cutting-edge enthusiast game performance. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor is ideal for gamers and content creators who want a serious upgrade for their socket AM4 PC, or for those who just want to get into a reasonably-priced platform with incredible performance per dollar. The Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a suggested etail price of $249.
The Ryzen 7 5700 processor is also a great choice. It has the same 8-core/16-thread count as the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, but with 20MB of total cache. It is a capable high-performance processor with up to an impressive 4.6 GHz boost clock, suitable for gamers and content creators who want a processor that can handle multitasking and heavy workloads. The Ryzen 7 5700 processor has a suggested etail price of $175.
If you are looking for a mid-range processor that can still deliver impressive performance, combined with built-in Radeon™ graphics, you might want to check out the Ryzen 5 5600GT and the Ryzen 5 5500GT. These processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, 19MB of total cache and a boost clock of up to 4.6 GHz for the Ryzen 5 5600GT, and a boost clock of up to 4.4 GHz for the Ryzen 5 5500GT. The Ryzen 5 5600GT and the Ryzen 5 5500GT are perfect for gamers and content creators who want a balanced processor that can handle most tasks with ease, and can make use of built-in AMD Radeon graphics so they don’t have to buy a discrete graphics card for productivity or light HD gaming. The Ryzen 5 5600GT has a suggested etail price of $140, and the Ryzen 5 5500GT has a suggested etail price of $125.
The new AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors are a leap forward for PC enthusiasts who want to enjoy the best performance possible from the trusted socket AM4 platform, whether for an upgrade to an existing system, or for new low-cost, high-performance builds.
