AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Processor is equipped with 6 cores, 12 threads, and operates with a highly efficient TDP of 45-65W. It boasts a base clock of 3.9GHz and a max boost clock of 4.4GHz, along with 3MB of L2 cache and 16MB of L3 cache, all housed in an AM4 package with TSMC's 7nm FinFET technology. This processor supports PCIe 3.0 x8 and comes with the Wraith Spire thermal solution. For memory, it supports DDR4 speeds up to 3200MHz with two memory channels. It also features AMD StoreMI technology, which allows users to combine SSDs and traditional hard drives for faster load times, file management, and system responsiveness. This technology automatically pairs frequently used files with an SSD cache to deliver near-SSD speeds without manual intervention. Built on the advanced AMD "Zen 3" architecture, this processor offers significant improvements in performance and efficiency. With over 20 design upgrades, including wider execution resources and enhanced load/store bandwidth, the architecture delivers up to 19% more performance per MHz compared to the previous generation. The unified complex design brings 8 cores and 32MB of L3 cache into one group, reducing latency and improving performance, especially for latency-sensitive tasks like gaming.
