The world’s most advanced processor architecture for gamers and content creators, the possibilities are endless. Whether you are playing the latest games, designing the next skyscraper, or crunching scientific data, you need a powerful processor that can handle it all—and more. Hands down, the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series desktop processors set the bar for gamers and artists alike.


AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series processors power the next generation of demanding games, providing one of a kind immersive experiences and dominate any multithreaded task like 3D and video rendering, and software compiling.

These processors drop-in ready on 500 series motherboards with a simple BIOS update, you can easily tweak and tune your processor with Ryzen™ Master and AMD StoreMI. We now know of four AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs: the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and Ryzen 5 5600X.

Starting at the top, we have the new Ryzen 9 5950X, which has 16 cores and 32 threads. This new chip is capable of 3.4GHz base clock and 4.9GHz boost clock. AMD claims the 5950X has the highest single and multi-threaded performance of any mainstream desktop CPU. The CPU also has a massive 64MB of L3 cache spread across its two chiplets. It has a TDP of 105W. The 5950X is priced at $799 and replaces the previous 3950X, which was priced at $749. It will compete with the 18-core Intel Core i9-10980XE.

Next is the Ryzen 9 5900X, which has 12 cores and 24 threads. The 5900X is capable of 3.7GHz base clock and 4.8GHz boost clock. AMD claims this makes it the best gaming CPU on the market. The 5900X also has 64MB of L3 cache spread across two chiplets and a TDP of 105W. The 5900X is priced at $549 and replaces the $499 3900X. It will compete with the 10-core Intel Core i9-10900K.

Coming down the price ladder, we have the Ryzen 7 5800X, which has 8 cores and 16 threads. The 5800X can do 3.8GHz as base clock and 4.7GHz as boost clock. It is a single chiplet design, with all eight cores and the full 32MB cache on the single CCX. The 5800X also has a 105W TDP. The 5800X is priced at $449 and replaces the $399 3800X. It will compete with the 8-core Intel Core i7-10700K.

Finally, there's the Ryzen 5 5600X, which has 6 cores and 12 threads. It has a base clock of 3.7GHz and a boost clock of 4.6GHz. It also has 32MB of L3 cache on its single chiplet but with a reduced TDP of 65W. The 5600X is the only one out of this bunch that will come with a stock cooler in the box. The Ryzen 5 5600X is priced at $299 and will replace the $249 3600X. It will compete with the 6-core Intel Core i5-10600K.


On October 8, 2020, Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of Advanced Micro Devices announced the brand new Ryzen 5000 series based on Zen 3 architecture. AMD Ryzen 5000 processors will be available to buy from November 5, 2020 worldwide.
