Key strengths
8 Zen 3 cores and 16 threads with up to 4.7 GHz boost and 32 MB of L3 cache, unlocked for overclocking with Ryzen Master support.
Before you buy
With a 105 W default TDP, AMD recommends a premium air cooler for optimal performance, an extra cost since no cooler is included.
No cooler or integrated graphics, so budget for both a cooler and a graphics card. It needs an AM4 motherboard with a compatible BIOS and DDR4 memory (rated up to 3200 MT/s).
