Technology glossary
AMD’s 8-core Zen 5 desktop processor with second-generation stacked 3D V-Cache.
AMD lists a 7 November 2024 launch; it has 8 cores, 16 threads, a 4.7 GHz base and up to 5.2 GHz boost, 8 MB L2 and 96 MB L3 cache. Default TDP is 120 W on socket AM5. The cores are made on TSMC 4 nm and the I/O die on 6 nm.
3D V-Cache stacks part of the L3 cache vertically on the cores to cut latency, raising frame rates in cache-sensitive games. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5: AMD specifies DDR5-5600 with two modules and DDR5-3600 with four. The chip is unlocked for overclocking.
