CES 2022: The Next Wave of AMD Innovation

AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors: Off-the-Charts Performance

AMD is introducing the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D, the world’s fastest desktop gaming processor.3 The first processor to feature 3D-stacked L3 cache via AMD 3D V-Cache™ Technology, the 5800X3D enables an average of 15% better 1080p gaming performance than the Ryzen™ 9 5900X .

This leap in performance is thanks to cutting-edge 3D stacking technology, 8 cores, and boost clocks of up to 4.5GHz, as well as an unmatched 96MB of L3 cache for wildly fast memory accesses. 5 It’s a gaming desktop processor with the raw performance to dominate the latest titles with a suite of technology innovations that establish it as the go-to processor for gamers.

Those looking to upgrade will appreciate the Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D processor’s drop-in-ready functionality for the AM4 platform on AMD 400 and 500 Series chipsets. Partners and customers can expect general availability for the AMD Ryzen™ 75800X3D processor in the spring of this year.

What Comes Next for AMD Ryzen™ Processors

It’s a pleasure to finally announce that the next-generation AMD Ryzen™ Desktop processor will be based on “Zen 4” and AMD Socket AM5 technologies, with availability expected in the second half of 2022.

The next-gen Ryzen™ processor with “Zen 4” transitions to a 1718-pin LGA socket backward compatible with current Socket AM4 coolers. The new AMD Socket AM5 platform also offers PCIe® Gen 5 and DDR5 support, so gamers looking ahead to what’s next can look to AMD “Zen 4” as a major upgrade.
