AMD Ryzen 5 Desktop CPU, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, Socket AM4

Looking for a cheap way to give an AM4 desktop a real performance boost? This AMD Ryzen™ 5 processor brings 6 cores and 12 threads, so it is a great deal for anyone upgrading without replacing the whole platform.

Speed where you need it

• 6 cores, 12 threads: handles multitasking, everyday work and gaming side by side.
• 3 GHz base, up to 4.4 GHz boost: extra headroom when demanding tasks kick in.
• Socket AM4: drops into compatible AM4 motherboards, so you can refresh an existing build.
• Tray version: supplied without a cooler, so you can pair it with the cooler you prefer or already own.

A good fit for budget-conscious builders, home office PCs and gaming upgrades. Remember to buy a separate cooler and to check your motherboard's AM4 compatibility before you order.
