AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) introduced the highly anticipated AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processor lineup powered by the new “Zen 3” architecture.

Offering up to 16 cores, 32 threads and 72 MB of cache in the top-of-the-line AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors dominate in heavily threaded workloads¹ and power efficiency², while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor offers up to a 26% generational uplift in gaming performance³.

With extensive improvements throughout the core including a unified 8-core complex with direct access to 32MB L3 cache, the new AMD “Zen 3” core architecture delivers a 19% generational increase in instructions per cycle (IPC)⁴, the largest since the introduction of “Zen” processors in 2017.

“Our commitment with each generation of our Ryzen processors has been to build the best PC processors in the world. The new AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors extend our leadership from IPC⁴, power efficiency2 to single-core⁵, multi-core performance¹ and gaming⁶,”

said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, client business unit, AMD.

“Today, we are extremely proud to deliver what our community and customers have come to expect from Ryzen processors – dominant multi-core¹ and single-core performance⁵ and true gaming leadership6 - all within a broad ecosystem of motherboards and chipsets that are drop-in ready for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors.”

Featuring a remarkable 19% IPC increase⁴ over the prior generation in PC workloads, the “Zen 3” architecture pushes gaming and content creation performance leadership⁶ to a new level. “Zen 3” architecture reduces latency from accelerated core and cache communication and doubles the directly accessible L3 cache per core while delivering up to 2.8X more performance-per-watt versus the competition².

The top of the line 16 core AMD Ryzen 9 5950X offers:

• The highest single-thread performance of any desktop gaming processor5
• The most multi-core performance of any desktop gaming processor and any desktop processor in a mainstream CPU socket¹

The 12 core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X offers the best gaming experience by:

• Average of 7% faster in 1080p gaming across select game titles than the competition⁷
• Average of 26% faster in 1080p gaming across select titles generationally⁸

AMD 500 series motherboards are ready for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processors with a simple BIOS update. This broad ecosystem support and readiness includes over 100 AMD 500 series motherboards from all major motherboard manufacturers.
