Product Description
This AMD Ryzen 7 9700X desktop processor is in Good condition and has been checked for health, thermal stability, and reliable performance under heavy load.
Built on AMD’s advanced Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) utilizing a 4nm process node, the Ryzen 7 9700X features 8 cores and 16 threads. Operating at a 3.8 GHz base clock with a Max Boost frequency of up to 5.5 GHz, it delivers a massive Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) uplift over previous generations. It is engineered for high-framerate 1440p and 4K PC gaming, streaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking.
Designed for the modern Socket AM5 platform, this processor features native support for high-speed DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 lanes, offering maximum bandwidth for next-generation graphics cards and ultra-fast M.2 NVMe SSDs. With an efficient 65W default TDP (supports 105W cTDP mode), it provides top-tier performance while remaining easy to cool.
Key Features & System Requirements
- Zen 5 Microarchitecture: Delivers improved single-threaded responsiveness, efficiency gains, and AVX-512 instruction support for complex compute workloads.
- Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics: Includes basic RDNA 2 integrated graphics for display testing and desktop output without needing an immediate discrete GPU.
