- Key Specs
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (PGA 1331) (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- PCI Express Version: PCI Express 4.0
- CPU Base Clock Frequency: 3.3 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The average rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks under normal operating conditions as asserted by the manufacturer.)
- CPU Boost Clock Frequency: 4.8 gigahertz (Actual central processing unit (CPU) speed may vary by device configuration and design. The maximum rate at which the processor is able to execute tasks, typically only used for a short period of time as needed. This rate may temporarily boost the processor's performance, but may result in overheating, shutdown, or damage to equipment if sustained.)
- Number of CPU Cores: 16-core (A core, or "brain" of a CPU, allows it to receive and execute instructions. Each core can work independently or together to perform parallel operations.)
- Number of CPU Threads: 32 (Generally, the more threads, the faster and more responsive the operating system.)
- Unlocked Processor: true
- Memory Type Supported: DDR4
- L1 Cache: 1 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)
- L2 Cache: 8 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)
- L3 Cache: 64 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

- Number of CPU Threads: 32 (Generally, the more threads, the faster and more responsive the operating system.)
- Unlocked Processor: true
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- Maximum Memory Supported: 128 gigabytes
- Memory Type Supported: DDR4
- Number of Memory Channels Supported: 2
- Cache Level: L1, L2, L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)
- L1 Cache: 1 megabytes (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

Q: Does the processor have integrated graphics?
A: This processor does not have integrated graphics.
Q: What is the processor's warranty?
A: The manufacturer's warranty for parts is three years.
Q: How many cores does the processor have?
A: The processor has 16 cores.
Q: What is the maximum memory supported?
A: The maximum memory supported is 128 gigabytes.
Q: What is the base clock frequency of the processor?
A: The CPU base clock frequency is 3.3 gigahertz.
Q: Will this go on an Asus Prime B450M A?
A: It will fit into the AM4 socket of your Prime B450M A(needs a bios update to recognize), but that motherboard doesn’t have adequate VRM to power it under load, and it will get super hot. I would recommend moving up to a B550 or X570 with robust VRM/heatsinks, or go with another CPU instead.
Q: Will this processor work on MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MAX WIFI motherboard which only has AM4 Socket?
A: Yes as long as you have latest bios.
A: Not so much for maximum GHz but you can better iptimize it with cooler temperaturs by using PBO and single core negative curve settings. Google for optimal bios settings.
