High-end Performance for Gamers and Creators AMD. Ryzen 5000XT Series processors boost your rig to a new level of performance. Power up and let the dominance begin with the AMD Ryzen 5000XT Series processors, built to bring home the victory.
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.

Best Zen3 Upgrade of the AM4 CPUs
The AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT 16-core 32-thread 3.3/4.8 Ghz AM4 CPU is the best Zen 3 CPU for the am4 CPUs available at BestBuy. I have an AM4 motherboard with Windows Pro assigned to it so I don't want to upgrade to AM5 just yet, so this CPU saved me $3000-$4000 on making a budget AM5 pc. This CPU replaced my AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, 12-Core 24 Thread Zen2 AM4 CPU, I don't remember the rest of the specs, it was a bottleneck in my PC build so this was the last piece of my upgrade.

Amazing buy for high fps gaming
Excellent cpu. Swapped from Intel and haven’t looked back. Genuinely one of the best cpus I’ve had. Running this with a 5060 on low gets me 300-400 fps in most standard titles / comp shooters.
