AMD unveils new OEM Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 processors
AMD has rolled out new OEM-exclusive Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 processors for pre-built PCs. They offer a balance of accessible performance and overclocking potential.
Don't expect adequate availability for AMD Zen 3 desktop processors right now. Ryzen 5000 chips are either completely absent from most store shelves or their prices are several times inflated. This severely hinders purchasing power and largely deters the vast majority of users from the 'red giant's' products.
That said, AMD is still trying to solve this problem, albeit in a somewhat peculiar way.
Yesterday, AMD officially announced the release of new Ryzen 5000 OEM desktop processors: the Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800. These new chips are exclusively for pre-built systems and are designed to provide excellent performance, availability, and out-of-the-box readiness.
The Ryzen 9 5900 OEM processor features 12 cores and 24 threads. It has a base clock speed of 3000MHz and a boost clock speed of 4700MHz. The chip includes a hefty 64MB of L3 cache, 6MB of L2 cache, and a TDP of 65W.
The other chip introduced, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 OEM, comes with 8 cores and 16 threads, sporting a 3400MHz base clock and a 4600MHz boost clock. This CPU features 32MB of L3 cache, 4MB of L2 cache, and its TDP is set at 65W.
Processor | Cores/Threads | Base Clock | Max Boost Clock | Cache (L2+L3) | PCIe Lanes (Gen 4 CPU+PCH) | TDP | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | 16/32 | 3.4 GHz | 4.9 GHz | 72 MB | 24 + 16 | 105W | $799 |
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | 12/24 | 3.7 GHz | 4.8 GHz | 70 MB | 24 + 16 | 105W | $549 |
AMD Ryzen 9 5900 | 12/24 | 3.0 GHz | 4.7 GHz | 64 MB | 24 + 16 | 65W | $499? |
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | 8/16 | 3.8 GHz | 4.7 GHz | 36 MB | 24 + 16 | 105W | $449 |
AMD Ryzen 7 5800 | 8/16 | 3.4 GHz | 4.6 GHz | 32 MB | 24 + 16 | 65W | $399? |
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | 6/12 | 3.7 GHz | 4.6 GHz | 35 MB | 24 + 16 | 65W | $299 |
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 | 6/12 | TBA | TBA | 32 MB | 24 + 16 | 65W | $219? |
As for availability, several OEMs, including Alienware, have already begun incorporating these new chips into their latest branded desktop systems:
⤢ ВІДКРИТИCompared to systems built with their higher-tier counterparts, a Ryzen 7 5800-based PC could save you at least $150 compared to a Ryzen 7 5800X configuration, while the Ryzen 9 5900 comes in a full $300 cheaper than a Ryzen 9 5900X setup.
Beyond pricing, rumors suggest that these new OEM chips are produced from more successful silicon dies than their higher-tier counterparts. Limited feedback from early adopters of these new parts also seems to support this claim.
One of the first customers to get their hands on a new Alienware Ryzen 7 5800 has shared their impressions on Reddit
⤢ ВІДКРИТИThe Ryzen 7 5800 chip he got was an absolute gem. Using Clock Tuner For Ryzen (CTR), this specific chip managed to hit an impressive 4.4 GHz at just 1.125V. For a current-gen CPU, that's truly an astonishing result!
Should this overclocking potential hold up, expect the Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 chips to quickly dominate the top spots in HWBot's 8- and 12-core leaderboards.
