Forged from the finest silicon Higher speeds, more memory, & wider bandwidth than the previous generation. 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors with the 7nm “ Zen 2” core sets the standard for high performance: exclusive manufacturing technology, historic on-chip throughput, & revolutionary overall performance for gaming. From the beginning AMD’s 3rd Gen Ryzen™ processors were designed with this philosophy, to break expectations & set a new standard for high-performance gaming processors. That’s exactly what it does. New Zen 2 Architecture 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors are built using the world’s most advanced 7nm manufacturing technology. Paired with Wraith coolers, AMD Ryzen™ processors deliver game-winning performance while keeping your system astonishingly cool & quiet. Ryzen™ processors neural-net intelligence can adapt to your workload. That’s the advantage you gain when you own the world’s most advanced processor for gaming. Remove performance bottlenecks & accelerate your workflow 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors feature support for the world’s first PCIe 4.0 connectivity, to enable the most advanced motherboards, graphics, & storage technologies available. The new PCIe 4.0 standard DOUBLES the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 to up to 2GB/s per lane, or up to 32 GB/s on a x 16 slot, enabling new generations of high-performance graphics cards, networking devices, NVMe drives, ethernet cards & more. AMD Socket AM4 Compatibility AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series Desktop processors are compatible with all 500 Series motherboards out-of-the box, & are compatible with 400 Series & A320 motherboards when a compatible BIOS update has been installed. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for your motherboard to verify support for your processor model, & for guidance on the BIOS update procedure (s). Motherboards with packaging featuring the above logo are compatible without requiring a BIOS update. SSDs are fast, but expensive, & offer minimal capacity. Mechanical hard drives boast large capacity for a low price, but are much slower than an SSD. AMD Store MI technology “combines” these two types of storage into a single drive & automatically moves the data you access the most to the SSD
