AMD Ryzen 5 4500 | 3.6Ghz up to 4.1GHz | 6-Cores 12-Threads | Desktop Processor | AM4 Socket | Boxed CPU

It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Zen 2 (Renoir) architecture with Socket AM4. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Ryzen 5 4500 has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.1 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the Ryzen 5 4500 on a 7 nm production node using 9,800 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Ryzen 5 4500, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
