AMD Ryzen 5 8500G Processor - 6 Core - 3.5GHz - 16MB Cache - AMD AM5

AMD Ryzen 5 8500G Processor arrives as a versatile desktop CPU from the AMD Ryzen 8000 Series, delivering balanced performance for mainstream users and creators.

This AMD Ryzen 5 8500G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base frequency of 3.5 GHz and a boost up to 5.0 GHz, offering responsive single-threaded performance and smooth multi-tasking for everyday workloads.

Built on a 4 nm process and featuring 16 MB of L3 cache, the 8500G combines energy-efficient design with strong processing capability, backed by a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 65 W and a configurable TDP-down of 45 W for flexible power envelopes.

The processor uses the AMD AM5 Socket and supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode with supported memory clock speeds up to 5200 MHz (and 3600 MHz), allowing faster system memory bandwidth for gaming, content creation, and productivity tasks.

An integrated AMD Radeon 740M graphics engine with a 2800 MHz base frequency provides capable on-board graphics for systems without a discrete GPU, making light gaming, media playback, and GPU-accelerated workloads possible out of the box.

Packaged in a boxed form factor and including a cooler, the Ryzen 5 8500G simplifies system assembly and is compatible with Windows 11/10 x64 and popular Linux distributions such as RHEL and Ubuntu.

Ideal use cases include home and office desktops, compact PCs where power/thermal limits matter, entry-level content creation rigs, and HTPCs that benefit from the integrated Radeon 740M graphics. PCIe 4.0 support ensures modern expansion options for NVMe storage and add-in devices.
