AMD Ryzen 9 9900X Processor - Zen 5 Architecture Performance

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X delivers high-performance computing with 12 cores and 24 threads built on the advanced Zen 5 architecture. Featuring a 4.4GHz base clock that boosts up to 5.6GHz, this AM5 socket processor is engineered for gaming, content creation, and multi-threaded workloads.

Zen 5 Core Technology

Built on TSMC's 4nm FinFET process with a 6nm I/O die, the 9900X offers significant performance improvements over previous generations. The processor includes 76MB of total cache (960KB L1, 12MB L2, and 64MB L3) for faster data access and improved application responsiveness. With a 120W TDP, it balances power efficiency with processing capability.

DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 Ready

The Ryzen 9 9900X supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 192GB, with speeds reaching DDR5-5600 for 1R and 2R configurations. AMD EXPO technology enables one-touch memory overclocking for enhanced performance. The processor provides 28 total PCIe lanes (24 usable), with PCIe 5.0 support for next-generation graphics cards and NVMe storage.

Integrated Radeon Graphics

Equipped with AMD Radeon Graphics featuring 2 cores running at 2200MHz, the processor includes basic display capabilities with USB Type-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode support. This allows for system troubleshooting and light computing tasks without a dedicated graphics card.

AM5 Platform Advantages

The AM5 socket ensures long-term upgradability and compatibility with X870E, X870, X670E, X670, B650E, and B650 chipset motherboards. Each chipset offers additional PCIe Gen4 lanes for expanded connectivity options. The platform is designed to support future AMD processor releases, protecting your investment.

Package Contents and Requirements

This retail package does not include a heatsink or fan. A compatible AM5 cooler is required for operation. The processor comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and weighs 0.1220kg.
