AMD Ryzen™ 5 4500 6 Cores 12 threads 3.6 GHz 65W AM4 Processor

The AMD Ryzen™ 5 4500 is a desktop processor that belongs to AMD's Ryzen 4000 series, which utilizes the efficient Zen 2 architecture. This architecture brings significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency compared to previous generations.

The Ryzen 5 4500 is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU, providing a substantial multithreading capability that allows it to handle demanding workloads, such as content creation, video editing, and gaming, with relative ease. Clock speeds are set at a base of 3.6 GHz, with the ability to boost up to 4.1 GHz under heavy loads. This dynamic frequency scaling ensures that the processor can deliver high performance when needed while conserving energy during less demanding tasks. The chip is manufactured using TSMC's advanced 7nm FinFET process, which contributes to its impressive power efficiency and thermal performance. 

The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 watts, making it relatively power-efficient and suitable for a variety of cooling solutions, from stock coolers to high-end aftermarket options. Memory support on the Ryzen 5 4500 includes dual-channel DDR4 RAM with speeds up to 3200 MHz, which facilitates faster data transfer rates and improved overall system responsiveness. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require high memory bandwidth, such as gaming and professional software. 

The Ryzen 5 4500 is equipped with a total of 11MB of cache, split between 3MB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache. This sizable cache allows for quicker access to frequently used data and instructions, thereby reducing latency and enhancing processing efficiency. It supports the AMD Ryzen™ VR-Ready Premium which gives a premium experience in VR games and other entertainment applications.

In terms of connectivity, it is designed for the AM4 socket, which is supported by a wide range of motherboards, offering flexibility for different system builds and upgrades. However, unlike some other Ryzen models, the Ryzen 5 4500 does not include integrated graphics, necessitating the use of a discrete graphics card for visual output. This makes it an ideal choice for users who plan to pair the CPU with a dedicated GPU for gaming or professional graphical tasks.
