The AMD Ryzen R7 1800X has 8 cores that run at a clock speed of 3.6GHz.
It has an L3 cache size of 16MB, an L2 cache size of 4096KB, and an L1 cache size of 512KB.
Cores | 8 | More cores means more threads and therefore more processes can be run simultaneously | |
---|---|---|---|
Speed | 3.6GHz | Clock frequency indicates processor speed, but is only reliable in comparisons between CPUs of the same family | |
Codename | Zen | The code name given by the manufacturers | |
Release Date | 02 Mar 2017 | The more recent the release, the more likely the CPU will receive up-to-date manufacturer support | |
TDP | 95W | The lower the TDP, the less power the CPU requires to run and thus the more efficient it is and the less heat it creates | |
L1 Cache | 512KB | The bigger the L1 cache, the more data can be stored for lightning CPU access to priority processes (though a bigger cache means a higher latency | |
L2 Cache | 4096KB | After L1 cache, L2 is utilized for slower (but still very fast) data access | |
L3 Cache | 16MB | The L3 cache is the largest CPU cache, but still provides very quick access to data | |
Lithography | 14nm | The smaller the lithographic technology used, the less power is required to run the CPU, and the less heat is created during intense use | |
CPU Socket | Socket AM4 | The motherboard socket and CPU socket should match to indicate the CPU is compatible with the motherboard and will fit into it | |
Unlocked Multiplier | no | An unlocked clock multiplier means you can adjust the multiplier for an overclocking speed boost |
The CPU is over 3 years old, meaning it is based on aging technologies and will not have the level of support that you would find in a newer processor.
Created with lithographic technology sized at 14 nanometers, the Ryzen R7 1800X is built for extreme speeds and efficiency, and with a Thermal Design Power of 95W the amount of power necessary to run is not excessive.
