Ryzen 7 5700X Spec and Price in the United States

AM48 cores / 16 threads

Released April 4, 2022 · $299.00 MSRP

An eight-core, 16-thread part boosting to 4.6GHz from a 3.4GHz base at a 65W TDP, with 32MB of L3 cache — the same core count and cache as the 105W Ryzen 7 5800X at a substantially lower power envelope. No integrated graphics is fitted, so a discrete GPU is required. Unlocked for overclocking, it ships without a bundled cooler.

Tied 56th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 5 models share this figure. Tied 32nd of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 13 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers rate it an affordable eight-core processor with a good price-to-performance ratio and excellent gaming performance.
  • It supports PCIe 4.0, is unlocked, and runs cool and efficiently thanks to its single-CCD design.
  • Owners report the 65W eight-core runs cool, often staying below 60C on air coolers.
  • It is widely described as a strong upgrade for owners of first- through third-generation Ryzen chips.
  • It works in existing AM4 boards, including B450 and X570, often after a BIOS update.

Commonly criticised

  • It ships with no cooler and has no integrated graphics.
  • Reviewers noted the 5800X was better value for slightly more, and Intel's competing part was cheaper and generally faster.
  • It ships without a cooler, which several owners note some criticise.
  • Owners suggest it is not aimed at first-time builders who would need to buy a cooler separately.
