AMD Launches Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 Zen 3 OEM Desktop CPUs – 8 Essential Characteristics For A 65W Chip, Impressive Performance, Value, and Overclocking Potential

 

AMD has finally announced the introduction of the Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 OEM Desktop CPUs in the Ryzen 5000 series. The new desktop chips are targeted at OEMs and will provide excellent out-of-the-box efficiency, value, and even reasonable overclocking capability in a small bundle.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900 OEM CPUs with 12 cores and Ryzen 7 5800 OEM CPUs with 8 cores have been officially launched, and they offer impressive performance, value, and overclocking capabilities.

The new AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPUs allow OEMs to have pre-built desktop PCs at a lower cost while maintaining the same performance and reliability. The Ryzen 7 5800 OEM 8 core is targeted at mainstream and high-end desktop PCs, providing best-in-class performance that matches the Intel Core i9-11900K, while the Ryzen 9 5900 OEM 12 core is optimised for workload heavy tasks in high-end gaming PCs.

There are 12 cores and 24 threads in the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 OEM. The CPU has a 3.0 GHz base clock and a 4.7 GHz boost clock. The processor has 64 MB of L3 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache, and a TDP of 65 Watts. The TDP mostly influences the base clock, which is reduced by 700 MHz, while the boost clock is only reduced by 100 MHz compared to the Ryzen 9 5900X, which has a higher TDP of 105W.

Several OEMs, including Alienware, have already listed the latest chips in their brand new AMD desktops in terms of performance and value. The Aurora Ryzen Edition gaming desktops' setup page gives us a clear sense of how much benefit these chips can have. The Ryzen 7 5800 is at least $150 less expensive than the Ryzen 7 5800X variant, and the Ryzen 9 5900 is $300 less expensive than the Ryzen 9 5900X configuration. This is a good deal for desktop CPUs, which will provide nearly 95% of the output at a much higher efficiency.

It also seems that AMD's Ryzen 5000 OEM pieces have a much stronger bin. When checked with the Clock Tuner For Ryzen (CTR) utility, a user who received his Ryzen 7 5800 OEM from Alienware reported on Reddit that his chip turned out to be a golden sample. At just 1.125V, his chip will achieve 4.4 GHz all-core OC. Though these chips will not be sold in stores, the Ryzen 5000 OEM Desktop lineup will sell like hotcakes in the OEM market.
