AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT 5th Generation ( 4.4 GHz / 6 Cores / 12 Threads )

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT is a mainstream desktop processor from AMD’s Ryzen 5000 G-Series, built on the Zen 3 architecture and manufactured using TSMC’s 7nm FinFET process. It slots into the AM4 socket and ships as a boxed unit (product code 100-100001489BOX) complete with an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler, making it a straightforward upgrade for existing AM4 platform builds. At its core, the Ryzen 5 5500GT features six CPU cores and twelve processing threads via simultaneous multithreading (SMT). The processor operates at a base clock of 3.6 GHz and boosts up to 4.4 GHz under sustained load. The total cache stack comprises 384 KB of L1, 3 MB of L2, and 16 MB of L3 cache, delivering the low-latency memory access characteristic of the Zen 3 design. The chip is unlocked for overclocking, giving enthusiast builders additional headroom beyond stock settings. A key differentiator of the 5500GT within the Ryzen 5000 lineup is its integrated Radeon graphics, comprising seven compute units running at up to 1,900 MHz. This enables display output and basic graphical workloads without a discrete GPU, making it a practical choice for home office systems, HTPC builds, or budget-conscious configurations where a dedicated graphics card is not immediately required. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 via UDIMM slots, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. In a two-stick, single-rank configuration the controller runs at DDR4-3200; four-slot configurations top out at DDR4-2667. Connectivity is handled by PCIe 3.0, and the processor supports NVMe drives in Boot, RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations. The default thermal design power (TDP) is 65 W, with AMD’s configurable TDP (cTDP) adjustable between 45 W and 65 W to suit different chassis and cooling scenarios. The maximum operating junction temperature (Tjmax) is 95 °C. The processor carries a three-year manufacturer warranty and supports Windows 11 64-bit, Windows 10 64-bit, RHEL x86 64-bit, and Ubuntu x86 64-bit operating environments.
