Eight-core desktop processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an eight-core desktop processor built on the Matisse architecture. It delivers 16 threads for multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, compilation and virtualisation. Base frequency sits at 3.6 GHz with a maximum boost of 4.4 GHz. The 65 W thermal design power suits compact or quiet builds.

Socket AM4 with PCIe 4.0 support

The processor fits the established Socket AM4 platform and supports PCI Express 4.0 and 3.0 with up to 16 lanes. Dual-channel DDR4 memory controllers are integrated. A 32 MB L3 cache and 4 MB L2 cache reduce latency for gaming and productivity tasks. The 7 nm manufacturing process underpins the efficiency rating.

Retail box includes Wraith Prism cooler

The retail package supplies a Wraith Prism RGB cooler rated for the 65 W envelope, removing the need for a separate purchase. No additional software bundles are documented. The cooler mounts directly to the standard AM4 retention bracket for straightforward installation.
