AMD Ryzen 5 4500U

The AMD Ryzen 5 4500U is a mobile processor with 6 cores, launched in January 2020. It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Zen 2 (Renoir) architecture with Socket FP6. Ryzen 5 4500U has 11MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.3 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen 5 4500U on a 7 nm production process using 9,800 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 5 4500U, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 25 W, the Ryzen 5 4500U consumes only little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with adual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 4266 MHz, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Ryzen 5 4500U uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon Graphics 384SP integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 5 4500U, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
