Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy AM4 or AM5? AM4 is the budget-friendly choice with mature, affordable boards and memory. AM5 is the modern platform with DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and a longer upgrade runway – pick AM5 if you want the latest tech and future headroom.

What does the X3D suffix mean? X3D chips use AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, which stacks extra cache on the CPU to deliver some of the best gaming frame rates available.

Do I need a separate graphics card? Not necessarily. G-series APUs like the 5600GT, 5700G and 8700G include Radeon graphics, so you can build a working PC without a discrete GPU and add one later.
