Higher speeds, more memory, and wider bandwidth than the previous generation, the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors with the 7nm “Zen 2” core sets the standard for high performance: exclusive manufacturing technology, historic on-chip throughput, and revolutionary overall performance for gaming. From the beginning AMD’s 3rd Gen Ryzen™ processors were designed with this philosophy, to break expectations and set a new standard for high-performance gaming processors. The 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors are built using the world’s most advanced 7nm manufacturing technology.

That’s the advantage you gain when you own the world’s most advanced processors for gaming. 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ processors feature support for the world’s first PCIe® 4.0 connectivity, to enable the most advanced motherboards, graphics, and storage technologies available. The new PCIe 4.0 standard doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 to up to 2GB/s per lane, or up to 32 GB/s on a x16 slot, enabling new generations of high-performance graphics cards, networking devices, NVMe drives, ethernet cards and more. AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series Desktop processors are compatible with all 500 Series motherboards out-of-the box, and are compatible with 400 Series and A320 motherboards when a compatible BIOS update has been installed.

Please visit the manufacturer’s website for your motherboard to verify support for your processor model, and for guidance on the BIOS update procedure.
