The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT features Zen 3 architecture with eight cores for 16 threads. Its base speed is 3.8 GHz, but with Max Boost enabled, it can reach as high as 4.8 GHz. According to AMD, this particular edition supports PCIe 4.0.

Regarding memory, you can install up to 128GB of DDR4-3200 via two memory channels. It has no integrated graphics, so you need an external GPU to get off the ground. This is a pretty good deal for a processor with these specs, even if it isn't the fastest or newest on the market. As of this writing, we're unsure how long the offer will be available.
