The Ryzen 5 4500 is a six-core, twelve-thread AM4 desktop processor built on AMD's Zen 2 architecture and launched in 2022 as a budget part for older AM4 boards. It runs at 3.6 GHz base and up to 4.1 GHz boost with a 65 W TDP, 8 MB of L3 cache and a bundled Wraith Stealth cooler. It has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required, and it is limited to PCIe 3.0. Against the Ryzen 5 3600 it trades a smaller 8 MB L3 cache for higher clocks, and against the newer Ryzen 5 5600 it gives up Zen 3's larger cache and noticeably better gaming frame rates. It suits budget builders reusing an AM4 board and DDR4 memory who pair it with a mid-range graphics card.
