The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in November 2022. It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Zen 2 (Renoir) architecture with Socket AM4. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.2 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G on a 7 nm production node 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 PRO 4655G, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 3200 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the computer, Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics solution. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Wraith Stealth cooler.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 5 PRO 4655G, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
