The new price-performance king for gamers, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads, operating at just 65 W TDP. The 9600X is perfect for gamers looking to transition to the AM5 platform, offering excellent gaming performance and access to the latest technologies at a very affordable price.

As with all processors in the Ryzen 9000 series, PCIe 5 is enabled on this part, and integrated Radeon graphics with RDNA2 are also available for multimedia and office tasks, or when users are upgrading but waiting for their GPU. Owners of existing AM5-compatible air or AIO liquid coolers can reuse their cooler, as the 9600X remains very cool during gaming and real-world applications thanks to the efficiency of the Zen 5 architecture.
