The processor is designed to offset rising memory prices by performing well with a single DDR5 stick, thanks to its large 104 MB on-chip cache. Built on AMD's Zen 4 architecture with 3D V-Cache technology, the 8-core, 16-thread processor runs at a 4.0 GHz base speed, boosts up to 4.5 GHz and retails for $329. Newegg is pairing the chip with a single-memory starter combo that includes the Radeon [RX 9070 GRE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rx-9070-gre) graphics card, leaving the second memory slot open for builders to expand once budgets or prices ease. The launch coincides with AMD Game On, a live event at the Newegg Gamer Zone featuring hands-on builds and a 5v5 VALORANT match streamed on [Twitch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theburntpeanut). This exclusive launch shows how chipmakers and retailers are creating more accessible entry points into gaming hardware without compromising long-term upgrade flexibility.
