processors can be overclocked and automatically boost up to an extended clock speed when paired with an efficient cooling solution.<\/p>\n<p>Local pricing for the processors positions them as\u00a0competitors to Intel\u2019s Core i5 and Core i7 range.<\/p>\n<p>Ryzen 5 processors boast six physical cores with 12 threads, with the exception of the Ryzen 5 1400 \u2013 which has four cores and eight threads.<\/p>\n<p>The chips are built on AMD\u2019s Zen microarchitecture, which uses a 14nm manufacturing process, and\u00a0will be available in South Africa on 21 April 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The
