CPU

Shop AMD Ryzen and Intel Core desktop processors in South Africa for gaming, workstation and everyday PC builds, all official stock with local warranty.

Choosing a processor

• Gaming: 6 to 8 fast cores is the sweet spot. Your graphics card matters more for frame rates at 1440p and above.
• Streaming, video editing and 3D work: more cores and threads pay off. Look at 8 to 16 core models.
• Office and home PCs: a chip with built-in graphics saves you buying a separate graphics card.

Match the socket and platform

• AMD Ryzen: current chips use socket AM5 with DDR5 memory. Older Ryzen chips use AM4 with DDR4. Browse AMD CPUs.
• Intel Core: check whether the chip is LGA1700 or LGA1851 before choosing a board. Browse Intel CPUs.

Pick a motherboard with the same socket, the right memory type, and a cooler if the processor doesn’t include one.
