Memory channelsiCounted in 64-bit channels, as Intel and AMD count them. A DDR5 module has two 32-bit subchannels and makers count it as one channel. A maker that counts narrower channels and states their width is converted by the total bus width, so Qualcomm's 8 channels of 16 bits are 2. A total bus width alone is divided by 64, so AMD's 256-bit interface is 4. The maker's own count goes in the source note.

A footnote on the Product ID Boxed and MPK rows says that select Ryzen 7000 and 5000 boxed models no longer include a cooler since 8/1/2025, because the AMD SR4 cooler reached end of life. Club386 lists the Ryzen 7 5800XT as getting no cooler. The base value is for the current WOF and WOZ boxes. The original BOX version has a variant row with the Wraith Prism.
