5000 Series Ryzen 5 5600 Desktop Processor 6 cores 12 Threads 35 MB Cache 3.5 GHz Upto 4.2 GHz AM4 Socket 500 Series Chipset (100-100000927BOX)

The Ryzen 5 5600. A process with decent performance for gaming and multitasking/productive work in a kinda affordable price. With 6 physical cores and hyperthreading support at this price, This is the best bang for your buck gaming/video editing CPU you can buy right now. It is rated for a 65w TDP and comes with a wraith spire cooler but if you are going to be doing overclocking, I suggest you pick up a cpu cooler like the cooler master hyper 212. It will not bottleneck any mid-range graphics cards and will work good with graphics cards till the rtx 3070ti or its amd equivalent. Personally I paired this with a AMD RX 6600 GPU and the frametimes are as smooth as butter. Going from an old Ryzen 3 2200g with no hyperthreading to this, the experience is really fruitful and there are no stutters even while running Marvel's Spider-Man on very high with spotify and a few chrome tabs running in the background. If you are on the AM4 platform and have a 4 core, 1st or 2nd or even a 3rd gen ryzen processor, this upgrade is gonna make your pc feel quick and snappy. If you are in the LGA platform or are thinking of building a new computer, I would recommend the intel's 6 core i5 12400f or the new ryzen 7000 series as those platforms an upgrade path for atleas a few good years. Overall, Totally recommend it for old AM4 computers not for building new ones, unless you are not going to upgrade it in the future then sure.

great budget cpu, best for AAA title gamming and content creation.

Upgraded my 3300x to this instead of upgrading the entire platform to the new 9000 series. PC is much smoother now. No stuttering in many games. Benchmarking shows a 10Fps uplift. Hopefully, this will get me through the next 2 years.

Legit and working processor, cooler is good, box was a little bent but that it. Otherwise legit

I bought it in 2025-Dec for around 10700/- I'd say worth it, It can run all AAA PC games (I paired it with Rx 6400 Challenger) with decent FPS, works perfectly fine CPU temp is on 47° to 54° when in idle, CPU usage under 20% in idle.

Best Processor from AMD for budget Gamers who want to play games and do multitask best Processor in this budget

Go for it if you are on a budget.

Went from a ryzen 3 to this. More than 100% perf boost in most apps and games. Temps reached 77+ degrees with stock cooler so I undervolted it by setting -25 mv offset in PBO, now running at 70 degrees max while gaming. Windows feels smoother overall.
