  • I bought the processor in October, so far it is perfect for budget gaming, but now with the price it has reached, I suggest you buy it used

    This review is about packaging: Tray, with cooler: No

    Very good and reliable processor for a budget gaming PC. If the processor is paired with a good motherboard and works with a good graphics card, it is excellent!! It is not high end but it can perform very well in gaming mode or for work tasks. If someone can spend a little more, they should go for the 5600, but the differences are small... An important factor for Ryzen processors in general is proper cooling.

    Very good processor for its price. It is perfect for a budget build, which is what I made. I mainly play Fortnite and together with an RX 580 2048sp and 32GB DDR4 RAM I get a steady 165 fps, which is more than enough. At 60-70€, I highly recommend it

    For a budget gaming PC, it's very good, for example, a set with the cheapest... around €550 brand new
    Cpu: Ryzen 5 5500 (with the AMD cooler)

    Ram: G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2x8)

    Case: Supercase 15A Series Odin Midi Tower

    *If I were to make any upgrade, it would be RAM 32GB (2x16)*

    It is a very good processor for its money at the moment. Personally, I upgraded from a Ryzen 2400G so I saw a big difference. In multitasking it is quite good, switching tabs, games, programs with very good responsiveness. Its temperatures at idle drop noticeably, around 30°C, but when running 3-4 programs together it goes up to 65, but I still have it with the stock cooler; I imagine that even with a Cooler Master it would be at lower levels. For someone who doesn't want to give a kidney given the prices in Greece, it is an honest processor, not the most recent, but it does its job very decently. With 6 cores, 12 threads (it can also be overclocked since it is unlocked up to 4.2GHz) it can satisfy any casual user who doesn't care to see 120 fps in 4K. Ideal for an entry level rig in my humble opinion. Note, it does not have integrated graphics, a dedicated GPU is needed.

    It was purchased for 70 euros, so for the money, it is very good for budget gaming with an RX 6600. The only negative for me, who has a gen4 SSD, is that the processor is only up to gen3. For gen4, it is Ryzen 5 5600 and above (not Ryzen 5 5600g)

    I bought this processor about two years ago for around 130 euros. Despite having 6 cores, it is fast, especially for someone who wants a cheap and reliable processor. It hasn't given me any problems so far. It is definitely worth 100% of the money

    Excellent processor. With a cooler for 20 euros and with PBO -25 all cores, it reaches 10800 in Cinebench R23 at 55 watts, better than the stock 5600x I had at 80 watts. The only processor for value systems on AM4. After this, only AM5 and 7600, always for value systems.

    A very good way to work with it is also -15 all cores and +100 MHz on PBO if you want it to perform slightly better at 4250+ all cores (4150 all cores for the stock 5600x). Here it gave me Cinebench R23 10980 and consistently 4350 all cores with Corsair 3200 memory at 62-65 watts. Whatever you say is not enough for this processor

    I simply find it incredible that it was installed on a 2017 motherboard (A320Κ-Μ) and it works perfectly with its performance and all. AMD really impressed us with their long-term support for the AM4 socket.

    I bought 2 to install at home, where my wife uses it for CAD/3D work and I play some games, and at the office for my own work (graphics/video) where I have a B450 motherboard.

    In both systems, I replaced the R5 2600 and gained over 25% performance in single core and over 35% in multicore performance.

    As usual, AMD offers amazing value for money. For €100 per system, it will serve us for at least another 2-3 years for our work, without needing to change anything else.

    I also noticed a noticeable improvement in microstuttering in games, even though my graphics card is a humble Radeon 5500XT. The new processor significantly helped in the games I play, and now the flow of the image is smoother. It seems that this +25% single core really made a difference.

    There was an upgrade from Ryzen 5 1600 to a system with a 1660Ti graphics card. Overall, it is a pretty good value for money choice. In gaming, I noticed an increase of +10-30 FPS in most games and the temperatures remain quite low.

    A very good processor for its price at 90€ that I bought. I don't know if it's suitable for video editing and such software, I think for that you should go with Intel. But for those who play games, it's perfect. For a mid-end build, of course, nothing more. I have paired it with G.Skill 3600MHz CL16 2Kit 16GB RAM, M.2 W.D. Black storage, Rx6600 Radeon GDDR6 GPU, and Gigabyte B550M motherboard. I smoothly run League of Legends at 240 fps, for which the processor is mainly responsible (mid graphics), and I get 90-100 fps in Fortnite at high graphics.
    It's worth it, but I believe the 5600 is better for an extra 10-20€.

    The processor is VFM. The use I make of it is in games (Lol, FIFA, Watch Dogs Legion, Forza) and programming. I recommend you to get another cooler because the stock one is inadequate (after hours of use (programming) it started to reach around 60 degrees. I got a cooler from coolermaster and now it's cool. I would give it 5 stars if it had a better stock cooler.

    It was bought for a second PC, but after testing, it outperformed the 2600 by far and was put in my gaming PC. At 100 euros, it's unbeatable, the only downside being that it doesn't support PCI4.0 for the new graphics cards.

    I have him on a Gigabyte B550 v2 Gaming X motherboard, paired with 32GB of RAM and a 3050 graphics card. This PC currently runs everything smoothly and I can play all games at 1080p with excellent performance, even with Ray Tracing at 0.1% FPS at 40. If you want your processor to run smoothly, choose a good motherboard like the one I mentioned above, which also supports the 6000 series with updates from the factory - I didn't have to do anything myself. It's a great processor and worth the money. As for temperatures...I don't even have a single fan in my PC and the maximum temperature it reaches without a fan is 60 degrees.

    There was an upgrade from Ryzen 3 1200, and the difference is terrifying. It is at least 5-10 times faster, increasing fps in all games.
    It was installed on an Asus B450 motherboard, and only one bios update was needed, which should be done anyway. For 1080p gaming, it may be the most budget CPU currently available in the market. At the price I see it has reached, it will be the first choice for every budget gamer.

    I bought it for 120 euros today and now I see it at 102 euros. It's an excellent processor for the money it costs.
    2. It scores 19400 points on Passmark.
    3. It runs on most motherboards on the market after a bios update. I have it on a Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H V2 with bios version F52g.
    4. For me, at 102 euros, it's the absolute best value for money in 2022.
    5. In early 2023, it was at 88 euros.
    Note: It does not have integrated graphics.

    A very honest product for its price. An upgrade from the honest 2200G. The processor is worth it with an average temperature of 50-55 degrees in a mid case with its own cooler, even in a warm room. Value for money for what it offers...! For the average user, it may be ideal, along with the 5600G and 5600X. It will mostly satisfy its owner in both applications and games. Recommended for a friendly budget PC with decent performance!!!

    WARNING!!!
    It is unacceptable for the new AMD processor to have a slightly bent pin straight from the manufacturer!
    Yes, you heard it right!! 1 pin is bent!
    It wouldn't fit into a new motherboard and luckily I noticed it quickly and didn't force it, otherwise it would have broken....
    And I ask... Would the store accept it back?
    At this point, no kids... I would hear the usual excuses...
    With a file from my wife's hands and a big flashlight, I managed to fix it...
    Nevertheless, the processor is very good for 115 euros....

    Cpu: Ryzen 5 5500 (with the AMD cooler)
    Mobo: Asrock A520M-HVS
    Ram: G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (2x8)
    Psu: Thermaltake TR2 S 600W
    Vga: Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 8GB
    Case: Supercase 15A Series Odin Midi Tower
    Nvme: Adata Legend 710 SSD 1TB
    *If I were to make any upgrade, it would be RAM 32GB (2x16)*

    It is a very good processor for its money at the moment. Personally, I upgraded from a Ryzen 2400G so I saw a big difference. In multitasking it is quite good, switching tabs, games, programs with very good responsiveness. Its temperatures at idle drop noticeably, around 30°C, but when running 3-4 programs together it goes up to 65, but I still have it with the stock cooler; I imagine that even with a Cooler Master it would be at lower levels. For someone who doesn't want to give a kidney given the prices in Greece, it is an honest processor, not the most recent, but it does its job very decently. With 6 cores, 12 threads (it can also be overclocked since it is unlocked up to 4.2GHz) it can satisfy any casual user who doesn't care to see 120 fps in 4K. Ideal for an entry level rig in my humble opinion. Note, it does not have integrated graphics, a dedicated GPU is needed.

    Classic choice at a low cost. You can do everything with a wide range of use. For simple, gaming, but also professional use.

    I have it paired with an RX 6600 and it performs very well in the games I play, but it's better to go with a 3600x or a 5600 for the am4 socket

    It was purchased for 70 euros, so for the money, it is very good for budget gaming with an RX 6600. The only negative for me, who has a gen4 SSD, is that the processor is only up to gen3. For gen4, it is Ryzen 5 5600 and above (not Ryzen 5 5600g)

    I bought this processor about two years ago for around 130 euros. Despite having 6 cores, it is fast, especially for someone who wants a cheap and reliable processor. It hasn't given me any problems so far. It is definitely worth 100% of the money

    This review is about packaging: Tray, with cooler: No

    Excellent processor. With a cooler for 20 euros and with PBO -25 all cores, it reaches 10800 in Cinebench R23 at 55 watts, better than the stock 5600x I had at 80 watts. The only processor for value systems on AM4. After this, only AM5 and 7600, always for value systems.

    A very good way to work with it is also -15 all cores and +100 MHz on PBO if you want it to perform slightly better at 4250+ all cores (4150 all cores for the stock 5600x). Here it gave me Cinebench R23 10980 and consistently 4350 all cores with Corsair 3200 memory at 62-65 watts. Whatever you say is not enough for this processor

    I simply find it incredible that it was installed on a 2017 motherboard (A320Κ-Μ) and it works perfectly with its performance and all. AMD really impressed us with their long-term support for the AM4 socket.

    I bought 2 to install at home, where my wife uses it for CAD/3D work and I play some games, and at the office for my own work (graphics/video) where I have a B450 motherboard.

    In both systems, I replaced the R5 2600 and gained over 25% performance in single core and over 35% in multicore performance.

    As usual, AMD offers amazing value for money. For €100 per system, it will serve us for at least another 2-3 years for our work, without needing to change anything else.

    I also noticed a noticeable improvement in microstuttering in games, even though my graphics card is a humble Radeon 5500XT. The new processor significantly helped in the games I play, and now the flow of the image is smoother. It seems that this +25% single core really made a difference.

    This processor, when paired with the rtx 4070 msi, is incredible in that it has no difficulty running heavy games like Call of Duty at 165fps 1440p. It is definitely worth its price and more

    There was an upgrade from Ryzen 5 1600 to a system with a 1660Ti graphics card. Overall, it is a pretty good value for money choice. In gaming, I noticed an increase of +10-30 FPS in most games and the temperatures remain quite low.

    A very good processor for its price at 90€ that I bought. I don't know if it's suitable for video editing and such software, I think for that you should go with Intel. But for those who play games, it's perfect. For a mid-end build, of course, nothing more. I have paired it with G.Skill 3600MHz CL16 2Kit 16GB RAM, M.2 W.D. Black storage, Rx6600 Radeon GDDR6 GPU, and Gigabyte B550M motherboard. I smoothly run League of Legends at 240 fps, for which the processor is mainly responsible (mid graphics), and I get 90-100 fps in Fortnite at high graphics.
    It's worth it, but I believe the 5600 is better for an extra 10-20€.

    The processor is VFM. The use I make of it is in games (Lol, FIFA, Watch Dogs Legion, Forza) and programming. I recommend you to get another cooler because the stock one is inadequate (after hours of use (programming) it started to reach around 60 degrees. I got a cooler from coolermaster and now it's cool. I would give it 5 stars if it had a better stock cooler.

    It was bought for a second PC, but after testing, it outperformed the 2600 by far and was put in my gaming PC. At 100 euros, it's unbeatable, the only downside being that it doesn't support PCI4.0 for the new graphics cards.

    I have him on a Gigabyte B550 v2 Gaming X motherboard, paired with 32GB of RAM and a 3050 graphics card. This PC currently runs everything smoothly and I can play all games at 1080p with excellent performance, even with Ray Tracing at 0.1% FPS at 40. If you want your processor to run smoothly, choose a good motherboard like the one I mentioned above, which also supports the 6000 series with updates from the factory - I didn't have to do anything myself. It's a great processor and worth the money. As for temperatures...I don't even have a single fan in my PC and the maximum temperature it reaches without a fan is 60 degrees.

    There was an upgrade from Ryzen 3 1200, and the difference is terrifying. It is at least 5-10 times faster, increasing fps in all games.
    It was installed on an Asus B450 motherboard, and only one bios update was needed, which should be done anyway. For 1080p gaming, it may be the most budget CPU currently available in the market. At the price I see it has reached, it will be the first choice for every budget gamer.

    DO NOT buy this, go for a 3600 with 32MB Cache Memory instead. It works better on A520, B550, X570 motherboards only. For other AM4 motherboards, a BIOS update is required

    I bought it for 120 euros today and now I see it at 102 euros. It's an excellent processor for the money it costs.
    2. It scores 19400 points on Passmark.
    3. It runs on most motherboards on the market after a bios update. I have it on a Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H V2 with bios version F52g.
    4. For me, at 102 euros, it's the absolute best value for money in 2022.
    5. In early 2023, it was at 88 euros.
    Note: It does not have integrated graphics.

    A very honest product for its price. An upgrade from the honest 2200G. The processor is worth it with an average temperature of 50-55 degrees in a mid case with its own cooler, even in a warm room. Value for money for what it offers...! For the average user, it may be ideal, along with the 5600G and 5600X. It will mostly satisfy its owner in both applications and games. Recommended for a friendly budget PC with decent performance!!!

    WARNING!!!
    It is unacceptable for the new AMD processor to have a slightly bent pin straight from the manufacturer!
    Yes, you heard it right!! 1 pin is bent!
    It wouldn't fit into a new motherboard and luckily I noticed it quickly and didn't force it, otherwise it would have broken....
    And I ask... Would the store accept it back?
    At this point, no kids... I would hear the usual excuses...
    With a file from my wife's hands and a big flashlight, I managed to fix it...
    Nevertheless, the processor is very good for 115 euros....

  • Very good and reliable processor for a budget gaming PC. If the processor is paired with a good motherboard and works with a good graphics card, it is excellent!! It is not high end but it can perform very well in gaming mode or for work tasks. If someone can spend a little more, they should go for the 5600, but the differences are small... An important factor for Ryzen processors in general is proper cooling.

  • Very good processor for its price. It is perfect for a budget build, which is what I made. I mainly play Fortnite and together with an RX 580 2048sp and 32GB DDR4 RAM I get a steady 165 fps, which is more than enough. At 60-70€, I highly recommend it
