The RYZEN 5 5600

This is the Ryzen 5 5600 CPU.  it fits with 3rd gen AM4 sockets and was made in 2020. 4 years later does this CPU stand the test of time? Well allow me to explain my experience with the Ryzen 5 5600 in 2025.

First off, getting the product was very easy and the price is very low and because of such we not expecting much. 93 bucks for a CPU is absurdly low in this age of computers, most of the time CPUs can go as high as 300, 400, 500, and god forbid 600. enough rambling lets get to the putting this CPU to use.

Running the benchmark test shows us that this CPU is capable of running pretty high end games for its price. its benchmark ended up very fast. it is faster then the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G and costs less then a third of its price. overall we are impressed with this CPU.

This CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads and a bunch of other stuff that you can read by clicking here or here to buy the product. click the image to also see the benchmark.
