AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review

General Features AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler

If you’re a gamer, AMD’s cheaper Ryzen 3 3300X is still a great deal, but the Ryzen 5 5600X is enough of a beast at its medium price to make it the year’s most good pure gaming CPU, which will provide your system not to  be heat up and provide excellence performance.

Performance

In AMD’s recent launch of Zen 3-based processors, the Ryzen 5 5600X fits nicely into the market for midrange gaming-focused CPUs, offering the optimum mix of core count and affordability. When compared to the so-so Intel Core i5-10600K, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X shines, posing genuine competition for Intel (although at a little higher price range than we’ve come to expect from Ryzens). 

Testing 

The Ryzen 5 5600X made records in some of our gaming tests and is one of AMD’s most outstanding value for money in 2020. It lacks the integrated graphics that some midrange customers may be hoping for. However, it’s a small drawback in an otherwise fantastic performance for this Editors’ Choice among gaming CPUs, including the excellent Ryzen 3 3300X budget version.

Processor 

Ryzen 5000-series Zen 3 midrange desktop stack, as well as a nod to the previous-generation processors they’ll be replacing. Our comparison to Intel’s closest competitors from the 10th and 9th Generation lines may be seen on the second tab. But not any longer. Now that all Ryzen 5 5600X’s cores have been consolidated into a single CCX design, AMD’s engineers have cut travel between bodies while also lowering latency.

Pros and cons 

• High overclock ceiling 
• Strong performance in content creation and productivity tasks 
• Dominance in gaming benchmarks •
• Low TDP 

Cons 

• Compared to the Ryzen 5 of the previous generation, there has been a price increase.
• There is no graphics built-in.

Overclocking had no obvious performance advantages. We put CPUs to the test with several proprietary synthetic benchmarks, as well as real-world tests with consumer apps like 7-Zip and 3D games like Far Cry 5. A range of like-priced rival and sibling AMD and Intel CPUs are included.

Conclusion

The Ryzen 3 3300X is still a great deal among gaming CPUs, but the Ryzen 5 5600X is a beast at its medium price, making it the greatest pure gaming CPU of the year.
