AMD Ryzen 5 Cezanne 5500 OEM (100-000000457)

Twelve streams

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is undoubtedly the best value six-core processor on the market, with the Tray version without a cooler costing less than $100. The AM4 compatible motherboard and DDR4 RAM are also cheap compared to AM5 and DDR5. Thanks to the architecture, Zen 3 has high performance per core, and SMT technology parallelizes it into 12 virtual threads.

Memory overclocking

The L3 cache size is half that of the previous Ryzen 3600, but the cache is fast dual-channel 8+8 MB. And the RAM is capable of operating at up to 4266 MHz in Gear 1 synchronous mode. Even after automatically overclocking the cores, Precision Boost generates very little heat - only 40 W in games, which is even less than the manufacturer's TDP level of 65 W.

Deprived of a video card

Even a mini tower with a 9cm fan will provide virtually silent cooling. There is no integrated video card, or rather it is disabled, otherwise the processor would be called 5600G. And for the discrete GPU, the PCIe 3.0 x8 bus is available, which is a problem only for the Radeon RX 6400 and 6400 XT. Owners of more powerful video cards need not worry.
