The best processor for a basic gaming PC or for work Upgraded from 3600 to 5600, different generations, with an average increase of about 15-20% in games and benchmarks. For the current price, it's a base with 6 physical cores for installation in any PC. TDP is 65W just like the 3600. It works paired with AMD RX 5700XT Aorus + 2x8 GB 3200 Corsair. Opted for OEM, as in this summer heat, I would have chosen an air cooler with 180+ TDP anyway. Absolutely nothing  Serhii Shkurupii: use AMD 5600 OEM less than month |
Replacing my old R5-2600, I got an excellent, powerful processor, the 5600X. The processor fit perfectly with my Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming motherboard (Bios:3802). It's fully compatible with the Asus TUF-RTX3070-O8G-V2-Gaming LHR graphics card and the RAM 4x8=32GB (3200MHz XMP). The cooling system installed is the Enermax T50 AXE 120 mm Black with Arctic MX-4 thermal paste. I've included a couple of test photos. If you have the chance, go for it. Wishing everyone peaceful skies and a great evening! Powerful Price  Roma Sheremet: use AMD 5600X BOX less than month |
The best processor for $150 (12/25/2022), very cold, under the be quiet! Shadow Rock 3 and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste in the stress test 65 maximum, in idle 30-35, without overclocking. For games, the performance is enough with a margin for 1080 and 1440, the emphasis is only on the video card. Of the unpleasant moments, this is an increase in the price of motherboards with a 550 chipset, but despite this, the performance is higher than that of 11400f and a bunch of percent + motherboard will be even cheaper than a bunch of 12400f, and in some places even higher performance.

New leader in the budget segment
The Ryzen 5 5600 is an affordable six-core Zen 3 processor from Vermeer that supports multi-threading technology, auto-overclocks from 3.5 to 4.4 GHz and supports DDR4-3200 RAM. This CPU has good temperature characteristics and does not require such powerful cooling as second and third generation Ryzen chips.
Powerful processor on an outdated platform
Just a couple of years ago, the Ryzen 5 5600 was the main character of all mid-range gaming builds, but with the announcement of the new AMD AM5 platform, the price of components from previous generations has dropped significantly. At the beginning of 2024, the Ryzen 5 5600 unexpectedly found itself in the entry price category. The result is an interesting situation where a powerful 12-thread chip is sold at a very affordable price, and it is extremely difficult to find a similar offer in terms of price-performance ratio.
Cost at the level of Intel Core i3 processors
At the time of release, the main competitor of the Ryzen 5 5600 was the more powerful six-core Core i5-12400, which costs on average 25% more. In fact, for the same money you can only buy an 8-thread Core i3-12100 from Intel, which is almost half as powerful as the hero of this review. In addition, an AM4 motherboard from AMD will cost less than a similar Intel platform.
