Pros and cons

According to our processor expert

  • Overclock this processor for more processing power and shorter loading times.
  • Thanks to the 6 cores and 12 threads, you can perform multiple demanding tasks at the same time, such as gaming and extracting files at the same time.
  • With 35MB of combined cache, your processor will run at lightning speed.
  • This processor only works with an AM4 (5th gen AMD) socket motherboard and 500 series chipset.
  • The processor doesn't have an integrated GPU, so you need a separate video card.

Good price/performance

  • Price/performance ratio
  • Good CPU for gaming
  • reasonable energy consumption
  • Supplied cooler is bad, better buy a separate CPU cooler

The AMD 5600x strikes a nice balance between price and performance. You can tackle all modern games with it (if you have a good GPU of course). I am very satisfied with it myself, notice a clear difference compared to my previous CPU (Ryzen 5 2600x, which was also a nice CPU in its time). Unfortunately, the included cooler is practically worthless. Maybe just enough to bridge the period until you have chosen a CPU cooler. In my case, I purchased a Cooler Master Hyper 212. Saves about 20 degrees in my case.

Recommended in the midrange segment

  • Fast in gaming
  • 6 cores, 12 threads
  • High boost speed, especially with proper cooling
  • Lots of money for a midrange CPU

Good value for money. CPU is an all-rounder and especially excels in single threaded applications (like most games). But also hobby video editing and streaming is no problem.

Best models from Ryzen series for the moment

  • Perfect for gaming, and still good for some production tasks
  • No APU

The Ryzen 5600X seems to be perfect for gaming and has a lot of features improved since last gen. The X model overclocks pretty easy. I was able to gain 0.4ghz very easy. Buy you have to consider a good cooling solution. I'm running a watercooler and the CPU can reach 80°C pretty easy with some oc.
