AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - The CPU with the best price-performance ratio
Posted by Stefan on 2022-07-18
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (6C 12T) is currently enjoying great popularity and is currently one of the best-selling processors for AMD's Socket AM4 platform.
But why is the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 so cheap and what disadvantages does the buyer have to accept? We clarify that in this article. But first we have to dive a little into the technology of the current Zen 3 processors in order to understand what kind of exotic cpu AMD has actually created with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500.

In the past we had repeatedly written about our most popular processors. Since this format was quiet popular, I would like to continue this today and introduce you the most popular processors in the first half of 2022.
With more than 2 million page views per month, CPU-Monkey is one of the biggest comparison sites for processors and is currently available in 16 languages.

Comparison of the two processors
If you look at the names of the two processors from this comparison, you can already guess that both processors will be similar and without assuming too much, that's how it is. However, there are also some differences, starting with the release date. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 was released in the third quarter of 2019, making it significantly older than the AMD Ryzen 5 5600, which was only released in the second quarter of 2022. Despite everything, the two processors are only one generation apart, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 comes from the third generation of Ryzen 5 processors from AMD and is based on the Matisse (Zen 2) architecture. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 comes from the fourth generation and is based on the Vermeer (Zen 3) architecture. Both processors are manufactured using the 7-nanometer process and they are both designed for the AM4 socket.Both processors are equipped with 6 cores each. In the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, these clock at 3.60 gigahertz, which can be increased to up to 4.20 gigahertz in turbo mode. The cores of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 clock slightly lower at 3.50 gigahertz, but the maximum clock speed in turbo mode is slightly higher at 4.40 gigahertz. Both processors can be overclocked and support hyperthreading, giving you up to 12 computing threads.
The two processors are not equipped with an internal graphics unit, so you have to use a dedicated graphics card. To connect these, both the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 are equipped with 20 PCIe lines of version 4.0.
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 has 2 memory channels through which it can be operated with up to 128 gigabytes of RAM. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is also equipped with 2 memory channels, but only supports a maximum of 64 gigabytes of RAM. Only the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 supports memory with automatic error correction.
