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.

Description of the processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a processor from the fourth generation of AMDs Ryzen 5 series. It is based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed "Vermeer", and is manufactured using a 7-nanometer process. The processor was launched by AMD in the second quarter of 2022 and can be used on all mainboards with the AM4 socket. On older mainboards with this socket, a BIOS update may have to be carried out before the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 can be operated.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core processor that supports Hyperthreading technology, giving it up to 16 computing threads when needed. The clock frequency of the individual cores is 3.50 gigahertz, but it can be increased to up to 4.20 gigahertz (utilization of all cores) or 4.40 gigahertz (utilization of a single core) in turbo mode. In addition, the processor also has a free multiplier and can therefore be overclocked. For this, however, a special cooling of the processor and possibly also of the housing is required.

The processor is equipped with a 3.00 megabyte level 2 cache and a 32.00 megabyte level 3 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 does not have an internal graphics unit, but the processor has 20 PCI Express lanes in version 4.0. Any current dedicated graphics card can then be connected via this. Either the GeForce cards from NVIDIA or AMDs own Radeon cards come into question here.

Officially, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with its 2 memory channels supports the operation of up to 64 gigabytes of DDR4-3200 type RAM. In practice, however, more RAM and faster modules can usually be used.

Several virtual machines can be operated with the processor, for this purpose it supports the AMD virtualization technologies AMD-V and SVM.
