AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Desktop Processor with 6-core/12-thread, 19MB Cache, up to 4.4 GHz max Boost and Radeon Graphics

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is an excellent value for money proposition. For those who want good performance at lower price point it does not get better than this.This processor uses the older AM4 socket and only supports DDR4The cooler (wraith stealth) in the box comes with thermal paste applied. Do not touch it! there is no sticker on top of it and can be installed directly on top of CPU. There are you tube videos that help with this stepDo not buy motherboards greater then those based on the B450 chipset. This processor can only use PCie3.0 and not PCIe4.0 therefore motherboards based on B550 and above chipsets offer no performance improvements even at a higher price (note: if you are getting a separate GPU with PCIe 4.0 e.g. AMD radeon RX 6500XT or want to use NVMe SSD with M.2 and PCIe 4.0, you might want to look at AMD Ryzen 5600X, which supports PCIe4.0. Of course 5600X is more expensive and does not have iGPU)Processor is easy to install.The cineBench R23 score for this processor is around 10900 points (multi core) and 1500 points (single core) which is better than a 9th gen core i9 (the direct competitor for this processor from intel is the i5 12400, which has slightly better performance (10-15%) as it is newer. It is also pricier as are the compatible motherboards. Also it supports DDR 5 which 5600G does not. The iGPU in 5600G is vastly superior though )The onboard Radeon Vega 6 graphics is also performative, with 30-40 FPS in modern games (tested with ghostrunner demo) at medium settings. This iGPU will hands down beat most or all intel iGPU and is a good choice for playing games on medium to low settings at 1080P without needing a separate GPU. If playing older games (prior to 2018) performance will be even betterAlways pair this processor with a dual RAM kit, never a single RAM stick, as Ryzen processor and the iGPU performance benefits from running memory in dual channel modeAll the best with your new build!Edit: my component list with price is as follows (July 2023 prices. Indian rupees. In Dollars it is about 380 Dollars total)Ryzen 5 5600G processor-13,000 RsAsus prime B450M II motherboard-7,500 RsAdata XPG D50 DDR4 3200MT/s16Gb RAM kit - 4,500 RsGigabyte P450 power supply - 2,500 RsDeepcool Matrexx SI 30 case - 2,300 RsTotal: approx 31,000 RsDidn't need storage so didn't buy. Would strongly suggest a 512Gb/1Tb PCIe 3rd gen NVMe M.2 SSD for boot driveWould suggest a deepcool case Matrexx SI 40 or higher as that case would be easier to build in and cable manageI also bought a deepcool AK 400 cooler a month later as the thermals were poor. You may not need it, but if you do this is a good cooler at 2,400 RsEdit: the included stock cooler is unable to handle the heat, with processor running at 45 to 50 degree celsius on idle and max workloads like cinebench and folding at home pushing it to theoretical max of 95 degrees. My case Deep cool matrexx sl30 results in 5-8 degree celsius higher temperature So separate cpu cooler required in my case.

Perfect for entry level editing and gaming

While the iGPU on this is decent, the overall package power draw is quite high for a low-power SFF build. I have this with the Noctua NH-L9A in a small mini-ITX build (in a 60mm high case). Had to back down the power target to 45W and disable HT to keep temperatures in check, but even then performance is respectable.The system is used as a digital transport for an audio system (streaming, BT and playback from CD/HDD). It is ridiculously quiet as configured, and can handle basically any sort of load while remaining under 60C in these very cramped quarters. For video use, a slightly bigger case and cooler combination is required.Overall, it is still sort of relevant nearly three years after launch, though the newer Intel 12th Gen CPUs do have better video encode/decode iGPUs if you're not interested in gaming (or have a discrete GPU). AMD's older 5xxx's would still outperform them once power is capped to say 45W, so you should choose based on your needs.

The media could not be loaded. Good performac3

working fine and best working

It's been more than 2 years, it's still good as new, and I like it (can't say much, as this is my first one)

U know it made me to write review because it speed is beyond your thinking

Bought this APU about 9 months back when it was launched at a higher price or 28K INR. This APU met all my requirements. I got this for my daily work with light gaming. The only concern was the price to performance ratio and this APU topped it. The performance of this processor is outstanding for a workstation and for personal computing. I paired up this APU with a Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 with an XPG 16GB Gammix RAM running 3200 MHz. After using it for a couple of months here are the pros and cons:-Pros:a) You get a Zen3 Architecture processor. For consumers like us, it actually doesn't matter while buying the processor however it does. With the new Zen3, you get more cores squeezed into the CPU unit at a lesser price.b) It has a Vega 7 IGP or Graphics processor. The Vega 7 is an outdated Graphics processor. But it does perform well with the Zen3 architecture. AMD should have had an RDNA GPU integrated.c) The IGP is very powerful and theoretically, it runs every modern game at a lower resolution.d) Multicore performance is outstanding at this price. Very smooth performance when running muti core application.d) The Idle temperature is cooler at the base frequency of the processor.e) The CPU is unlocked for the overclocking, unlike any Intels.f) The Processor comes with a Wraith Stealth cooler (The Fan) which is a performant cooler. The wraith cooler doesn't work effectively when playing games and overclocking and will cause the processor to throttle its clock which will basically make the processing slower. A liquid cooler should be optional if you are tight on budget. Also, a fan not only cools the processor but it helps removes nearby hot air and cools the PCB and components under it such as an M.2 (Only if it is nearer to the CPU)Cons:a) Requires a good cooling solution when you overclock it or when running long and heavy processes. It goes above 80 degrees Celcius which is fine by AMD officially.b) AMD Radeon Adrenalin graphics driver is buggy at least on Windows 10. Windows 11 drivers are much better and sturdy. Beware when upgrading.c) Single-core performance is less than Intel's equivalent processor Core i5 11400. But it shouldn't matter since most modern applications utilize Multicore now.d) The processor has PCIe 3.0 interface which is 2x less than AMD Ryzen 5600X which is PCIe 4.0. If you plan to buy a GPU or an M.2 NVMe later, you may get lesser performance. The reason for AMD to choose PCIe 3.0 for 5600G may be due to the fact of maintaining the TDP of the processor.Overall I am very happy with this APU.
