Ryzen 5 5600G Spec and Price in the United States

AM46 cores / 12 threads

Released April 13, 2021 · $259.00 MSRP

A six-core, 12-thread sibling to the 5700G that shares the same 16MB of L3 cache and integrated AMD Radeon Graphics at a 65W TDP, with a 4.4GHz boost clock against the 5700G's 4.6GHz. A Wraith Stealth cooler ships in the box, and like the rest of the G-series it runs at PCIe 3.0. It suits budget builds that lean on integrated graphics rather than a discrete card.

Tied 62nd of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 2 models share this figure. Tied 61st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 5 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.
