These are great prices for a high performance six core, twelve thread processor - especially one that comes with a competent Wraith cooler in the box. Pair it with a B450, B550 or X570 motherboard, and you’ve got a recipe for a performant gaming, streaming or content creation PC.
In Katharine’sRyzen 5600X review, she said that AMD had “set a new benchmark for mid-range gaming CPUs”. She lauded the new chip’s gaming performance, power efficiency and bundled cooler, but did note that it was more expensive than the 3600X, the chip it nominally replaced in AMD’s lineup, as well as the 10600K. The 3600X, 10600K and even 11600K remain cheaper than AMD’s alternative, but the 5600X does look significantly better value at its current position some way below its RRP.
