This is a great opportunity for anyone building a new AM4 gaming PC, taking advantage of lowered prices in the wake of Intel’s competitive 12th-gen CPUs and before the next generation of AMD CPUs hits later this year.
So how does this CPU compare to the 5600X that arrived earlier? Well, you’re looking at a 200MHz deficit in terms of stated base and boost frequency, but almost everything else is identical: the same core layout, the same 32MB of L3 cache, the same 65W TDP and the same memory support. The 5600 hasn’t gotten an RPS review, but if you look atKatharine’s 5600X reviewand take off around 2% from every 5600X frame-rate you should be in the right ballpark! There’s even the option for Precision Boost Overdrive to increase performance and make up the difference - awesome.
That’s it for now - stay tuned for more deals coming later this week!
