The Ryzen 5 5500 isn’t the fastest, but it may be the best value option out there.
The Ryzen 5 5500 is one of AMD’s latest Ryzen 5000 processors, but a strong competing Intel lineup means it’s already gotten a 33% reduction on Amazon, dropping from £176 to £113. This six-core twelve-thread chip is a solid upgrade over the likes of the Ryzen 5 3600 from the previous generation, but mostly makes sense in a new budget gaming build or as an upgrade for an older Ryzen 1000 or Ryzen 2000 system.
Get the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 for £113 (was £176)
You still get the surprisingly decent AMD Wraith cooler with it, so you don’t have to allocate any additional budget to a thermal solution - a nice feature for a low-cost build.
The Ryzen 5500 hasn’t had the full RPS review treatment just yet, but there are plenty of reviews and benchmarks out there - I saw Hardware Unboxed has done some good coverage, for example - so it’s well worth taking a look and then coming back to this deal if it sounds like it might be right for you.
