AMD Ryzen 5 5600
A still-fine 1080p and 1440p gaming CPU, especially used.
What it is used for
Six Zen 3 cores. Paired with a modern GPU it still plays current games; the platform (AM4 / DDR4) is what is aging, not the core count.
Good for
- Budget 1080p / 1440p gaming
- Cheap AM4 upgrades from Ryzen 3000
- Everyday Windows work
Not the pick for
- New platform builds
- Heavy content creation
