The Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread AM4 desktop processor built on AMD's Zen 3 architecture, bundled with the Wraith Stealth cooler. It handles gaming, everyday multitasking and light content work well, and the included cooler saves you a separate purchase. Its main trade-off against the Ryzen 5 5600 is a smaller L3 cache and no PCIe 4.0 support, so it trails slightly in some games and in fast-storage setups. It is a sensible pick for budget AM4 builds and upgrades from older Ryzen chips.
