The Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor on the AM4 socket, built on AMD's Zen 3 architecture and rated at 65W. It runs at a 3.6 GHz base clock with a 4.2 GHz boost and has no integrated graphics, so it needs a discrete graphics card. It suits budget builders upgrading an older AM4 board who want six fast cores for gaming and everyday work. Against the Ryzen 5 5600 it gives up half the L3 cache and PCIe 4.0 support, and it is a clear step below the 5600X in cache-heavy games, but it undercuts both on value and runs cool on the bundled cooler.
