Another winner from AMD “Ryzen 5 5600g”
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for a powerful desktop, workstation or gaming processor that is also affordable....this processor covers it all. Works well, runs most big games like Enlisted at 38-45FPS. Great for budgets builds. Make sure to download the drivers to activate the graphics when you install this CPU. My games ran well, I am waiting for GPU prices to drop so this does the job good enough. When playing Enlisted, I had frames up to 45FPS to a steady 37FPS. If you are playing Apex Legends and you are a serious gamer, get a GPU. This CPU ran Apex at 30fps to 26FPS so just grab a GPU for that. And if you for some reason only game on Roblox, this CPU is completely capable of running max graphics on it lol. The shipping was very fast and I love this CPU! I think if you are waiting on a GPU this does the job for a budget gaming CPU…..

Great budget APU
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Along with the 5700G, this is a very solid HTPC candidate if on a budget. Usually $80-$100 less than the 5700G, you are giving up 2 cores, and you get slightly-more-crippled built-in graphics with Vega 7. For the price, you get the cheapest Zen 3 Ryzen (so far), and this gets you a lot, but if you can afford the 5700G, I would recommend doing that instead. Comparing to its' sibling 5600X, you give up some L3 cache, 128GB support and PCIE 4.0 support, and in place of these goodies, you get Vega 7 built-in graphics. As with the 5700G, the RAM memory is used for the built-in graphics, so get the fastest DDR4 you can for better built-in graphics performance. I saw the built-in graphics only use 512MB on this CPU, so getting gobs of memory may not help much, but the amount of memory used may be dependent on the chipset/motherboard, not sure about that.
