    Good job AMD. Beast of a processor if you can get your hands on it. Quite capable of multitasking with its six cores.

    I have bought multiple ryzen line products for a few of my builds. They run nicely for gaming and light editing. The 5600 is a very nice bang for your buck with a high performance to cost ratio compared to the competition
