The cheapest 6-core Zen3 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 performance benchmarks announced

In mid-March, AMD released 6 new Ryzen CPU, including 3 Zen3 and 3 Zen2 products. The most entry-level Zen3 series is the Ryzen 5 5500.

A few days ago, Benchleaks dug up the Geekbench score of the Ryzen 5 5500 and compared it with the market competition products that may be encountered. The results are as follows:

Compared with the current major 6C12T processors, the Ryzen 5 5500 cannot gain a little advantage. Specifically, 5600G is 4.4% faster than 5500 single thread and 1.3% faster than multi-thread; 5600X is 12.3% faster than 5500 single thread and 9.3% faster than multi-thread; Intel i5-12400 single thread is 20% faster than 5500 and multi-thread is 17.2% faster % .

It is speculated that the maximum frequency of its design is 4.2GHz, which is the lowest among several models (the base frequency is also lower at 3.6GHz).

In addition, it is said that the core of the Ryzen 5 5500 is actually based on the mobile version of Cezane, and PCIe is also used. 4.0 is also cut.

Going back to the price, the Ryzen 5 5500 is priced at US$159, which is the cheapest of the four, but now the prices of  5600X and 5600G have dropped, while  prices 12400F and 12400 are also competitive.
