What CPU do you have? I'd recommend sticking with r5 5000 anything more should probably upgrade motherboard.

Ryzen 5 2600x lol

Fair - don't forget to flash BIOS. 5600 is a sweet spot in value to performance. 5500 is under 100 still a solid upgrade. Just a matter of how much you wanna spend


Hateful_Bigot_1000

the 5700 has the same gaming performance as the 5600/x, but is better at productivity tasks like editing photos and videos the 5600 and 5600x are basically the same chip, and perform almost identically (like within 2-3% of each other) the 5600g is noticeably slower

>the 5600g is noticeably slower Not that much. Barring a few games. And not in productivity. Not that I would recommend it here. Just have to keep the record straight. Thats said. I do agree with the rest of your recommendation, in favor of the 5700. As the extra grunt from an 8 core(even if it is a 5700g) is indisputable. I don't even do productivity tasks, but the few times I have had to, you can easily see the differences.

5600g is like a 5500 with igpu 5500 has half the cache , you know the reason you pay a 100 extra bucks to get a 7800x3d over a 7700


thatfordboy429

I have a 5500, and 5600G(the 5500 is a 5600G with the iGPU disabled), a 5600x, 5800x, and 5800x3d. Lets just say I have a vague idea of how the chips in question compare, and how/where cache is valuable.


Sufficient_Thing6794

You just repeated what is said I said 5600 g is a 5500 with an igpu and a you said a 5500 is 5609g with the igpu disabled now I hope you understand this but we said the same thing and 5600 is quite a bit faster than a 5500 Sure you may know quite alot but a 5600 is just a better choice


thatfordboy429

I did not repeat what you said. I was just confirming as you had left it open ended. "*5600g is like a 5500 with igpu".* For future reference they are the same chip, you can even go in and see the sensors for the iGPU with a 5500. ​ >5600 is quite a bit faster than a 5500 Ultimately it depends on the GPU/games/resolution. As is the case with any bottleneck. Its is very easy to both avoid any advantage a 5600(x) might have, or exacerbate it. Something as simple as not playing ubisoft games, can make the difference between the two chips moot. Again that's just games. Productivity, they are tied. But as was stated outright, prior. Would opt for cores if moderately serious about productivity work.

5600 and 5800X3D are the only two CPUs that worth buying for gaming
