Pros and cons

According to our processor expert

Overclock this processor for more processing power and shorter loading times.
Thanks to the combination of 6 cores and 12 threads, you can perform multiple demanding tasks at the same time, such as gaming and extracting files at the same time.
You don't have to buy the AMD Wraith Stealth cooler separately, as it's included.
If you plan to work with video editing or streaming, choose at least a Ryzen 7 processor.
This processor doesn't have a built-in video chip, so you need to buy a dedicated video card separately.

Description

Note: the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 has an AM4 socket and only works with the 500-series chipsets (X570, for example). Make sure your motherboard has the right socket and chipset, otherwise your processor won't work. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a mid-range processor from the Ryzen 5000 series. This CPU is suitable for simple gaming and editing photos. With 6 cores and 12 threads, overclocking and hyperthreading is possible. This way, you can perform more tasks at the same time, without one of your cores slowing down. The 5500 has a 4.2GHz maximum clock speed and it uses the Zen 3 7nm architecture, which delivers high performance at low power consumption. With 16MB of L3 cache, 3MB of L2 cache, and 384kB of L1 cache, this processor processes data faster than other CPUs. The memory controller supports DDR4 RAM with a 3200MHz maximum speed, so you can quickly create RAM. You also get an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler with this processor, so you can keep your CPU cooled well. Do you plan on using Windows 11 as your operating system? No problem. This processor supports both Windows 10 and 11, but also works with RHEL x86 and Ubuntu x86.
