5.0 out of 5 stars Massive FPS boost and CPU-bottleneck alleviation around animal pens in Minecraft
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023
The 32MB of L3 cache on the 5600 and the strong single-core performance (I know, not cutting-edge single core perf. anymore in 2023, but still...) made this CPU a lifesaver for my framerate in modded Minecraft around the animal pens in my base (the kind of scenario where Minecraft proves to be the most CPU-bottlenecked experience of any PC game, in my experience).

I upgraded to this from a Ryzen 7 1700, and noticed a drastic difference in performance with otherwise the same hardware.

Here's the rundown of the performance difference I experienced from upgrading from Ryzen 7 1700 to Ryzen 5 5600 (see also the picture):
[] ~30% improvement to 0.1% lows in Unigine Superposition @ 1080p Extreme (This means, much more stable framerate without stutters)
[] ~12% improvement to 0.1% lows in MSI Kombustor MSI-01 OpenGL test 1080p (This means, more stable framerate without stutters)
[] ~46% across-the-board improvement to average framerate, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows in Minecraft running what I call "The chicken test" (simulates lag around lots of active mobs)
[] ~19% across-the-board improvement to average framerate, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p Ultra Quality/Max settings
[] ~51% single-core performance uplift in Cinebench R23
[] ~23% multi-core performance uplift in Cinebench R23

All in all the Ryzen 5 5600 is a fantastic budget upgrade if you have an older AM4 system. The motherboard being used here is an ASRock B450M A/C R-2.0.

I have just upgraded the RAM now too and endeavor to see what the performance difference is with faster-clocked RAM versus the older RAM speeds on the 5600 that were same as what the Ryzen 7 1700 was running at.

Reviewed in Canada on August 21, 2023
What can you ask more than the ryzen 5 5600 for 1080p, well nothing, the ryzen 5 5600 is cheap and perfect, it was an instant buy for me after a few days of research, combined with a b550 motherboard or x570 if you want more functionalities with an rx 6600 xt or rx 7600 it makes an absolute beast of a pc for a cheap price.(It comes with cooler and thermal paste)

Edit 1: Ive been using it daily for extended periods of time for a few months now, forcing it to his maximum and i can say that it still holds well i recommand it.
