AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT 3.7GHz 6 Core 12 Threads Desktop Processor

The AMD 100-100001585BOX is a Ryzen 5 5600XT desktop processor that combines six Zen 3 cores with 12 threads, a 3.7 GHz base clock, and speeds that rise to 4.7 GHz when workloads demand extra power. This blend of raw frequency and multi-thread capability keeps everyday applications responsive and maintains steady frame rates during intense gaming sessions.

Gamers will appreciate a processor that can drive popular esports titles at high refresh rates while still handling story-rich AAA games when paired with a modern graphics card. Streamers, hobbyist video editors, and coders benefit from the additional threads, allowing gameplay, content creation, and background compiling to run at the same time without noticeable slowdowns.

A 32 MB L3 cache reduces data wait times, and native PCIe 4.0 support unlocks more bandwidth for high-speed NVMe storage and next generation graphics cards. Because the chip uses the widely adopted AM4 socket, builders can drop it into many B450, B550, X570, or A520 motherboards—often with nothing more than a BIOS update—making it a cost-effective path for breathing new life into an existing system.

The processor carries a 65 W thermal design, so heat and power draw stay manageable. AMD includes its Wraith Stealth cooler in the box, offering reliable, quiet cooling that lets first-time builders skip the search for an aftermarket solution. Support for up to 128 GB of dual channel DDR4 memory provides plenty of headroom for demanding multitasking or virtual machines.
