AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Processor (6C/12T, 35MB Cache, up to 4.6 GHz Max Boost)

Microarchitecture: Built on the Zen 3 core architecture, the Ryzen 5 5600X brought a significant leap in instructions per clock (IPC) over its Zen 2 predecessor. This directly translates to faster single-threaded and multi-threaded performance across a wide range of applications.

Cores / Threads: With 6 cores and 12 threads, the 5600X is designed to handle modern workloads efficiently. It excels in both multi-core tasks like content creation and productivity as well as single-core tasks like gaming.

Base / Boost Clock Speeds: Operates at a base clock of 3.7 GHz and can boost up to 4.6 GHz, delivering snappy responsiveness and high burst performance when needed.

Process Node: Manufactured on TSMC’s 7nm FinFET process, the processor is power-efficient and thermally optimized while delivering high clock speeds and performance.
