We’ve already had Nvidia release their 30-series GPUs (even if the launch was a disaster), and AMD is next up with their latest Zen 3 CPUs. And, don’t forget, their Big Navi GPU is just on the horizon too!

Today, we’re going to focus on their budget offering, the 5600X.

AMD Ryzen 5600X
The 5600X might be the budget offering from the 5000 series, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth overlooking. Priced at just under $300, it’s more expensive than its Intel counterpart, but if rumors are to be believed, will bring a better performance along with it. The 5600X comes with 4.6GHz Clock Boost, 35MB Cache, 65W TDP, and 6 cores/12 threads which all come together to make this an excellent budget gaming CPU.
