One of the Best Budget iGPUs Out There
For $130, I couldn't turn down 6 cores and a beefy iGPU that can run stuff like Fortnite or even-with tinkering-VR at sub 30fps. The included cooler works well, and I had no problems just placing the CPU in the motherboard and slapping the cooler on it. I didn't stress test it, but so far all quiet and low Temps. Definitely a great CPU, might even use it again for a build I'm doing for my older sister.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023
Style: Desktop ProcessorVerified Purchase
I recently upgraded my Ryzen build with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, and it has exceeded all expectations, earning every bit of its well-deserved five stars. This processor, equipped with Radeon Graphics, not only delivers powerhouse performance but also proves to be a cost-effective solution, especially for those looking to save on a separate GPU purchase.

The 6-core, 12-thread design ensures seamless multitasking and responsiveness, handling everything from gaming to demanding applications with impressive efficiency. The Radeon Graphics add a visual punch, providing excellent graphics performance without the need for a dedicated GPU.

Compatibility with my B550 motherboard was flawless, making the installation process a breeze. The unlocked nature of the processor opens up possibilities for customization, allowing me to fine-tune performance to suit my specific needs.

One of the standout features is the significant cost savings. By opting for the Ryzen 5 5600G with integrated graphics, I not only saved money on the initial purchase but also avoided the expense of a dedicated GPU. This makes the processor an excellent value proposition for those looking to build a powerful system on a budget.

In conclusion, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has proven to be a game-changer in my Ryzen B550 build. It seamlessly combines robust performance with cost efficiency, making it an ideal choice for users who want a high-performing processor without breaking the bank on a separate graphics card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice chip, but be careful
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2022
Style: Desktop ProcessorVerified Purchase
Got this when I was building a new PC to replace a five-year-old Ryzen 7 1700X system. The old PC was great performance-wise, I didn't really need to upgrade yet but I was beginning to have crashes periodically ever since moving to dual monitors in late 2020 due to working from home. These were the strangest crashes...no error, no warning, the system would just reboot. It was really annoying, even though with NVMe drives the reboot is quick. It was a mystery whether the problem was caused by the GPU, CPU, memory, the SSD, a driver somewhere, or some combination of all of the above. I figured it was time to pull my system into the modern age with updated interfaces, chip, and motherboard.

With GPUs still being ridiculously overpriced, I targeted the Ryzen 7 5700G as a chip that would give me comparable or better performance than my old system but still give me a more modern technology set without needing a GPU. The old PC had an nVidia 1060 but I'd had good luck with its predecessor when I'd run for five years with an AMD A10 APU chip that played games sufficiently well and absolutely manhandled Windows and office apps. But as luck would have it, the 5700G had been dropping in price during my research phase, and right when I went to buy, the price spiked up. Thanks a lot, irrational market!

Pondering what to do, I read some comparisons of the 1700X to the 5600G, and the 5600G fared ok. It was close in overall performance and much more efficient and used less power. It did have two fewer cores, but I'm not a streamer or heavy video editor, so I figured I'd give it a crack. Amazon had a third party seller that shipped out of Mexico with the best price...I was a little weirded out by that, but the seller came through and the chip is legit and arrived brand new in box with stock cooler, instructions, and foil badge sticker.

You should pair this APU with a good mobo and memory. I chose the MSI B550 MPG Gamer Edge WiFi, and TeamGroup DDR4 3600. The mobo will be critical in determining your possible upgrade paths, and the memory is used by the AMD APUs to help with the graphics. The MSI board will support eventually moving to the 5700G or even 5800 or higher with a GPU.

The 5600G installed easily and worked great on first boot. The MSI board supports the 5600G with BIOS version 17 and above and mine came with version 18 installed. So far the system has been stable with none of the weird crashes. I've not pushed the gaming performance yet, just a couple low-demand games. The most visually demanding was Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris...it was sluggish at 4K but fine at 1080 FHD. I'm also running several browser tabs open. The 5600G cost at about $100 less than the what the 5700G was running at the time. So far so good, and I know there are some easy APU/CPU upgrades available in the future but right now I've no need to do so.

Update 22-Sep-2022: I am completely despondent now. After running beautifully for two weeks, the random reboots when the system is at idle are now happening to this PC just has it had on my old one. I've read every post I could from others that have had similar issues with Ryzen chips and I'm beginning to think it's a driver issue, but I'm still not 100% sure. This is a nice chip but if it's going to keep crashing I simply can't use it; it's just too maddening to walk away and return a few minutes later and the thing has rebooted. I may have to return the chip or even consider switching to Intel. What a disappointment.

Update 24-Sep-2022: Back in action after doing a Windows reset. This is basically reinstalling Windows over your existing install. System is stable again. Very strange. But a few days ago when the issue started it was after I had just gone to the AMD site and installed a bunch of chipset drivers and the Radeon utilities. So I'll stick with the stock drivers Windows installed, and leave the other updates out. The only ones I've applied since getting this PC build are the motherboard BIOS (MSI B550 MPG Gamer Edge WiFi, now currently at BIOS 7C91v1B), various motherboard drivers for the WiFi and Bluetooth, and the MSI Center software so I can easily reference the mobo BIOS and driver versions from Windows. If I get past two weeks without the issue returning then I can say those AMD drivers were likely related, which is unfortunate, if those drivers also bring better performance. But the best feature is stability, so I'll stick with this for now. Also put the star rating to four stars - this is a great performing chip, but that reboot thing is a total bummer when it happens.

Update 08-Dec-2022: Running GREAT. Holding back on the drivers was the answer. System is rock solid now, through games, video streaming, and many browser tabs open. Have since run Fallout 4 just fine (it struggled with my dual monitor setup at first, but I think that's a Fallout thing and not the Ryzen chip) at FHD. I regularly put the system to sleep and wake it later; no problems and I'm getting things done at work and play.

Es increíble el rendimiento que se ofrece por el precio, en especial si consideras que incluye un buen procesador de gráficos que puede con multiples ventanas y tareas de edicion de graficos, audio o video, incluso puede con varios juegos populares, etc.

Ahora que en conjunto con una tarjeta dedicada, puede con la mayoría de juegos AAA en el mercado.

También incluye su ventilador con pasta térmica listo para instalar, imposible encontrar mas valor por tu dinero.

Ótimo processador! Está dando conta de sobra pra tudo q eu preciso. Comprei juntamente com a uma placa mãe da gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 e até agora sem nenhum problema. Como foi meu primeiro Pc ainda tenho muito oq aprender, mas esse tipo de combinação foi a que mais achei entre as recomendações de CPUs com ótimo custo benefício e qualidade. Chegou bem antes da data prevista. Recomendo muito.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best value CPUs out there
Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2023

If you're playing games at 1080p, and not doing insane tasks, this is the right CPU for you. I had one before the one I just bought, and not being nearly as experienced with computers, I never monitored its temperature and it likely toasted itself over time. The new one, however, is working like a charm. If I have a tip for you, it's this.

Step 1: Go to the searchbar on the bottom left and type choose a power plan, and then open.
Step 2: You'll see the balanced (recommended) one. Click change plan settings.
Step 3: Click change advanced power settings.
Step 4: You'll see a list with some plus signs left of various things. Click the plus sign to the left of "processor power management".
Step 5: Click the plus sign next to "maximum processor state".
Step 6: Click the number (I assume it will be 100%) and change it to 99%.

By following these steps, you'll limit the amount of power your CPU receives. Now, this isn't dangerous, provided you don't set the number really low. I first set it to 70% while following a video. Then I slowly increased it to 85%, and I noticed an insane drop in temperature (around 20-30c) while playing various games. Red Dead Redemption 2, for instance, was cooking my CPU beforehand, and then I turned down the variable and the high temperatures were gone. Now, does it affect performance in any way? It....can. The 5600G is a 6 core, 12 thread processor. When setting it to 85%, the base clock of 3.90GHZ dropped to around 3-3.16GHZ for me. I've noticed zero affect on performance. If there is an affect to performance, it would be a few frames in games, MAYBE. If that. And for browsing the web, I have yet to notice anything. Now of course, if you're planning to use the 5600G as an APU solely (if you don't have a graphics card), then I would be a little more careful with lowering the variable. But if you have a graphics card then I wouldn't worry at all. Some people don't recommend the card because "it's not good enough", but how is it not good enough? It shatters web browsing, gaming, streaming, and basically everything that the average PC gamer does on their machine. If we're talking about more advanced activities, then yeah. You might want a CPU that has more cores, or one that is able to reach a higher speed and overclock. If you're planning to build a computer that is just gonna game at 1080p-1440p with some web browsing, Discord and streaming on the side, it's the CPU for you. Just pay attention to your temperatures. The last 5600G I had cooked under my nose. Ryzens get pretty hot.

Je possède ce processeur AMD Ryzen 5 5600G depuis 4 mois maintenant et je suis globalement satisfait de ses performances.

Points positifs :

Performances de jeu correctes : J'ai pu jouer à des jeux comme Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Bleach Brave Soul et Naraka sans problème majeur. J'ai obtenu des fréquences d'images comprises entre 60 et 70 FPS en paramètres graphiques élevés, ce qui est suffisant pour une expérience de jeu fluide et agréable. Il est important de noter que pour les jeux plus gourmands ou la compétition, il est préférable d'opter pour une carte graphique dédiée.
Parfait pour la création de contenu : Le processeur gère sans problème des logiciels de création de contenu comme Photoshop et Clip Studio Paint. J'ai rencontré quelques ralentissements sur Photoshop, mais un simple redémarrage du logiciel a résolu le problème.
Excellent rapport qualité-prix : Ce processeur offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix, surtout si l'on prend en compte le fait qu'il intègre un GPU. Cela permet d'économiser sur l'achat d'une carte graphique séparée.
Faible consommation d'énergie.

Points à améliorer :

Les performances de jeu peuvent être limitées pour les jeux les plus gourmands.
J'ai rencontré quelques ralentissements inexpliqués sur Photoshop.

En résumé, le processeur AMD Ryzen 5 5600G est un excellent choix pour les joueurs occasionnels et les créateurs de contenu qui recherchent une solution performante et économique. Il offre un bon équilibre entre performances, prix et consommation d'énergie.
