AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT: What Real Users Actually Think

Considering how a 5600X is more than sufficient for like 95% of everyday tasks for the average person, I bet you Zen 3 will keep chugging along as the budget option.

These CPUs don't really make sense for anyone to buy since they are just what already exists but slightly worse with a not really competitive price. I wouldn't say AM4 is still 'standing strong', more like limping along.

the 5900XT price here is higher than a 5950X, which makes no sense at all

these better be cheap as shit bc theyre competing with a regularly sub $200 5700x3d

These CPUs are like 1% faster than 5600X and 5600 but will be sold for a higher price. Look at 5800XT and 5900XT, both were launched at $30+ higher than their OG counterparts for 1-2% performance difference.

They aren't adding anything faster to AM4, just some different skus to milk the socket until AM5 is in this price bracket.

I was on 5600x and a 7900gre... upgraded to 5700x3d a week ago, massive difference like night and day, the 1% lows are insanely better and i get almost in every game 20-30fps more, and the mouse feeling is more snappy. In apex when you are in the drop ship flying over the map I was cpu bound (140fps) with 5600x now with 5700x3d I'm on 220-240 fps.

I just got a 5700x3d for $135 after tax and shipping as an upgrade from a 5600x.

The 5600T and 5600XT are just refreshes of their respective non-T versions. They are functionally the same and you won't realistically notice the difference between them in games.

Very easy answer: whichever is cheaper. the performance gap over them is negligible. if we're talking about the us, the XT is 40$ more expensive - absolutely not worth it, just get the x

Every 5000 series SKU released after the 5800x3d has been reselling old silicon.

Another day of 'new' AM4 releases just so they can have a slide saying they 'support' AM4 till 2025. Whatever lol.

It is compatible with Windows 11 regardless of what that list says. They don't even have current gen CPUs on the list, it hasn't been updated in a while.

Sell the 5600X for 100$, spend 200$ on a 5700X3D. 100$ come out of your pocket and you get a nice perf boost. If you don't intend to sell your 5600X, then wait for AM5.

Good that they maintain availability. But it doesn't bring anything new to the table, apart from trying to reset new prices.

5600XT is better bang for the buck for the next 3-5 years while it's still relevant. 5700X3D was only a no-brainer back when it was readily available for like $150, not at its nearly $300 price today. Now for many it makes sense to jump right to low end AM5.

G has integrated graphics and is about 10% worse. X is slightly better, like 1-3%. T is the higher clocked versions and not worth any price increase.

The lack of the 5600XT being supported on the Windows 11 list is either because the list hasn't been updated, or it's an error. The 5600XT is fine.

Usually the r5-5600 is the cheapest of the three and it's only about 2% slower for gaming versus the other two. The actual CPUs are all just variants of the same exact chip.

The 5600XT is only 100Mhz faster and that will not be noticeable. Also, if you expect to use it in a future for a NAS or something like that, you should know that the 5600XT does not have support for ECC memory. If you are not going to use it for a NAS or a homelab, that should not matter to you.

I have 2 machines running 5600x and it's compatible with win11. My 3800x plex server is even running win11.

I went from a 5600 to a 5700x3D. In games that are CPU bound it definitely gave a nice boost. And I ended up paying only 20 eur more than what I did for my 5600, so I consider it a win.

I'm a gamer and I love my 5600x, the bottleneck is my 3080 10gb but I still run most games 144 fps 1440p.

X, T, and XT are all roughly the same as a plain old 5600. Just a couple of ticks better.

If they already have an am4 setup it makes sense to just go for the top of the line cpu of that margin.

The only reason to buy these CPU's these days are because they're cheap. Therefore, get whatever is cheaper. They're going to perform the same anyways. I'd even say get the Ryzen 5 5600 non-x if its cheaper too.

I've been running win 11 for years on my Ryzen 5700x. You probably just need to enable secure boot and tpm in your bios.

One of these new CPUs is literally only 1-2% faster than its non-T counterpart (which is basically margin of error), so they're basically just putting it out so they can readjust the price higher without actually having to make a better product to warrant it.

Performance is near identical for the X and non-X versions. If the price is similar go X if you want max performance and plan to get a heatsink. If you don't want to buy a heatsink the non-x usually has one and has a lower TDP and will use less electricity and run cooler on the same heatsink.

I have the older 5600 cpu and it has run win 11 from day 1.

The 5600XT is like 3% faster than the 5600X. For 4 bucks difference, sure, but it won't be a big deal either way. It's not mentioned because it is just a refresh that changes nothing but a minor clock boost, as you noticed.

They're so similar the xt really shouldn't exist

Forget it all get a 5700x3d if you want to stay on am4

These new Ryzen AM4 chips are aimed for people already on AM4 who don't want to upgrade motherboards and spend money on DDR5 memory. I wouldn't recommend these as a fresh new build unless you want to save money.

Yeah prices on the three are a moving target. Essentially buy the cheapest at the time.

Both are similar, but i recommend get a stronger cpu for rtx 3080.

Last 'real' release was 5800x3d in 2022. Every other AM4 cpu since then are re-releases or cut down versions of existing products.

I had to update the BIOS and change some settings in the BIOS before my PC with a 5600X would update to Windows 11 but I have Windows 11 now and it's been fine.

You probably don't have Secure Boot and a TPM 2+ installed/enabled. I haven't had any issues enabling both on Asus/MSI/Asrock boards but the Gigabyte subreddit is filled with folks somehow bricking their boards trying to enable both.

I would save for the x3d. I have one and it's amazing, will wait for am6 without issues!

When is AMD going to stop milking AM4 to death? It's really BS! Seems like it's true AMD using 'longer socket support' is just an excuse so they can sell the same CPU over and over but also more expensive. This is clearly anti consumer!
