If we put aside the eternal debate Intel vs. AMD, it must be recognized that the processors of those in red continue to have an excellent performance / price ratio. And if we talk specifically about the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, we can affirm that we are facing one of the best AMD processor choices for gaming equipment. Now, what if we told you that now you can buy it and save you more than 130 Euros compared to its original price? No, you are not dreaming, and then we are going to tell you where you can find it at the best price.
In all generations of processors, we have always had a model from both Intel and AMD that has been considered the best choice for a gaming PC. They are usually processors belonging to the mid-range, which do not deliver as much performance as the TOP models but, in return, have a much more reasonable price. This is the case of the AMD processor that we are going to talk about today, which is even more profitable thanks to an excellent offer that reduces its price by 36%.
The best AMD processor for gaming, on offer
As we have already anticipated before, the offer has to do with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, the best-regarded processor for gaming equipment of this generation from the manufacturer. We are facing a CPU that incorporates 6 physical cores and 12 process threads thanks to the brand’s SMT technology that work at a base speed of 3.7 GHz, but reach a maximum of 4.6 GHz when the equipment needs higher performance.
This processor has a huge advantage over higher-end models, and that is that its TDP is only 65W. This means that even if you decide to use the heatsink AMD Wraith Stealth that AMD includes with the purchase of the processor, you can have it running at a low enough temperature so that it does not suffer from Thermal Throttling, since it does not get too hot. All in all, we would recommend that you buy a good heatsink to keep it at a better temperature, since you will appreciate it in the long run and you will have a lower noise level with it.
Remember that this processor is compatible with AMD socket AM4, and that it still uses DDR4 RAM. This means that it can be an excellent upgrade if you already had an AM4 platform and you want to improve your PC without having to invest in the next AM5 platform that is yet to come, which will incorporate many improvements and new features but will also require you to change your motherboard and RAM memory (remember that it will use DDR5).
Price and availability of the offer
Right now you can find the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with Wraith Stealth heatsink included at a price of 229.98 euros in the Spanish store PcComponentes, a price that represents a discount of 36% in relation to the usual sale price of this AMD processor.
Remember, however, that the units they have in stock for this offer are limited, and that when they are finished, the processor will return to its original price, so if you were hesitating to upgrade your PC now, don’t hesitate and take advantage of this offer because, true, it is really very good.
