AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT
A six-core Zen 3 APU for AM4 with a 7-CU Radeon Vega iGPU, announced in January 2024 at $125. It keeps the Cezanne die's 16 MB of L3 cache and PCIe 3.0 and ships with a Wraith Stealth cooler, which suits a budget build or HTPC that has no graphics card.
Pros
- Six Zen 3 cores and 12 threads at a $125 launch price
- Integrated Radeon graphics (7 CUs, up to 1900 MHz) let a PC run without a graphics card
- Wraith Stealth cooler included in the retail box
- 65 W default TDP with a 45-65 W configurable range
- Uses the AM4 socket and dual-channel DDR4 up to DDR4-3200
Cons
- PCIe 3.0 only, so a PCIe 4.0 graphics card or SSD runs at Gen 3 speeds
- 16 MB of L3 cache, half of the 32 MB on non-APU Zen 3 chips such as the Ryzen 5 5600
- 4.4 GHz peak boost is below the 4.6 GHz of the Ryzen 5 5600GT
- Integrated Vega graphics share system DDR4 memory, which limits gaming performance compared with a discrete card
