AMD announces new affordable processor models

AMD completes its offer of Ryzen processors with six new models for low-budget gaming PCs. In terms of price, these are Ryzen 3 4100, Ryzen 5 4500 and Ryzen 5 4600G with Zen 2 core. Aimed at those who build a PC equipped with a dedicated solution for graphics acceleration, AMD launches the Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 7 5700X, based on the Zen 3 core.

With prices starting at $ 99, the new Ryzen 5 models are recommended for compact PCs, being recommended by the low power consumption and the presence of an integrated GPU. In terms of performance, the quad-core solution, Ryzen 5 4100, might be enough for desktop PCs. PC gamers with a very tight budget should at least start with the Ryzen 5 4500 hexa-core solution, or better, the Ryzen 5 4600G with a faster GPU.

Priced at $ 159, the Ryzen 5 5500 makes the switch to a newer-generation Zen 3-based hexa-core CPU, but the lack of an integrated graphics solution is worth considering for those who don’t already have a dedicated video card. . Priced at $ 199, the Ryzen 5 5600 also offers higher frequencies and more cache, both of which help improve gaming performance. At $ 100 more expensive, the Ryzen 7 5700X solution is an octa-core CPU with overclocking support and frequencies almost identical to the top 5800X solution.
