AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D CPU Review & Benchmarks: Last Chance Upgrade

Sponsor: Lexar Ares DDR5 RAM on Amazon AMD surprise launched the Ryzen 5 5600X3D exclusively with the retailer Microcenter. This is AM4’s last big upgrade, coming in at $230 for a CPU that competes even with AMD’s own R7 5800X3D. These benchmarks include tests for the 5600X3D vs. the i5-13600K, R7 5800X3D, R7 5700X, R5 5600X, and more. We look at the best gaming CPUs in 2023 compared against AMD’s newest CPU, and the 5600X3D lands as one of the best budget gaming options right now. It’s a fiercely competitive market, and AM4 being on cheaper motherboards with cheaper RAM makes a big difference in total system cost. We’re reviewing this more as a drop-in upgrade rather than from the perspective of a total new build (although consider both in the conclusion) as a result of the unique nature of this launch. The AMD R5 5600X3D’s release date is July 7, 2023.
