Ryzen 5 5500 vs 5600 vs 5600X - Which one is better for gaming?

Test new Ryzen 5 5500 vs 5600 vs 5600x - Test in 10 Games AMD is launching 6-core Ryzen 5 CPUs: 5600 and 5500. Both SKUs have SMT enabled (so they have 12 threads). There is a small difference in clock speeds though: the 5600 has 3.5/4.4 GHz clocks whereas the 5500 comes with 3.6 and 4.2 GHz frequencies for base and boost respectively. It would also appear that 5500 features 16MB of L3 Cache, while 5600 comes with 32MB. This is likely because 5500 is based on Cezanne silicon, while 5600 is based on Vermeer. - System: Windows 10 MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio - Out Of Stock - 00:00 CS GO 00:29 Cyberpunk 2077 00:49 Diablo 2 RE 01:01 Witcher 3 01:36 Ghost Wire Tokyo 01:54 Fortnite 02:15 RDR 2 02:37 Guardians of the galaxy 02:58 Horizon Zero Dawn 03:22 MSFS 2020 -
