AMD’s decision to launch a cheap Ryzen 5 5500F processor priced at only $99 once again proves the amazing viability of the AM4 platform. The new product offers 6 cores and 12 threads on Zen 3 architecture, and most importantly, unlike the regular Ryzen 5 5500, it fully supports the PCIe 4.0 bus.
The move to release such chips amid the current rise in DDR5 memory prices looks like a well-thought-out move to support gamers who want to build or upgrade a cheap system based on existing DDR4 memory. The processor has a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and can be overclocked to 4.4 GHz, which is enough to meet the system requirements of most modern versions and remains a handy tool for economical upgrades.
