AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT Processor (6‑Core, Zen 3, AM4)
£99.95
Product Description
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT is a capable 6‑core, 12‑thread desktop processor built on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne), offering smooth performance for gaming, productivity, and everyday multitasking. Featuring integrated Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics, it’s ideal for budget-friendly AM4 builds that don’t require a discrete GPU while maintaining plenty of processing power for modern workloads.
How it compares to the Ryzen 5 5600G: The 5500GT serves as an updated refresh of the popular 5600G. While both share 6 cores, 12 threads, 16MB L3 cache, and integrated Vega 7 graphics, the 5500GT offers a slightly lower base clock (3.6 GHz vs 3.9 GHz) while matching the 5600G’s 4.4 GHz Max Boost frequency. Thanks to minor architectural optimizations, the 5500GT delivers virtually identical gaming performance with a marginal 1–3% performance uplift in multi-threaded productivity tasks over the older 5600G.
This CPU has been checked for health, thermal stability, and overall performance under load. It’s a great choice for budget‑friendly AM4 builds, office systems, compact HTPCs, and general‑purpose home setups.
