About 12 sales a week in the four weeks to 27 Oct.
Before you buy or sell a used Ryzen 5 5500
Although it shares a 65W rating and six Zen 3 cores with the 5600, the Ryzen 5 5500 uses Cezanne silicon with 16MB of L3 cache and PCIe 3.0 instead of 32MB and PCIe 4.0. Those two processors are separate parts.
This 12-thread chip boosts to 4.2 GHz, lacks integrated graphics, and shipped with a Wraith Stealth cooler. Because it launched in 2022, check that your AM4 motherboard has a compatible BIOS installed before swapping CPUs.
