AMD Processors - Which is Best 🤔💪?

AMD is at the top of our list of the best processors due to the incredible success of the Ryzen 5000 generation. Our top pick for the best AMD CPU right now is the Ryzen 9 5950X because of its incredible 16 cores, low power requirements, and high single-core performance 🚀. There are plenty of other options for AMD fans, though.

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

The Best, most powerful AMD Ryzen Processor 💪

Why should you buy this: It's the highest specced AMD Ryzen desktop processor.

Why we picked the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X:

Sitting on top of the tier is the Ryzen 9 5950X which is a powerhouse and an overpowered chip for most users. It comes with 16 cores and 32 threads that can boost up to 4.9GHz, along with a whopping 72MB of combined L2 and L3 cache. As is the case with most high-end components, the 5950X’s power is clear from the specs, but it takes a little more digging to see its performance benefit in real-world use. It might offer a marginal benefit over the 5900X while running CPU-intensive applications, however, the 5950X shines when it comes to multithreaded performance. In tasks that require a lot of cores, such as hardware encryption and 3D rendering, the 5950X aces the charts and shoots far ahead of the 5900X. Tasks that use a dominant core will see less of a benefit compared to the 5900X.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D

The best AMD processor for gaming 🎯🕹️

PROS	CONS
✅The fastest gaming CPU on the market	❌No overclocking
✅Works with AM4 motherboards	❌Lackluster general CPU performance
✅Solid thermal performance
✅Inexpensive
✅Low power requirements

Why should you buy this: It's the best CPU for gaming, no questions asked.

Why we picked the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D:

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is the same CPU as the Ryzen 7 5800X — an AMD Ryzen chip that is absent from our list. That's because the 3D-stacked model includes an additional 64MB of L3 cache stacked on top of the processor, and that extra bit adds up to make it the best processor for gaming.

It manages nearly a 7% lead over the Ryzen 9 5950X in games, despite costing around $150 less. Even against Intel's flagship Core i9-12900K, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is still around 3% faster in games. It struggles outside of gaming, however. You're getting eight cores and a max boost clock of 4.5GHz, so apps that favor a lot of cores or a high clock speed won't see an uplift from the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Gamers have a lot to be excited about, however. We rarely see such stark improvements in gaming performance from a CPU.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

The best midrange AMD processor 👌

PROS	CONS
✅Great gaming performance	❌Lacks integrated graphics
✅Easy to cool
✅Respectable single and multi-threaded capabilities
✅Bundled cooler

Why should you buy this: It's a great value-for-money processor for PC gaming.

Why we picked the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X:

Priced at around $230, the Ryzen 5 5600X is a great alternative to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D if you're on a budget. While it's one of the cheapest processors out of AMD's current Ryzen 5000 lineup, the 5600X is squarely targeting the mainstream. For the money, you get six cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 3.7GHz, and a boost clock of 4.6GHz. This processor comes with 35MB of combined L2 and L3 cache, which is just 1MB less than the 5800X, which is a $350 CPU.

The CPU uses AMD's Zen 3 architecture, improving instructions per clock (IPC) and memory management. The IPC improvements show clearly in limitedly threaded tasks like gaming. The 5600X can keep up with processors that cost twice as much, sitting near and occasionally passing the 5800X, 5900X, and even some options from Intel. If all you're interested in is gaming, the 5600X is the perfect processor. By comparison, higher-end processors don't offer anywhere near the kind of performance improvements to justify the added cost.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

The best Ryzen CPU with integrated graphics 🚀

PROS	CONS
✅Capable integrated graphics for 1080p gaming	❌No PCIe Gen 4 support
✅Bundled Wraith air cooler	❌Less cost-effective when paired with dedicated GPU
✅Equivalent CPU performance to 5600X

Why should you buy this: It has the best-integrated graphics performance of any desktop CPU.

Why we picked the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G:

If you still haven't got your hands on a graphics card, your best bet is a chip with integrated graphics. The good thing is that such processors are easily available. The Ryzen 7 5700G is currently AMD's best desktop APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) featuring its powerful Zen 3 architecture with Vega-based graphics. Based on the same 7nm process, the CPU includes 8 cores and 16 threads running at a base frequency of 3.8GHz with a boost frequency of 4.6GHz. At the same time, it manages to maintain a fairly low TDP of 65W. As for integrated graphics, it is considered to be the best in class, though the Vega architecture is showing its age. It features a total of eight compute units, 512 GCN cores, and clock speeds of up to 2GHz.
