AMD's Ryzen 5 5600G ($259) is the six-core, 12-thread processor with excellent integrated graphics that the year 2021 has been waiting for. It's a worthy replacement to previous, more affordable, gaming-focused CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, and it delivers some of the highest game frame rates ever from an integrated graphics processor (IGP). The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a serious threat to Intel's competing Intel Core i5-11600K on CPU grunt, and when you factor in its gaming results and Radeon Software compatibility, it really puts the hammer down. It's cheaper than the IGP-less Ryzen 5 5600X ($299 MSRP) and layered in with the highly-capable Radeon RX Vega 7 graphics engine. The Ryzen 5 5600G is another fantastic 7nm AMD desktop processor, whether you're an esports hopeful looking for a low-cost gaming PC or just want a decent IGP-equipped processor for low-lift regular computing. AMD is going to need a bigger trophy case after winning yet another Editors' Choice award.

Pros

• Compatible with Radeon Software suite
• Wraith Stealth cooler included in the box
• Regularly beats out competition from Intel
• Strong gaming performance on integrated graphics
• Priced aggressively in AMD's own CPU stack

Cons

• Slightly slower integrated-graphics gaming performance than Ryzen 7 5700G
• Limited motherboard compatibility at launch

I've had it since Q1 of 2020, and have been able to enjoy many games, one of them being Elite Dangerous. It runs at about 40fps without stuttering on low quality and some medium settings

Pros

• Cheap considering its performance

Cons

• Not so powerful for games
