AMD R5 5600G
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a Zen 3-based, desktop-grade APU featuring the Radeon Vega 7 graphics adapter. This Ryzen 5 was unveiled in H1 2021. It features six SMT-enabled CPU cores for 12 threads in total, running at 3.9 GHz to 4.4 GHz.

The CPU ships with AMD’s Wraith Stealth cooler as long as it’s not an OEM version.

Architecture
Zen 3-based processors bring a moderate performance boost over Zen 2 generation CPUs. Core counts are left where they were before, while per-MHz performance is getting several percentage points higher.

Ryzen 5 5600G’s CPU cores have access to 16 MB of L3 cache. The processor is compatible with DDR4-3200 RAM and has plenty of PCI-Express 3.0 lanes for connecting graphics cards, SSDs and other devices. Four PCI-Express 3.0 lanes allow for read/write rates of up to 3.9 GB/s, provided a sufficiently fast NVMe SSD is used. PCI-Express 4.0 spec is not supported here, since Ryzen 5 5600G is pretty much a laptop-grade SoC in disguise rather than a “proper” desktop chip, like a Ryzen 5 5600X.

You can replace this Ryzen with a faster CPU easily as it uses AMD’s AM4 socket interface. Another way to get a performance boost would be to overclock the CPU, which is easy to do with AMD’s very own software (many motherboard vendors offer overclocking software of their own as well).
