Best Budget Cpu Out There!

Best Budget Cpu Out There!
If you are here wondering if you should switch to amd, the answer is yes! It fells amazing and is future proof because of the extra cores in it. Even though it is a dead socket! Overall amazing cpu and it can be paired with a gpu up to a 4070 super! I just paired it with a RX 7600

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a good CPU especially at this price point.
Reviewed in Canada on December 10, 2023

Could this CPU perform better? Yes. In fact some of what they did with this CPU is somewhat surprising and can only be left up to 'it must have been costs and revenue' as to why they chose to do what they did with it in respect to their other options in this lineup. That being said, the 5500 is still a great choice for most people. It is going to work great for gaming. The only issue you may run into is that it will always be running at 100% when gaming at over 1440p. Even at 1440p though it will be able to give you the 144hz you're looking for on your monitor. Some games it won't but those games have other motives like COD for example always using tons of resources, looks terrible and every year consistently is 'unoptimized'. That program is running things behind the scenes there is no question about that. Just about every game though including COD is playable with this CPU. Don't find yourself paying ridiculous amounts more money for 5-10% increases in performance. This CPU is the best bang for the buck at this given time.

Was delivered quicker then my board and was a great price. Decent chip for the games I play. Massive upgrade from what I was using. Would be great for someone with a low budget. Stock cooler keeps it fairly cool.

This CPU is readily available on Amazon for $120 every day of the week. Comes with stock cooler which is great starting ground for a CPU like this. Pair it with a mid-range GPU and it will play most games on 90-100+ FPS.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beast in Disguise with this Price

This Processor to many people on the outside, may just seem like an everyday use one. When in reality much like the Series AMD has always used where it has an "X" or a "G" on the end of the model, it's not associated to gaming or even for heavy workloads like AutoCAD. When in reality this CPU for the asking price of under 100$ is an absolute tank.

There are a few problems, but that's mainly related to OS stuff. A good example is Windows 10 this was idling at 47C-50C with no load, just the OS. I believe that cause Windows has become unbelievably bloated and had it doing unnecessary loads. The other is that, the stock fan it comes with, don't trust it. The fan given is alright at best, but once your PC start multi-tasking and putting a proper load on it, even worse when Turbo is on. The fan will not keep at all. Plus the Thermal compound on the fan, don't trust that as well. Not enough paste on it, so wipe it off with alcohol and use MX-4 or something similiar.

The processor is fully compatible with whatever route you take whether it's virtual machine, Linux, Windows. It has very high performance and damn near an endless possible compatibility. I run on it on Linux, which fixed my load issue and it has been amazing ever since. Especially considering out of the box you are told you have full control of the Processor's speed and power, which is greatly welcomed if you have a power supply that can't handle a full load.

Highly recommended whether it be an upgrade or building a PC, especially if you're short from grabbing the newer series. I can guarantee that this one will carry for quite awhile.

Processador maravilhoso, vale muito a pena, tinha um i3 de 4 geração e nem preciso dizer que o computador mudou da agua pro vinho em desempenho. Rodando perfeitamente na placa mãe A520M K V2 que comprei tbm da China, sem precisar atualizar a bios. Porém tenho que ressaltar a demora absurda na entrega do produto, comprei no começo de novembro com prazo de entrega do dia 21 de dezembro ate o dia 5 de janeiro, chegou somente dia 16 de janeiro. O produto ficou preso em curitiba esperando pagamento de taxa mesmo o anuncio dizendo que as taxas ja estariam inclusas, supresa desagradável, tive que por conta propria descobrir ja que nao fui avisado de nenhuma maneira, taxa pequena, entrei em contato com o vendedor ele prontamente fez o reebolso da taxa paga, responde rapido. Comprem mas atentos na demora, muito devido ao pessimo serviço de entregas do nosso pais, e que podera ficar esperando em curitiba o pagamento de uma pequena taxa.
