The new AMD Ryzen 5 5600F gaming CPU has six cores and 32MB of L3 cache, with a similar design to the 5600X but with lower clock speeds.

AMD has just dropped yet another Socket AM4 CPU, breathing yet more life into the aging platform. The new AMD Ryzen 5 5600F has just been launched nine years after AMD first introduced Socket AM4 in September 2016, meaning you could potentially upgrade a first-gen Ryzen motherboard to a brand new CPU. There is a catch, though, which is that this CPU is currently only available in the Asia Pacific and Japan region, so it may not make it to the US and EU. From the model name, you would be forgiven for thinking the 5600F is basically an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with the integrated Radeon Vega GPU disabled, but there’s more to this chip than the name suggests. The new is based on AMD’s Vermeer silicon, rather than the later Cezanne design. As such, the 5600F has twice as much L3 cache as the 5600G, for example, looking more like a Ryzen 5 5600, but with lower clock speeds. It’s not likely to make it onto our guide to buying the best gaming CPU with these specs, but it’s really interesting to see AMD continuing to produce new AM4 CPUs.
