### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMD's best CPU in 2022.
*by A***E on 2 December 2022*

I know the 5800X3D is being touted as the 1080ti of CPUS (tomorrows performance for today's prices, etc etc) and, indeed, that is a fantastic CPU. BUT don't sleep on the R5 5600! For 600 AED/160 USD as I purchased it in September of 2022, it is an absolute budget powerhouse, matching the i5 12400 in gaming and blowing my old R5 1600 AF out of the water. I nearly doubled my performance in synthetic benchmarks, and in games more than doubled my FPS (went from ~140 to rock solid 300 fps in Apex Legends at 1080p high with a 6700XT). Its efficient too, consuming around 90W maxed out in games and thus is perfect for itx systems. I expect this CPU to easily last me 5 years and a couple of GPU upgrades before it starts becoming a bottleneck. If you are planning on building a new system with a midrange GPU, don't be afraid of investing in the "dead" AM4 platform as its much better value than the latest and greatest right now.
