Today’s best AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU deal

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is one of the best AMD processors when it comes to pricing versus performance. It features six cores that, due to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), are effectively doubled to 12 cores. It also has 32 MB of L3 cache and runs at 3.8 GHz but can boost up to 5.1 GHz.

There are two downsides. First, it lacks 3D V-cache. That’s a method that stacks cache vertically – tripling the CPU’s L3 cache – leading to faster calculations and a nice speed increase. The second is that it tends to run hot for a budget processor, so you’ll need a solid heat sink or general ventilation.
