AMD® Ryzen™ 5 5500F

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture (7 nm process). It launched in Sep 2026. Clocks run from 3.0 GHz base to 4.4 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.2 MB per core). The chip drops into the AM4 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), AMD SEV.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F scores 3,323 in single-core performance and 21,144 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,382 for overall performance, 18,396 for productivity performance, 17,611 for creator performance, 21,012 for engineering performance and 15,255 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,524 per core, 1,762 per thread and 325 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,040. Its performance index is 104, so its overall performance is 4% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 5500F scores 69,039 in integer math, 39,783 in floating-point math, 267,601 in compression, 16,108 in cryptography, 1,010 in physics simulation, 18,940 in vector SIMD, 61 in the prime sieve and 27,326 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 17% above in integer math, 13% below in floating-point math, 17% above in compression, 40% above in cryptography, 7% below in physics simulation, 22% above in vector SIMD, 9% below in the prime sieve and 21% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 family, uses the Zen 3 architecture, carries the codename Vermeer and is manufactured on a 7 nm process. It launched in Sep 2026.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F has 384 KB of L1 cache, 3 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 19.4 MB of cache, or 3.23 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 3 MB and L3 at 16 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F uses the AM4 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 24 PCIe lanes.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F has a rated TDP of 65 W.
