AMD® Ryzen™ 5 5600XT

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture (7 nm process). It launched in Oct 2024. Clocks run from 3.7 GHz base to 4.7 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. 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 5600XT scores 3,466 in single-core performance and 22,254 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 8,783 for overall performance, 19,318 for productivity performance, 18,479 for creator performance, 22,115 for engineering performance and 15,962 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,709 per core, 1,855 per thread and 342 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,089. Its performance index is 109, so its overall performance is 9% 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 5600XT scores 70,991 in integer math, 40,465 in floating-point math, 256,794 in compression, 15,924 in cryptography, 1,319 in physics simulation, 17,408 in vector SIMD, 143 in the prime sieve and 26,681 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 21% above in integer math, 12% below in floating-point math, 13% above in compression, 39% above in cryptography, 21% above in physics simulation, 12% above in vector SIMD, 113% above in the prime sieve and 18% 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 5600XT has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.70 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT 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 Oct 2024.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT has 384 KB of L1 cache, 3 MB of L2 cache and 32 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 35.4 MB of cache, or 5.90 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 3 MB and L3 at 32 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 90% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 128 GB of memory and uses 2 memory channels. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT uses the AM4 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 24 PCIe lanes.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT has a rated TDP of 65 W.
