It seems like a lie, but It’s been over three years since AMD introduced the integrated Ryzen 5000 in October 2020 and hand-in-hand with the Zen 3 architecture. Over the years, we’ve seen the tech company refresh its design with new chips, some price hikes and some price drops, and other moves that ultimately served to make the lineup still fully valid today and also the best choice for many users.

So although we are seeing the arrival of the 7000 series in 2022, Ryzen 5000s are still very much valid in 2024 and to confirm this, AMD took advantage of its presence at CES 2024 in action with the Radeon RX 7600 5, which serves to further extend the life of the Zen 3 architecture and, of course, motherboards with socket AM4, to the joy of their owners.

At the top of the table these new chips are without a doubt Ryzen 7 5700X3Dan integrated device that, as you might have already guessed from its name, joins AMD’s family of integrated devices using 3D V-Cache stacked memory technology that allows it to be housed in a package. 100 megabytes of buffer memory. It has eight cores (for 16 threads) and can scale up to 4.1 gigahertz in turbo mode, and yes, its TDP is 105 watts. As has already been demonstrated with previous models that use AMD’s stacked cache technology, we are facing a processor that will be especially useful in systems designed primarily for playing games. AMD compares it to the Intel Core i5 13600K in the table below.

The next processor we find is Ryzen 7 5700, an integrated chip that AMD is building to compete with the Intel Core i5 12400F, a very balanced and versatile chip that offers very good value for money, even more so considering that it includes a Wraith Spire cooler. In this case, we also find an octa-core design for 16 threads, but here we see a higher speed than the 5700X3D, since this 5700 can scale up to 4.6 gigahertz. It has 20 megabytes of buffer memory and has a TDP of 65 watts.

And finally we find Ryzen 5 5600GT and 5500GT, two APUs with Radeon graphics that round out what we’ve been able to find in the 5000G series so far. Both models have six cores for twelve threads and also share 19 megabytes of buffer memory and a TDP of 65 watts. The main difference is that the 5600GT has a maximum operating frequency of 4.6GHz, while the 5500GT remains at 4.4GHz. And like the 5700, they also feature a Wraith Spire cooler.

Availability and prices

As you can see in the image below, which also shows a summary of the specifications of the four new Ryzen 5000 series integrated devices, they will debut in the market next January 31stand their prices will be as follows:

• Ryzen 7 5700X3D: $249.
• Ryzen 7 5700: 175 dollars.
• Ryzen 5 5600GT: 140 dollars.
• Ryzen 5 5500 GT: 125 dollars.
