AMD Ryzen 5 5605G

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605G is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2025. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The 5605G is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 5605G supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5605G has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 5605G features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.9 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 5605G includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Vega 7. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
