AMD Ryzen 5 5500 appears in the Geekbench benchmark

Previously, AMD released seven AM4 platform CPU/APUs in one go, including Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100. Among them, the Ryzen 5 5500 is a Cezanne core based on the Zen 3 architecture. Like the Ryzen 5 5600G, it has 6 cores and 12 threads. Compared with the Ryzen 5 5600G, the base clock and boost clock are reduced by 400MHz and 200MHz respectively, and the GPU is cut.

The Ryzen 5 5500 can be said to be a Ryzen 5 5600G with a lower clock and no GPU, providing more choices for the mid-range AM4 platform. Recently, Twitter user @BenchLeaks found that the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 appeared in the Geekbench 5 benchmark, giving us a better understanding of this CPU.

Paired with the Ryzen 5 5500 is an MSI MEG X570 Godlike motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM. Geekbench 5 benchmark results show that the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 has a single-core benchmark score of 1468 and a multi-core benchmark score of 7629. Compared with the performance of the Ryzen 5 5600G (single-core 1532/multi-core 7725), the gap is not particularly large, the single-core/multi-core gap is 4.4% and 1.3% respectively. If you compare it with the Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel’s Core i5-12400, the gap is a bit bigger.
