AMD released the Ryzen 5 5500 in 2021 for US$159. The processor is a cut-down Ryzen 5 5600G with the iGPU disabled and clock speeds reduced. The result is a chip that often performs on par with the Ryzen 5 5600G but losses out to the less expensive Core i3-12100 in gaming, making the processor a bad deal at its retail price.
