It has only been a few weeks since AMD launched its latest Ryzen 9000 processors, the company has also quietly released new and affordable AM4 CPUs — the AMD Ryzen 5 5600T and 5600XT. These chips are available now on Amazon, with the former priced at $186.58, while the latter costs $192.08 as of this writing. This pricing makes them the most affordable processors from the Team Red at launch, although you could now get the Ryzen 5 5600X for $125.50 on Amazon.
Both new processors still get the 6 cores and 12 threads, similar to the 5600 and 5600X that they seem to be replacing. However, the 5600T now has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz — 200 MHz faster than the 5600, while the 5600XT gets 100 MHz more than the 5600X, allowing it to hit 3.8 GHz. Aside from that, their TDPs and L3 cache remain the same at 65 watts and 32MB respectively.
