Amazon is offering the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6-core Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics for $229.99 shipped. For comparison, this processor normally fetches around $275 at Amazon and today’s deal comes within $1 of the all-time low that we’ve tracked there. AMD’s latest processor is designed to help you build an all-in-one gaming system, no graphics card required. That’s right, the Ryzen 5 5600G has built-in Radeon graphics and is made for gaming at 1080p smoothly. We’ve gone hands-on with the 5600G and found that it can play Valorant at 100FPS while recording with ease, and on lower settings it’s even possible to play some titles like Battlefield 2042, though the experience won’t be quite as great there. But, if you’re just starting out and can’t find a graphics card for your system, the Ryzen 5 5600G is a solid starter that can easily be upgraded with any GPU you find down the road. Take a closer look in our announcement coverage then head below for more.
