AMD 4 is expanding its lineup even more, this time with more APUs. Trying to improve the options for budget builds and getting the most out of the least. Now even this many years after the launch of the platform we look at the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT release date, specs, and price.
As part of its CES 2024 announcements, the new Ryzen APUs were one of the many new products AMD had to show off. A surprise to keep the older generation alive for so long, refreshing to see compared to Intel which changes sockets every couple of years. This allows anyone on older hardware to simply swap a couple of things out to get a big boost. So let’s see when the 5 5600GT is coming and what it has to offer, as it might be the best CPU for some to pick up.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT release date
If you’re keen on getting yourself the new APU, the good news is you don’t have to wait too long to get hands-on with it. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is coming alongside all the other big CPUs launching at the end of the month with all the releases you ever wanted.
AMD has confirmed the Ryzen 5 5600GT will be released on January 31st. This comes alongside the other CPUs AMD announced, such as the Ryzen 8000G series for the new gen, 5700X3D for another AM4 boost, and not long after the RX 7600 XT graphics card as well.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT specs
The Ryzen 5 5600GT is offering up a slight upgrade over the 5600G. It comes with incremental changes, that supposedly offer a couple of percent improvements across the board. It comes with the following specs.
- Cores: 6
- Threads: 12
- Platform: AM4
- Frequency: Up to 4.6GHz boost, 3.6GHz base
- Cache: 19MB
- Architecture: Zen 3
- PCIe: Gen 3
- DRAM: DDR4
- TDP: 65W
- Graphics: Radeon
This Radeon graphics running at a slightly higher boost and lower base on the APU provides that difference. Those are the only differences as provided by AMD’s specs, reviews should provide us with a more in-depth look at how much that actually provides.
Ryzen 5 5600GT price
Since the platform is older and not getting much more after it, the APU is coming in with a low price. The 5600GT is coming in with a $140 recommended retail price. Of course that might be different where you buy your processors, but should provide a good lower price upgrade or option for some.
