Published 27 Nov 2022

The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 is currently available for £80 / $80 and includes the Steam version of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection. After a less than favourable launch, this 6-core processor finally seems like a far more tempting option, so it is worth it. 0:00 Intro, Price, Setup and Limitations 1:24 What Else Is There at This Price?

@cov_.g97022 years ago I’ve seen the 5500 going for 80-95 USD a lot recently. If you don’t mind spending afew extra dollars, I think the performance uplift might be worth it. But this is by no means a terrible buy for a 6 core cpu in late 2022-early 2023,however going for a bit newer cpu will for sure give you some headroom to focus more on a gpu upgrade in the future. ... 251

@ScottGrammer2 years ago A couple of weeks ago I built a productivity PC for a client, based around this chip. I used it because I got it on sale for a very reasonable price (about $70). It performed really well, scoring almost 10,000 in Cinebench R23, and of course the end user will not ever work it that hard. ... 138
@

@darianlee11 months ago you prolly don't realize it, but you're quite literally the best reviewer because of the realistic setups and builds and you aren't fast to throw shade on hardware which makes most buyers from outside of the USA or UK more settled when it comes to buying. ... 12
@

@AmartharDrakestone2 years ago In my case, the 5500 is roughly the same price as the 4500. Though I think I'll splurge a bit and go for the 5600, since it's not much more expensive than both of those. Should be a nice boost from my 1400 :P 112
@

@marianthewinner2 years ago My old computer was
i7-2600k
R9 370 4Gb
It was good, but I felt the need for an upgrade, and I decided to change to
Ryzen 5 4500 (It was in Romania at a price of £87.41)
Gtx 1660 Super
And I can say that he behaves brilliantly. ... 68
@

@SuperDeadlypenguin2 years ago Just bought a Ryzen 5 5600G and a motherboard for about $250 through Amazon. The CPU was just $120, less than half of what I paid for a 7700K some years back. AMD's been killing it these past few years. Awesome vid keep it up! ... 21
@

@vlmxs2 years ago Your vid is just in time! Thank you :)
@

@BenchmarksIT2 years ago Recently built a friends' PC base off of the 5500 (around 100 euros), this CPU is very quiet and cool even with the stock cooler, and alongside a RX 6600 it performs really good, all around an amazing cheap build for 1080p 144hz great performances.
Plus a used A520M motherboard bought for around 35 euros , which was an awesome deal ... 39
@

@philtkaswahl21242 years ago In the Philippines its CPU-motherboard bundle is being listed at about 2,000 to 3,000 PHP (35 to 52 USD) cheaper than 10th or 12th Gen i3 and i5 bundles as well as older generation Ryzen 5 bundles at local online shopping options. So it can make sense as a cheap upgrade to people with much older i3, i5, or Ryzen 3 systems here at least. Two to three thousand PHP is no insignificant amount here, especially to budget PC builders. ... 83

@beanbag80202 years ago This video is absolutely brilliant. It was really the final push I needed to upgrade my Ryzen 7 1800x. To a 5600X. 32

@toomanydogs15273 weeks ago This man has one of the best channels when you are in the market for buying things, especially after a few years when things are actually affordable. Straight to the point, no cunty clickbait, just facts. Love it.

@andystech1012 years ago Great little budget CPU I'm using for all my sub £500 builds at the moment! £75 at CCL as I write this! Yes, there's limitations but hay just slap a 5600x or something in down the line and happy days! Great video as always 😁 ... 6
@

@chandlerrr61772 years ago I was able to get mine for $80. And along side it, got a GTX980 4gb for 50 bucks!! And let me tell you, its a lot better than my previous specs that consisted of an Anthlon X4950, and a GT1030 2gb ddr5. Thanks for making this vid btw, it helped me alot deciding what cpu to pick to replace my x4950 while also staying on a tight budget. ...
@

@FabianReyesBahamon2 years ago YES!!!! This is the CPU one I am following to pair with a RX6600! Just need the money to do it 😂🏆 161
@

@jonathansoko10852 years ago Cool. Proudly still using my R5 2600 6 core and im happy to say it still kicks ass in 2022 and almost 2023. Been playing gotham knights which kicks pc's asses, with my 5700xt aswell and on medium settings and fsr enabled, im a damn fine robin. If i can continue to play AAA games on medium settings (sometimes high depending on the game) between 30-60 fps then im more than happy. Its been like 4 years now and id say thats good money spent. ... 36
@

@karkovb15222 years ago My board is an ASrock A320M-HDV and I have went from Ryzen 3 1200 to a Ryzen 5 5600.
I know this board is not the best for it but knowing it works just fine after I've updated the BIOS and seeing how much of a jump my perfomance got increased with the same board really amazes me.
I'm sure somebody coming from a first-gen Ryzen would see a lot of improvement going to a 4500. ... 60
@

@elarmino65902 years ago In the Argentine market the
4500 is 75 USD
5500 is 85 USD
5600 is 90 USD
5600X is 120 USD
You have to look at your local market, because the price/value disparity is absurd in some countries ... 4
@

@samsnowball11592 years ago I bought this CPU a few months ago when I built my first PC and it holds up great in gaming and even light video editing and CAD. 12
@

@SADXANGELlast year This CPU is 85 euros new here in Belgium, while the 3600 can be found for 95 both including shipping. Considering you get PCIe 4.0 and generally slightly better performance with the 3600, it seems like the better choice in this market. ... 6
@

@rickyyoung2 years ago We got my nephew the 5600 as an upgrade from his 1600AF for christmas. Should be a nice boost to his 1% lows :) 2
@

@Beisepimp2 years ago I would also got with the bigger brother 5500, it's only around 15€ more expensive, but the performance far better. :') 7
@

@RevDrCCoonansr2 years ago The 4500 should be an entry level, $50 part like an Athlon. This video shows that. Thank you. 3
@

@BillyBoy4442 years ago I think the 4600G makes a good case for itself as well because someone on a budget could get away without a Graphics card for a while.... Just have to be careful with the Bios on used A320 boards as some of them are still on their original Bios so you could end up with a no boot situation unless you have a 2600 or 3600 or similar to flash the Bios and in some cases even a 3600 won't boot if the Bios is too old. ... 3
@

@hariskhan012 years ago R5 5600+$250 6650XT is an insane value! 6650XT is a little bit behind the 3060Ti, which is in the $400-500 range. 20

@potatopoweredchannel30812 years ago Eyyy, my very CPU on your videos. It's a nice CPU to have on a budget - ive paired it 1660s - lovely experience 😁👌

@MrCrackmountain2 years ago I’ve got this deal in the states too, is the game included through Steam or some other application?
@

@pokepokepoke642 years ago Hey I have a gtx 1080 and I’m thinking about pairing this with it. I think it’ll be a good combo 2
@

@Josue316272 years ago For a new processor in the current market it's a solid option at $80. It also has a good upgrade path. 1
@

@kia10442 years ago At launch for MSRP the CPU wasn't very appealing. I managed to snag one with the Uncharted Collection for $70 for a budget PC build for a cousin from my local microcenter.
Managed to piece together a respectable entry level PC build with a $60 B450 board, $40 16GB of DDR4-3200, $100 Used 1660ti, $35 EVGA PSU, $50 1TB NVME SSD, and $40 mATX case.
Yes the 5600 and the 5500 are better but if you're within a limited budget, this will work absolutely fine. Just pair it with a lower end GPU.
Also, don't forget you do still have an upgrade path on AM4 with this CPU. Can easily get close to what you paid MSRP for it on eBay down the line to upgrade to a 5700x or something if you absolutely need it. ... 3
@

@rosiello5100last year I've done a build for a friend of mine with a 15 years old pc, who couldn't afford an upgrade to a more modern PC. I've managed to scrape a system with leftovers: a Ryzen 5 4500, an RX 580 8GB, 16 GB DDR4 3200MHZ and a decent nVME. He's able to play any game with decent details in 1080p and the processor is holding up nicely to the challenge with no issues whatsoever. For the price and the allotted budget it was a very pleasant discovery and he's very satisfied with it. And he's still able to do some upgrade with no effort. ...

@lombredeshakuras14812 years ago This is definitely a video I needed at the moment. I run a 1060 6Gb with a Ryzen 3 1200 and if it was cool the first years in 2017 to 2019, some games started to struggle on the CPU side and made games a lot harder to run. In the meantime, I got interested in 3D, Unreal Engine and some other productivity app and 4 cores 4 threads aren't enough to run smoothly. I was looking for a cheap but decent performance CPU to get on the same motherboard and Ryzen 4500 and 5500 caught my attention. I was wondering if the 4500 would be a better choice over 5500 and it seems true.
This is the last upgrade of this rig, next time I'll get something completely new ... 6
@

@toomanydogs15273 weeks ago Got one of these just this week for around $95. Really capable for the price. Performance gains have been fairly marginal in everyday stuff, but some CPU-bound games have almost doubled in framerate compared to my old Ryzen 5 1600. ...
@

@janemba422 years ago Here in Australia there are massive sales on 5000 series Ryzen. A 5900x is $579 down from $899, that is nuts.

@dahabs1232 years ago hello
i just wanted to thank you
i started watching your vids awile ago with a ddr2 computer i got for 60$
got a newer one that cost more but couldnt get sound from the board.
found a thermotech armour 90 with all the fixings,a little spray in the fan and reseating of the ram...got me something cheap that sounded like a jet.
now the old one i was trying to fix,feels like a toy.
but let me tell ya,ill miss that hp p07.
one day she might live again,but ill have to swap out the cpu.meh dont wanna.
so thanks. ...

@alainmilette64602 years ago I considered this very upgrade for my 2600k, elected on ordering a 3600 off ebay in the end. Supposed to be coming today or tomorrow in fact!

@juanduque79832 years ago i wonder if this would work on a AsRock A320 board, currently using a ryzen5-1600 and could use an upgrade
@

@pooksthepossum2 years ago As much as I love this channel and have been subbed and watching for a few years now I have to say this. Your formula for your videos needs to be updated to be more interesting and fun (Like Dawid Does Tech) and less like a college professor lecture half way through the video until the bell rings. I'm only saying this because far too often I have found myself enjoying the first half of nearly all your vids and then I end up clicking off some point in the middle to go watch something else. Still tho, much love always. 🐨 ... 1
@

@alchemik6662 years ago Interestingly, in Poland this one is now just a little bit cheaper now than Ryzen 5500, which is not amazing (mostly on par with the old Ryzen 3600), but with the price drops also became one of the most attractive low-budget CPUs. I'd probably go for 5500 building a budget AM4 rig right now, the higher clocks and extra 8 MB of cache memory should give it a lot more longevity/some limited upgrade potential. ... 9
@

@RANDOMNATION9072 years ago Have you reviewed the RX 6700 10GB (non-xt)?
@

@redragongaming2 years ago I have a question regarding this CPU, would it work with a RAM memory clocked at 2400 Mhz? I am asking this because my CPU which is a Ryzen 5 1600 is showing it's age by having problems with micro stuttering in games. My memory is Kingston HyperX 4 sticks of 4 GB each at 2400 Mhz, i sure hope i don't have to upgrade the memory as well. ...

@uglybob75052 years ago Tempted to get one of these for a cheap build Im doing for my god daughter to pair with a AMD 6500. Free copy of Uncharted !!! Buying now.....thanks for the review Steve 🙂 1
@

@taco3305last year pairing these with a nice b450 board like the gigabyte ultra durable b450 wifi & 16gb of some cheap teamgroup ram is undefeated. Built a ton of builds using this chip with some slightly used rx 5700's (ebay in the states has these for DIRT cheap) and was able to build a beautiful gaming rig for under 600$ And the best part is the am4 platform still has a ton to offer in terms of upgrading if you go with a budget chip. Now is such a good time to build a amd ddr4 setup for the cheap even got a fully addresable RGB case from montech with great airflow. ...
@

@robertkubrick37382 years ago I think you should have compared to another AMD 6 core like a 5500. Games respond differently to different architecture. Also I question whether you had resizeable bar turned off for the intel. 28
@

@sdmamitmahto2 years ago I just bought this at ₹ 8400 ($103) replacing my old R5 2400G (which I built a PC around this and A320 for my brother). Some people are comparing this to i3 12100F ( $120 + expensive Motherboard) which doesn't make any sense.
It's a good CPU if we consider the price of MoBo too. ... 2
@

@rangersmith46522 years ago If a friend asked me to build him or her a general use PC that can occasionally run most games at a playable level, I'd very likely use an R5 4500, included cooler, an A320 board, 16GB of 3200 CL16, a 1TB SATA SSD, an RX 6600 (gotta have at least 8GB of VRAM), a 500W PSU, and a DIY F2 case with a 24" 60-75Hz 1080p VA display. Add a basic backlit keyboard/mouse combo and a set of headphones with a mic. Install Windows 10 with an OEM key, and that friend is on the way to being a gamer. All that is brand new parts can be had for $720 US (before tax), roughly $256 more than the entry, bare bones price of Zen4 CPU, cooler, mobo, and DDR5 alone. It would sufficiently impress anyone who's never had a gaming PC at all. ... 1
@

@CursedDepartmentEastOfficelast year I swear if you listen to the average PC/gaming youtuber, you'd think half of the CPU's and GPU's on the market run Pacman at 20 FPS and are crimes against humanity. But then when you check the benchmarks they're actually pretty good. Notably flawed, but still pretty good for normal people who don't spend 3000 USD on a PC.
For most normal people, 1080p High-Ultra at 100 FPS is already a great experience. The question is at what price is it worth it. And the answer to that will depend on your country and local market. Only Youtubers like RandomGaminginHD and LowSpecGamer understand this. ... 1
@

@yetson2 years ago The Ryzen 5 4500 didn't see a worldwide release, I believe it was an OEM only SKU in Australia and you couldn't buy it in retail boxed form. If you're in Australia, right now on Amazon USA it's priced at AU$135.01 / US$90 / £75, which isn't great value.
On the other hand there is plenty of stock of the older Ryzen 5 3600, and it was being cleared out for as little as $111 on Singles Day (equivalent to £62 Pounds or US$75). The Ryzen 5 5600G is however is priced just a little more and it outperforms the Ryzen 3600 by a fair margin so that's also a strong choice for anyone that's building a PC and also wants integrated graphics to go with it.
Just beware that both the G series processors and the Ryzen 5 5500 doesn't have PCIE 4.0 support. ... 3
@

@couriersix24432 years ago I always enjoy seeing the lower end parts get covered, since most reviewers wrote off the 4500 as "junk" pretty much immediately at launch. Still, while it might not be the best 6-core you can buy or the best value to some, it has its place in the PC world. It's far from the worst CPU out there if you can find it even cheaper than its current msrp, or better yet as part of some deal with a decent AM4 board if you're building for the first time. ... 4

@IceClawz.2 years ago i was looking at getting a ryzen 5 and saw this few months back but decided not to get it as it seemed to not be a good deal as its performance isn't as good as the 3600. didn't want to waste my money upgrading from a r5 1600 so the 4500 was never gonna be chosen. i ended up getting a second hand 3700x that came with the wraith prism cooler for £150 . ... 2

@erikbritz80952 years ago Please mate compare this R5 4500 to a i5 4th gen or i7 4th gen or higher cpu think i5 4690K OC'd or i7 4930K vs this cheap Ryzen 5 it would be very cool to see if the upgrade is worth it. 1

@

@tty1172 years ago I ordered a 5500 for 87.24$ total after tax and shipping. 4500 is cool but neither offer pcie 4.0 which I don’t mind because I’m gonna try dropping it in my old crosshair vi hero. Seeing as those cores are stronger than my old 1700x.. and I’ll drop my 1700x in some little mini build. Hope what I read online with the bios updates supporting that chip on that board actually working would be awesome ... 1

@certs7432 months ago Definitely an interesting option. And if I was still running my i5 6500 I probably would consider it. But I got a great deal on a Ryzen 5 1600 AF and in comparison it doesn't seem like it would be worth it.
It is newer tech and has a higher base clock but also half the L3 cache of the 1600 AF. ...

@sd1rager2 years ago I had the pleasure of putting a build together with one. At $139 it made no sense, at $79 its a steal. It performs similar to a 3600 minus pcie gen 4. It’s basically a 2600af. 1

@

@lilsoonerfaninmo2 years ago The fact this is one of 2 videos I've seen even acknowledge this CPU is kinda fascinating in its own way
But on the 4500, as a owner of this very chip, for a budget 1080p 60 fps rig, I'd be pressed to recommend elsewhat for this hypothetical rig (altho if a RTX 30 or even 40 series card is even in consideration, then why is this your starting point?)
Basically, if you can keep your expectations in check, I'd be lying if I'd say I wouldn't recommend this, especially for a first build ... 1
@

@TheSpotify952 years ago as menioned in the video, seems like a great way to get into gaming on the cheap, with a lower end graphics card, or a great way of upgrading an older system. I'd probably say the ideal GPU to pair with this would be something like a 1650/1660 series card, as with even low end 30 series cards (and the same would likely go for a 20 series card), the CPU then becomes the limiting factor.
Something like this would be great for an upgrade to my i5-4460/16GB/960(2GB) build, but currently, the graphics card is the limit, and by upgrading that, the CPU (i5-4460) becomes the limit, and by getting a CPU like this (along with a new MB and some DDR4), all you're short of is a PSU, some storage, and a case, and you've completely built yourself a brand new PC. So it doesn't make sense to upgrade my older system when I would ultimately be building a whole new system anyway. And when I do build a new system, I'm going "no expenses spared"; think i9-13900k, 128GB DDR4 (or DDR5), 3090Ti, 1200W PSU, etc etc... ...

@in3rt1a2 years ago I want to edit 4k smartphone videos on my PC. I'm currently using an old pc with i3 3220 and 8gb ddr3 ram with no discrete graphics card. Will this CPU be good enough for my use case scenario?

@markboz33662 years ago Bought this as a place holder but I've found no reason to change it.
Bit of a strange sounding setup, it started in a system with a 3060 and 32gb ram.
I was going to change it for a 5800x but found in my use case it was hardly breaking a sweat. So the money I saved not getting a 5800 and through the sale of my 3060 I put towards a 3090.
For me it's all about the gpu, vram and system ram. This cheap thing is controlling them like a boss, with headroom to do other things while my work is rendering.
One thing I would say if you're thinking about getting one is that it's not got much of a cache, which could cause dips if you're a gamer and the amount of pcie lanes is limited, so you'd have to keep a check on what you have plugged in. Going to 8x on your gpu isn't the end of the world but 4x will make a difference. ... 3

@galacthicc6932 years ago The Ryzen 5 5500 is only $20 more from what I'm seeing, would it be worth the extra $20? 1
