Last week, I received my new CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 5600G. It is used to replace the old Ryzen 5 2400G.
It is about 50% to 100% performance improvements based on the different program comparisons.
For example:
Cinebench R23 (Single-core)
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is 1021.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 1504. (+47%)
Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core)
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is 4800.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 11077. (+130%)
Passmark CPU (Single-core)
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is 2160.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 3209. (+48%)
Passmark CPU (Multi-core)
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is 8744.
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 19913. (+127%)
So, I think a lot to update the CPU without touching any other parts of my desktop.
I order it on Newegg.ca. The price is $279.99. Plus tax and shipping fee, I paid a total of $319.18.
When I opened the box and took everything out. It looks like below.
Here is AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Specs

This CPU is just on the market in August this year.
Long story short, I opened the PC case after disconnecting the power, remove the cooler, took down the Ryzen 5 2400G. Install the brand new Ryzen 5 5600G, put on the Wraith stealth cooler. Connect the power. Boot.
The motherboard give me a face, said it is a new CPU. I have to go into the BIOS to re-config it and boot again.
OK, after a week of use, I got Windows 11 update notice and I did it. Now I am in Windows 11 to write this post.
