From the retailer

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500F is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor built on AMD's Zen 3 architecture for Socket AM4, with a 3.6GHz base clock rising to 4.4GHz through Precision Boost. Backed by 16MB of cache and a 65W TDP, it delivers strong gaming and multitasking performance without demanding heavy cooling. The F designation means there is no integrated graphics, so a separate graphics card is required.

Estimated Performance

34/ 100

Scored against current processors, where 100 is the strongest one we can score. Calculated from cores and boost clock.

Estimated from manufacturer specifications, not measured. Useful for comparing similar parts; actual performance varies by game, driver and system.

Game requirements

Zen 3 processor. Supports AVX2 and firmware TPM 2.0 (AMD fTPM).

Meets the processor side of the hard requirements of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Battlefield 6, Valorant.

Games that need TPM 2.0 also need Secure Boot, both switched on in the motherboard's settings. On AMD boards, Activision says fTPM firmware version 3.x.0.x needs a BIOS update; check your board maker's support list for that BIOS before updating, in case it no longer lists your processor. Read from the processor's architecture, using AMD and Intel specification pages and each publisher's requirements. Requirements per game
