• Ryzen 5 5600F: the cheapest honest way onto AM4, and what you give up — Six Zen 3 cores with no integrated graphics and no cooler in the box. Why the missing iGPU is the point, where the 16 MB cache actually costs you, and who should still buy AM4 in 2026.
• Ryzen 5 5600X in 2026: the processor that will not go away — AMD's best-selling desktop chip is six years old and still on our shelf. What 32 MB of cache buys over the 5600F, why a Wraith Stealth is in the box, and the one question that decides it.
• Ryzen 5 8500G: build the PC now, buy the graphics card later — An AM5 processor with a Radeon 740M that is genuinely playable at low settings. What the 8500G is really for, the PCIe 4.0 asterisk nobody mentions, and when to spend the extra on an 8600G.

• Ryzen 7 7800X3D: what 96 MB of cache actually does to your frame rate — Eight cores, 96 MB of L3, and a gaming record that newer chips have not comfortably beaten. How 3D V-Cache works, why you cannot overclock it, and the cooling it genuinely needs.
• Ryzen 7 9700X: eight Zen 5 cores, and the case for stopping here — Eight cores and sixteen threads at 65 W. Why the 9700X is the chip we recommend most often to people who game and also work, and the one job where you should buy something else.
• Ryzen 9 7900X: twelve cores, 170 watts, and an honest look at the cooling bill — Twelve Zen 4 cores boosting to 5.6 GHz for rendering, editing and compiling. What twelve cores actually save you, why 170 W changes the rest of the build, and when eight cores is the better buy.
