South African PC hardware retailer\u00a0Wootware<\/a>\u00a0has listed pricing for AMD\u2019s new mid-range Ryzen 5000 series processors.<\/p>\n

Unveiled on 15 March 2022<\/a>, the chips are set to compete with Intel\u2019s impressive 12th-gen Alder Lake line-up, the first from the company to feature a 10-nanometre design and use a combination of performance and efficiency cores.<\/p>\n

Intel has put up worthy contenders to AMD\u2019s typical bang-for-buck offerings with aggressively priced chips across its range.<\/p>\n

AMD is hitting back with a selection of processors geared towards budget-focused gamers.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with international availability, Wootware on Monday started offering the Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 5 5600, and Ryzen 7 5700X.<\/p>\n

Its prices compare reasonably well with the manufacturers\u2019 suggested retail price (MSRP) in the US.<\/p>\n

The most affordable of these is the Ryzen 5 5500, priced at R2,999 (incl.\u00a0 VAT), compared to the US MSRP of $159 (R2,324), which excludes VAT and other taxes.<\/p>\n

For that price, you are getting a six-core CPU with a 3.6GHz base clock, 4.2GHz boost clock, and 16MB of L3 cache.<\/p>\n

The Ryzen 5 5600 will set you back R3,799, compared to $199 (R2,909, excl. VAT) in the US.<\/p>\n

This chip features the same number of cores and threads but a slightly higher boost clock speed of 4.4GHz and double the L3 cache.<\/p>\n

The fastest new processor available now is the Ryzen 7 5700X, which has a price tag of R5,499, compared to $299 (R4,367, excl. VAT) in the US.<\/p>\n

It features 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 3.4GHz, boost clock of 4.6GHz, and 32MB of L3 cache.<\/p>\n

The pricing and availability of the new high-end\u00a0Ryzen 7 5800X3D<\/a>\u00a0processor and the four new cheaper 4000 series chips were only available upon request.<\/p>\n

The table below shows the pricing and specifications of the new AMD processor available from Wootware.<\/p>\n
