The Pentium Gold G5600 is one of Intel's entry-level Desktop processors. It was released in 2018 with 2 cores and 4 threads. With base clock at 3.9GHz, max speed at 3.9GHz, and a 54W power rating. The Pentium Gold G5600 is based on the Coffee Lake 14nm family and is part of the Pentium Gold series.

Now, we're asking ourselves whether or not the Intel Pentium Gold G5600 finally dethrones the A6-7480 as the de facto ruler of the mainstream processors. Ultimately, it depends: the Pentium Gold G5600 doesn't reach the same single-core performance as AMD, but we're starting to see more games adopt multi-threaded CPUs, so that doesn't matter as much.

We covered the deep dive details of the Coffee Lake chip design in our Intel Pentium Gold G5620 and Pentium Gold G5500 review, so head there for more information on the Pentium Gold G5600's architecture, which is identical to the Pentium Gold G5500.

As the higher-priced version of the Pentium Gold G5500, the Pentium Gold G5600 has higher base and Boost frequencies of 3.9 and 3.9 GHz, respectively. That's an increase in base frequency and a bump to boost clocks, but the real advantage should lay in the higher Package Power Tracking (PPT) envelope, which is a measurement of the maximum amount of power delivered to the socket. The Pentium Gold G5500's PPT tops out at 54W, while the motherboard can pump up to 142W to the Pentium Gold G5600 at peak performance. That opens up much more aggressive boost behavior, on both single and multiple cores, that could widen the performance gap beyond what we see on the spec sheet.

But, like most humans, if you do things other than gaming, the Pentium Gold G5600 offers a better mixture of performance in single- and multi-threaded applications. The Pentium Gold G5600 offers twice the threads of the price-comparable A6-7480, and it wields them to great effect in threaded workloads. As such, rendering and encoding remain a strong suit of the Pentium Gold chips, and Intel's improvements to AVX throughput have yielded impressive results.

The Intel Pentium Gold G5600 seems to be a decent performing chip that is readily available for $93 at your favorite retailer. The main competition for this processor is the A6-7480 2-Core unlocked desktop processor with Radeon R5 (on die) graphics ($74.13 shipped).

If extended overclocking and boost frequencies are trivial matters to you, Intel also offers the Pentium Gold G5500 at $75. It’s still outfitted with 2-cores and 4-threads, but clocks in at a slower 3.8GHz and maxes out at only 3.8GHz.

With Pentium Gold, Intel continues to innovate on its new architecture and 14nm process. Like Pentium Gold, Intel has engineered Pentium Gold to operate on a LGA1151 chipset with all the modern amenities of computing. This includes support for DDR4 RAM, the fastest NVMe SSDs and Thunderbolt 3 ports.

That said, to squeeze out all the potential of this surprisingly potent entry-level chip, you’ll want (and need) to splurge on an enthusiast-grade Z270, Z370, Z390 motherboard.

Fresh from a successful roll-out of mainstream Pentium Gold CPUs, Intel's attack on AMD now extends down into the entry-level with its Pentium Gold G5600 processors, which the company is making available as of May 2018.

Help a noob (RX 5600 XT) games crashing

Hi , to keep it short ill summarize my situation :

-> Upgraded the whole PC but not the SSD and HDD .

-> New CPU new Mainboard new GPU new PSU

-> Switched from a GTX 1050ti with an i7 to RX 5600XT and Ryzen 5 3600

-> Installed the latest driver center from AMD website, installed latest drivers for chipset from website

-> Made windows updates (win 10 pro x64)

-> Reboot serval times

-> Almost every game is silently closing when entering the game from menu or even at menu.

No logs no error message.


Now i read about driver issues and i wonder which driver (propably WHQL) i should install and HOW.

There are games like Guildwars 1 and 2 that are running good but at low FPS and also the computer feels more laggy than before with my previous setup speaking about loading times and switching between apps and games


Computer Type: Desktop

GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX - RX 5600XT

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 stock

Motherboard: MSI b450 gaming max plus

RAM: 32GB Vengeance RGB 2x 16

PSU: bequiet 500w v11

Case: sharkoon pure steel

Do you have more than one screen plugged in? I spent hours pulling my hair why Monster Hunter didn't want to start, the window just opened and closed without any errors or anything at all. Looked through the event viewer like 15x looking for any trace of errors... But no... Figured it was Denuvo messing with me (I did not have Steam running, *wink wink*) and that I was f*ed.

But no, finally I tried just disabling my second screen (my TV) which wasn't even turned on, and hadn't been for at least 12 hours. Ah, suddenly it worked just fine, not a trace of a problem. I guess it had something to do with conflicting resolution instructions or something, but man, really spent hours trying to fix this and it was just a damned mouse click away the whole time.

yeah i have 3 monitors 2x 16:9 and 1x 21:9 screens.

But its working now after i rollback to driver 20.2 and updated my bios

If you upgraded the cpu gpu motherboard etc you will almost deffinetly have to reinstall windows to have everything work. So id backup your data and hit reset this pc in the windows settings. Your power supply should be fine

mikeatwar July 22, 2020

I thought about this too but i have tons of software ( VST Plugins and stuff) installed so i wanted to keep all that because a reinstall of my system would take at least 2 free evenings.. But i guess after i update my BIOS and dowgrade the driver to 20.2.2 if that wont help i will wipe my system .


The PSU is fine ? everyone keeps telling me different things about the 500w PSU , but if it was the PSU then why just the game closes ?

CMDR_Cortex July 21, 2020

Did you remove your old Drivers via the DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)? This is recommended since updating without using DDU first might cause problems.

Also your PSU might just be a little too weak, although 500W just might be enough, (not an expert though). 500W should be fine for your 5600xt, i misread it as 5700xt first.

Since you updated your OS try to check for any corruptions via System file Checker

mikeatwar July 22, 2020

but if it was the PSU then why just the game closes ?

No , i did not know about that software i will use it this evening and reinstall the driver but a WHQL one no the latest and test that .

but if it was the PSU then why just the game closes ?

Help! Rx 5600 xt or RTX 2060?

I can't decide wich GPU i have to buy :(

I can get the RTX 2060 more cheaper than the RX 5600 xt but also I can get the RX 5600 XT more cheaper than the RTX 2060 Super.

Wich one should I go for? Sorry for grammatical errors, I am Argentine :)

If you have tight budget both of them great cards and nvidia has dsll 2.0 but if you can save some money choose 5700 & 5700xt and have fun with low price 2070 without rtx.

My friend has been extremely generous and given me a Ryzen 5600 and a Gigabyte RX 5600 XT! I need a bit of help with a build - I have a bit of an idea of what I want to do but I haven't built a PC in years, a bit of help would be awesome!

I have limited money for now, so I'm thinking of using the stock CPU cooler until I can afford an AIO. I also have a couple of older 8GB sticks of ram that I can use as well. I'll probably wait until I can afford both and upgrade later.

As far as the case, I'm going to go the Lian Li PC-O11, cause I love it. Power supply, I'm thinking a corsair RM 650X.

I'm mainly unsure about the motherboard and fans - for the motherboard I was just looking at the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro, but I'm definitely not set in stone yet. I think I want PCI-E 4 and also I need USB-C for the case. I need good audio as well but as far as I can tell, pretty much all motherboards this price will have good audio.

I really have no idea about fans - if possible, I would like to get a fan setup that will be fine when I eventually get an AIO but also be fine with the stock cooler for now. A local shop currently has 20% off all be quiet! fans, but I really don't know what fans to get! 9 fans would be pretty cool, I would love to do that.

If I'm forgetting anything, please let me know! I would love some help, please let me know what you guys would do!

Cheers

edit - I forgot to mention that I have all of my storage! 2 SSDs and HDDS as well if I want them. Also, I'm in Australia. The only price here to really mention would be the mobo - around the same price as the B550 Aorus Pro is affordable for me.

A Ryzen 5600?? Wow, ask your friend if COVID is gone in the future because he somehow got a CPU that hasn't even been announced yet! (kidding)

RX 5600 XT: Pixellated, garbage graphics. Please help!

Hi,

So I recently built a PC with an RX 5600 XT and it seems fine for games. However I am finding that the quality when playing video is atrociously bad, worse than my 8 year old laptop.

The main problem is that dark colours/blacks become super pixellated and blurry, to the point of being unwatchable in very darek scenes. I tried to get some screenshots, see here: https://imgur.com/a/M7zYbml .

Strangely I have not noticed a problem when gaming, only watching Youtube videos and movies. I have ruled out the monitor as the issue persists with several monitors I have tried, and I don;t get the problem when connecting the laptop.

Has anybody encountered anything similar?
