Down to its lowest-ever price, the Zen 3 Ryzen 5 5500 CPU is on sale for only $81 at Newegg. This six-core 12-thread chip was AMD's answer to the 12400F and at only $81 makes a fantastic budget-oriented choice for a lower-end AM4 system. The caveats of this processor are that it is only PCIe 3.0 and has a humble L3 cache of 16MB. See our review of the Ryzen 5 5500 for more information.
