Should I get the Ryzen 5 9600X?

The budget-friendly option in AMD’s latest Ryzen 9000 series, the 9600X is a fantastic choice of processor for gamers who don’t need the extra cores from Ryzen 7 and higher chips. The 6-core, 12-thread design has proven to be a solid option in a gaming system, providing excellent value for money overall. The value is made even better by the ongoing deal, and you can save even more thanks to Newegg’s Trade-In program.

When we reviewed the Ryzen 5 9600X, we noted its good efficiency thanks to a low 65W TDP. This ensures it is a good fit for most systems, and temperatures remain low. Although you can toggle on a 105W power setting via your BIOS, reports suggest this doesn’t give enough of a performance boost to warrant the extra power usage. Overall, the 9600X is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade to AM5 without overspending.
