    Still holds up in the market to this day. Never gave me a problem in its 4 years of use.

    Great cpu for the price I got it for. Still a strong 6c/12t in 2024. Has a great upgrade path to the 5800x3d.

    AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 provides excellent performance in productivity applications and competitive frame rates in games. It's also an attractive choice for anyone building a PC in a compact case, given a 65W TDP

    Loved it in 2020 for a budget build, still love it in 2024. Showing it's age in a lot of ways, but it's handled everything I've thrown at it and more, only need an upgrade because some CAD programs I use are starting to give it some stress. Can't go wrong with Ryzen.

    from completed build First PC Build - Dec 2021

    Did the job nicely for a solid year. Ran every game at 1080p no issues. A bit slower than its 3600 & 5600 counterparts, but still decent. If you can get it for really cheap, a decent entry level part for AM4.
