  • AMD has announced a new Ryzen 5 9600 processor at CES 2025
  • This is a slightly slower version of the already existing Ryzen 5 9600X
  • It has a boost speed that’s 200MHz slower, but it’ll be cheaper – though we don’t have a launch price yet

AMD will doubtless be launching a few fresh Zen 5 processors this year – there are only four models in the Ryzen 9000 range thus far, after all – and CES 2025 has seen the company quietly introduce a new CPU to take the title of the most affordable chip.

This is the Ryzen 5 9600, a slightly tamed version of the existing Ryzen 5 9600X, dropping the ‘X’ from the name.
