Few AMD’s new R5 5600 processors use early B0 stepping

Last night, AMD officially launched a new 65W processor, including the new 6-core dessert grade R5 5600, priced at USD 213 in a box.

According to the evaluation information of several sources, some of AMD’s new R5 5600 processors still use the early B0 stepping instead of the latest B2 stepping. This means that the R5 5600 model may have been produced earlier than the latest production model.

Moreover, the “Stepping” of the CPU can be regarded as the trimming version number of the CPU, and the stepping version will change with the improvement of the production process of this series of CPUs, the solution of bugs, or the increase of features. The larger the number of steps in a CPU generation, the more perfect it is.

According to WccfTech, AMD Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs began to be upgraded to B2 stepping in November last year, and although AMD claims that there are no major differences in B2 stepping chips, some overclocking enthusiasts have discovered the improvement brought by B2 stepping.

Moreover, the temperature of the new step AMD Ryzen 5000 dropped in the overclocking test, and the power consumption was also reduced. In addition, the memory compatibility of the B2 stepping chip is also better.
