General info
The market that the CPU is designed for.
The CPU socket/s supported.
The motherboard chipset/s supported.
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Performance
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.

I bought it 5 days ago and haven't had any issues yet, just with heating, the airflow must be great if you want to use the original box cooler, or you could opt for buying a water cooler which solves 100% of the problems. Aside from that, the processor is perfect.

The Ryzen 5 5600 proves to be a great price to quality ratio processor. It offers good performance in both gaming and productivity. Even though Intel stands out more in the latter, Ryzen even manages to win with the Ryzen 5 5600 over the Intel core i5 11400, in both multi-core and single-core performance. Furthermore, Ryzen implemented the new Zen 3 architecture technology, which proved to be a great success in terms of the processor's core performance. Within the range of Ryzen processors, the 5600 proves to be a competent processor and not very far from its elder brother, the Ryzen 7 5700.
