I really dislike it. It’s slow and lags a lot.

4th fastest processor, beats most Intel CPUs. If you can’t configure it, let someone who can do it properly.

Wrong! One of the smoothest CPUs for gaming with top single-core performance.

How? I used to push 11.5k+, now stuck at 10.5k, weird.

No. AMD regular CPUs don't have integrated graphics. Only Intel does. Buy i5-12400 instead; same performance, cheaper, no GPU needed.

No, the Ryzen 5 5600X does not have integrated graphics. Most Ryzen CPUs with graphics have a 'G' in the name.
