This CPU is far from a barn-burner, but for old enough systems this is a great option for upgrading your PC to eligibility for an automatic upgrade to Windows 11.

The comments section will inevitably include notes about AM4 being a dead-end platform and/or the relatively low-horsepower of this CPU. Of course, if you'rve been holding out with a PC rocking something like an AMD Phenom II or Core 2 Quad CPU (both actual upgrades I've done to AM4 systems), those considerations may be of limited significance to your intended purposes.
Good luck!

I have a couple 1600's That came to me via 5600 upgrades and it is a shame to turn them over to the recycling fire.
I bought a tpm upgrade for my a320 board. It sees the module and the light on the board seems to indicate operation. The Bios see's it to. How farked can it be that a fresh install of win 11 still pukes on a unsuported cpu.. A lot of e-waste coming or a fresh class of linux users. win11 might be the shark Microsoft jumps over. I guess I beet a dead hoarse, but It is still is viable.

I believe this 4500 is inferior all around compared to the 5500. Anything above the 5700x(?) I believe requires more that 65w which you might want to stay away from.
Same question. I have three computers I built for kids pre Covid all using b450 boards with 1600 and 2600 CPU's. They seem to still be working fine running 570 and 580 GPUs for Roblox and Minecraft. Any reason to upgrade here or recommendations? I have to upgrade 3 of them and $ is always an issue.
