the Zen 3 is the big difference between the two. Performance will be 20-40% better. I'd actually recommend if you can find one at a decent price to get a Ryzen 5 5600, about $130 at Newegg. But this one at $84 is a decent price

The 5600 isn't much of a big improvement over the 5500 for the extra cost you have to pay.

Goto YouTube and type in 2600x vs 5500, like this one. And you will get an idea of how much better it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZIq-i1CCUw
