The Ryzen 5 1600 CPU does arrive with notably lower core clocks and 30W lower TDP versus its 1600X brother, all other technical specifications remaining the same. While we can see a small performance drop with the Ryzen 5 1600, both CPUs seem to share sim...

Remarkable multithreaded performance, More core and threads than the competition, 1600X on par with a stock i5 7600K in gaming, The full-featured AM4 platform, Excellent value for money
Questions remain over gaming performance, Some early adopter quirks linger, Overclocking not as strong as Kaby Lake
To truly talk about the bottom line when it comes to the AMD Ryzen 5, we need to look at its product stack and pricing.Now let's look at where the Intel 7600K and 7700K are priced. That would be $239/$249 and $346 respectively. While we did not bring Inte...

For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...
