Abstract: Since the launch of the FX8 series of processors AMD have fallen into the sector of the market that is best described by the old "good value for money" adage, which is usually a pejorative way of saying that the performance wasn't all that but they're che...

Strength in heavily threaded workloads, Superior pricetoperformance ratio for budget workstations, Unlocked ratio multiplier
High price relative to Core i57600K, Lower overclocking headroom
The Ryzen 5 1600X provides a tremendous price-to-performance ratio for budget workstations that rivals Intel's Broadwell-E offerings. Ryzen 5 also provides playable performance in most games, but it lags the Intel competition and doesn't have as much...
Abstract: Last month we took the shrink wrap off the eight-core Ryzen 7 CPUs, and now it's the six-core Ryzen 5 1600X's turn to upend the sub $300 processor market.The Ryzen 5 1600X is based on the same Summit Ridge architecture in the Ryzen 7, and in an unpreceden...

Strong Overall Performance, Up To 6-Cores / 12-Threads, Power Friendly, Aggressive Pricing
Performance Anomalies In A Few Benchmarks, Lack-Luster Overclocking In Early Stages
With that said, though lower-resolution game performance with non-optimized titles remains an issue for Ryzen, that situation is improving. A recent patch for Ashes of the Singularity doesn't put Ryzen on the same level as Intel's high-end processors, but...
After Ryzen 7 the tide has now turned to Ryzen 5, and it has been an interesting time for AMD. The processor launch has been good, but not great. The Ryzen platform is still a little immature. This mainly focuses on memory compatibility and somewhat lower...
Convincingly beats the Core i5-7600K "Kaby Lake", Trades blows with costlier i7-7700K in some tests, Features SMT/HTT (which competing Intel Core i5 quad-core chips lack), Single-threaded performance improved over previous generation, Unlocked multiplier,
Gaming frame rates lower than competing Intel chips, High power draw, Memory frequency options and memory compatibility limited, Setup complicated (memory, HPET, CCX, SMT, and power profile), Overclocking barely worth it, Requires optimized apps of which

performance, overclocking, power consumption, value
AMD Ryzen 7 produced a revolution in the 8-core area, offering at least the same performance as Intel LGA2011 counterparts, but at half price. Now Ryzen 5 came to compete with LGA1151 solutions, and AMD banged Intel's head again with 1600X, a 6-core/12-th...

For such a small six-game sample, those benchmarks showed quite a few interesting results. Perhaps the most exciting conclusion we can draw is that upcoming six-core Ryzen processors should perform roughly on par with eight-core models when playing today'...

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...
