You might recall, last year we declared the Ryzen 5 1600 the best value CPU on the market, whether you're a gamer or you've got real work to do, few rivaled what the R5 1600 had to offer at the $200 price point. Of course, the Core i5-8400 is an attractiv...

We're getting to a point where Ryzen's generational improvements, from a pure FPS and performance perspective, are going to look an awful lot like Intel's. If you bought Ryzen 1, there's really no reason to replace it with Ryzen 2. AMD's improvements are...

Abstract: With 2017 finished, and Ryzen being very successful for AMD, the inevitable question was due: what happens next? Early in 2018, the plans were laid bare: a second generation Ryzen processor was set to come in mid-year, followed by a second generation Thr...

Abstract: The leaks have been flying hard and fast for weeks, but this morning, AMD is officially taking the wraps off its second-generation Ryzen CPUs. Four new chips have been waiting in the wings, and they'll be available for pre-order around the world starting...

Abstract: SiSoftware was one of the few companies to receive early samples of the 2nd Generation Ryzen processors. They tested both Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600 processors, and inadvertently leaked their benchmark results and performance findings.They have since...

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also...

As far as we are concerned, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is the most interesting CPU in the new Ryzen 2 series. By default, depending on the usage scenario, it is 5 to 10% slower than the more expensive 2600X, but with an overclock it is quite easy to match the p...
Great value, Huge multi-thread performance, Overclockable,
Slower single-core performance than Intel, Poor overclocking headroom,
It's the same old story. AMD's latest chips are great value for certain tasks but less so for others. You get masses of multi-thread performance, but single-thread and gaming performance trails Intel's rival processors a little...
Big step forward in performance compared to Ryzen 5 1600, Backward compatibility with previous-gen motherboards, Indium solder between die and heat spreader improves thermal transfer, Bundled cooler improves value proposition
Performance deficit compared to stock Ryzen 7 2700, Requires a higher-end thermal solution for serious overclocking, Only $20 cheaper than 95W Ryzen 5 2600X
AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 provides excellent performance in productivity applications and competitive frame rates in games. It's also an attractive choice for anyone building a PC in a compact case, given a 65W TDP. But if you're more interested in raw performan...
Abstract: It's the age-old question that has spurred endless debate: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has reached new heights with AMD's Ryzen 2000 Series, often referred to by users (but not AMD) as "Ryzen 2," competing against Intel's 8th Gen "Coffee Lake" for d...
