Good value, Amazing multicore and multithread performance
Intel more widelysupported for games
Intel's best i5 chip costs a little less and can be a bit faster for single-core applications and (even more for) some games, when software is optimised for Ryzen, AMD wins by a very long way...
When Ryzen 7 launched there was a fair bit of controversy surrounding some of its shortcomings. Overclocking headroom was disappointing, finding the right memory was like walking through a minefield, Windows 10s power plans didnt play nice and there wer...
Performance, B350 platform, Single threaded performance, Better than FX
Overclocking limited to 4.0GHz
Here we are at the end of Ryzen Part Deux and I have to say that, for the most part, scaling the architecture down does hit on some performance points. As you might expect, the results to show and prove that dropping the core count by 50% on the Ryzen 150...

None, Neutral, Memory latency is still a little high but it has improved since Ryzen launched, “If you’re eager to invest in Ryzen but don’t need the more expensive 8-Core R7 chips, then the 1600X is the best that R5 has to offer. It’s perfectly suited to
PricingAt just $249/£200, the AMD Ryzen R5 1600X is one of the most disruptive hardware releases in recent years. Not only does it offer more cores and threads than similarly priced Intel solutions, it manages to give some of Intel's much more expensive s...
Abstract: The first half of 2017 is proving to be an interesting one for AMD. There's promise of next-generation RX Vega graphics coming to a PC in May or June, bringing much-needed competition to the high-end space, and AMD already has a trio of Ryzen eight-core C...
As unsurprising as the results are given we're just dealing with a similar CPU to the Ryzen 7 trio, just with fewer cores and threads, they are still significant regarding what the Ryzen 5 1600X means in terms of shaking up the mid-range CPU market. Here...
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...
