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...
Twice the compute threads as competing Intel CPUs, Improved 1080p gaming performance versus Ryzen 7 chips we tested just a month ago
1080p gaming and single-core performance still lag behind comparable "Kaby Lake" chips, Ryzen 5 1600 doesn't cost much more, has 50 percent more cores
With twice the compute threads as similarly priced Intel chips and somewhat better 1080p gaming performance, the Ryzen 5 1500X will appeal strongly to those who game and regularly tackle CPU-intensive tasks. But the Ryzen 5 1600 delivers extra cores for...

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...

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'...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that I've written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. There's no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
