  • Ryzen 5 exceeded my expectations and the 6 core/12 thread 1600X presents a real dilemma for enthusiast gamers given how closely it performs to the Ryzen 7 1700. The 1600X will almost certainly fill the requirements of an enthusiast who games 70% of the ti...

  • 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...

  • Unlocked ratio multiplier, Multithreaded performance
  • Unoptimized software ecosystem, IPC throughput deficit
  • The Ryzen 5 1500X offers a competitive price point and a good mix of characteristics, particularly if you're willing to invest some time in tuning. Gaming remains a soft spot in the Ryzen series, but a bit of tuning provides a good bang-for-the-buck o...
