After the highs of the Ryzen 5 1600X its quad-core sibling feels like a bit of a disappointment. I'm still trying to figure out what it's really for. At just under $200 it's simply priced too close to the $219 (£220) hexcore 1600. That's a six-core, 12-th...
Combining the Ryzen 5 1500X with something like a Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3, you'll have an eight-thread CPU and board combo for the same price as the Core i7-7700K. Combined with excellent multi-threaded performance, if you need eight-threaded grunt then f...

Multi-threaded performance is far better than Intel's price competitors, Single-threaded XFR boost to 3.9GHz is a high clock speed for this price point, Allows for manual overclocking with an unlocked core multiplier, Clock frequency helps it overcome IPC
Gaming performance is behind that of Intel's competition, Power draw in our Cinebench measurements is disproportionately higher than Intel's competition, Worth a $20 upgrade over the 1400 but the six-core 1600 is only $30 more expensive
Ryzen 5 1500X delivers strong performance when you focus on productivity tasks. Workloads such as video editing and rendering benefit from the additional threads provided by SMT, giving the 1500X a commanding lead over Intel's similarly-priced competitors...

Exceptional value for money, Quad-core performance at dual-core prices, Latest AM4 platform, Easy to overclock to 4GHz, Able to compete with more expensive processors from Intel, Ideal for 1080P gaming systems, Low TDP and temperatures,
Falls behind in rendering tasks, Neutral, Higher memory latency than Intel, but it doesn’t have a big impact on real-world performance, “The R5 1500X is offering reliable performance for mid-range gaming system builds at bargain prices. Like the legendary
PricingThe Ryzen R5 1500X is kind to the wallet at just £150/$179, which is less than half the price of the Ryzen R7 1700 which is £294.98. It may be half the price, give or a take, but it's certainly not half the performance when it comes to gaming or re...
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...
Poor overclocking on stock cooling, Only four cores
No. The Ryzen 5 1500X presents a solid alternative to the Core i5-7600K with all the modern features one would expect from a CPU, but the main draw for Ryzen chips is extra cores at the right price. The slightly more expensive Ryzen 5 1600X adds two cores...
Sometimes you don't have to be the absolute best to be a winnerIn a nutshell, Ryzen 5's main advantage over Intel's Core i5 range is the higher number of cores and threads it offers while sharing the same price bracket. That's not unlike what AMD offers w...
The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X is a more down to earth product as compared to its higher-end siblings that we have tested before. Rather than edging out its designated competitor Intel Core i5-7500, the CPU generally stands on par with it. It might not sound much...

SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 5 1500X continues the AM4 platform's win streak for just about $189 or about 9800 Pesos. A great choice for those looking for a capable 4-core 8-thread CPU...
4-cores, 8-threads, Comes with a Wraith Stealth cooler, Can reach 3.9GHz easily
Overclocking is hit or miss, Lower performance compared to Intel's 4-core, 8-thread part
What more can we say with AMD's Ryzen processors? They offer great price-to-performance ratio and impressive thermals. Overclocking Ryzen CPUs can be a bit finicky as you might be unlucky in the silicon lottery, but they perform well under their stock set...
