Exceptional value compared to their Intel Core i5 counterparts. Ryzen holds a clear lead in productivity performance
Though gaming performance is more evenly matched between Intel and AMD
Excellent Price
Great Performance
Quality Design

The full-featured AM4 platform
Excellent value for money
Strength in heavily threaded workloads
Superior pricetoperformance ratio for budget workstations
Unlocked ratio multiplier
Six cores and 12 threads for about the same price as Intel's four-thread Core i5 chips
Consistently tops pricier Core i7-7700K on tests that take advantage of all available cores
Great price for a six-core
12-thread chip
Beats even the pricier Core i7-7700K when using all cores on some tests
Strong Overall Performance
Up To 6-Cores / 12-Threads
Power Friendly
Aggressive Pricing
Convincingly beats the Core i5-7600K "Kaby Lake"
Trades blows with costlier i7-7700K in some tests

The editors didn't like
Power efficiency goes right out the window once you start overclocking
None
Gaming Performance Not On Par With Competition
Limited Overclocking Potential on Ryzen Processors
AM4 Motherboards Not Compatible With High Speed DDR4 DIMMs (yet)
Not many applications optimized for Ryzen Processors
No integrated graphics across all R
Questions remain over gaming performance
Some early adopter quirks linger
Overclocking not as strong as Kaby Lake
High price relative to Core i57600K
Lower overclocking headroom
1080p gaming and single-core performance still lag behind comparable "Kaby Lake" chips
No stock cooler included in box
Lags behind the equivalent Intel chips for 1080p gaming
No stock cooler included
Performance Anomalies In A Few Benchmarks
Lack-Luster Overclocking In Early Stages
Gaming frame rates lower than competing Intel chips
High power draw
Memory frequency options and memory compatibility limited
Good multi-threaded performance, Good price-to-performance ratio, Low Temperature
Overclocking is hit or miss, Need good RAM for CCX communication
