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

Best price vs performance Ryzen chip to date, 6-Core w/ 12 Threads, AM4 Platform and features, XFR overclocking, Easy to manually overclock, Beats out many more expensive Intel products, Great for gaming/streaming,
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...
Yes. Whether you're encoding video, streaming and recording while gaming, or compressing and uncompressing large files, you'll see a benefit from the extra cores and higher power draw on the Ryzen 5 1600X. Add that to a precisely targeted price point, and...
6 cores/12 threads at the price of a 4 core/4 thread Intel Core i5, Efficient AMD Zen architecture, Very good performance in multi-threaded applications
No integrated graphics, No bundled cooler, Market price is higher than MRP
AMD has delivered a solid CPU for those whose budgets can't stretch enough to accommodate a Ryzen 7, but who still want the benefits of lots of cores and threads. It sells for around Rs. 18,999 which is higher than its official MRP (Rs. 18,199) due to mar...
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...
Impressive performance, Relatively affordable price, Nearly on par with Intel's top-of-the-line Kaby Lake and AMD's Ryzen 7 CPU
Still not much overclocking headroom
AMD clearly wasn't joking when they said that Ryzen 5 would cater to the performance and gaming crowd. At RM1,199 (Which is effectively around the same price range as Intel's Core i5-7600K), it's surprising to see it perform nearly on par with not just In...
The Ryzen 5 1600X proves that AMD once again has a highly competitive product on its hands, even in the mid-range segment. While the chip might trail behind Intel's offering in terms of gaming, the Ryzen 5 1600X excels in many other tasks – providing bett...
