Abstract: SiSoftware was one of the few companies to receive early samples of the 2nd Generation Ryzen processors. They tested both Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600 processors, and inadvertently leaked their benchmark results and performance findings.They have since...

By name and by marketing, the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600's current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also...
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 delivers excellent performance when it comes to games and productivity applications. It is also a great choice if you are building your own PC in a compact case since it has a 65W TDP. The Ryzen 5 2600 is more than just a quality gaming C...
Strong multi core performance, Compatible with previous AM4 motherboards, Solid transcoding performance, Overclocks close to 2700X
– Wraith Spire cooler won't really support an overclock
When comparing the Ryzen 7 2700 to its predecessor, the 1700, we couldn't help but be impressed. It's faster, taps into more cores when it engages the boost clocks and has better memory compatibility. This is a clear step forward for Ryzen as a product.Th...
While we were super excited and impressed by the 2600X and 2700X, we found the 2600 and 2700 slightly less impressive, but still excellent values. For $30 more you are just paying AMD for a slight frequency boost, something you can do for free. While most...

As far as we are concerned, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is the most interesting CPU in the new Ryzen 2 series. By default, depending on the usage scenario, it is 5 to 10% slower than the more expensive 2600X, but with an overclock it is quite easy to match the p...
Great value, Huge multi-thread performance, Overclockable,
Slower single-core performance than Intel, Poor overclocking headroom,
It's the same old story. AMD's latest chips are great value for certain tasks but less so for others. You get masses of multi-thread performance, but single-thread and gaming performance trails Intel's rival processors a little...

AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 provides excellent performance in productivity applications and competitive frame rates in games. It's also an attractive choice for anyone building a PC in a compact case, given a 65W TDP. But if you're more interested in raw performan...
