Price. Limited value for money
Conclusion
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel
Limited overclocking headroom
Higher Peak Power Than Predecessors
Max Overclocked Frequencies Still Much Lower Than Intel
Needs a better cooler for overclocking
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards yet
Large performance deficit compared to a stock Ryzen 7 2700X
Still no overclocking headroom
Not super-new design
Single-threaded performance still lower than Intel's
Limited overclocking potential
Memory still a bit more problematic than on Intel
Lacks integrated graphics
Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs

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 che...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018, b...

Abstract: Intel's recent launch of the Core i9-9900K has a lot of people asking what it means to have the best gaming CPU around. The answer to that question is complicated, and we wanted to take a break from our usual System Guide format to dive deep into this spe...

So we now have second generation Ryzen and the update is quite good. You'll see anywhere from a 10-20% performance boost over the previous generation chips. That puts the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 2700X that we tested today on top of our test results, eve...

Having established that the Core i7-8700K is hands down faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X for gaming, it's also not a great deal faster. Realistically at 1080p with a beastly graphics card you'll stand to gain up to 15% performance at the high-end, but will m...

Abstract: It is common to find guides to overclocking processors, and indeed pre-overclocked system builds, that rely heavily upon the old ethos of sticking as many volts into the processor as it and your cooling can handle, and stopping when everything is stable...

Abstract: When AMD launched their Ryzen processors in 2017, the company gave consumers a worthy alternative to Intel's dominance. Their competitor had little answer to Ryzen's incredible multicore performance and aggressive pricing. Now, the second generation of Ry...
