The editors liked
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
Unlocked ratio multiplier
Multithreaded performance
Affordable pricing
Chipset promises future upgradability
Intuitive overclocking software
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
The editors didn't like
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
Unoptimized software ecosystem
IPC throughput deficit
Poor overclocking on stock cooling
Only four cores
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
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...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

Wrapping up with the 720p data first, these low-res results are important for a few reasons, though for some they can be a bit misleading. They're important because they show us the true difference between CPUs in these games. With any speed limits remove...

The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X (Price Check) is not the most powerful desktop CPU in the market. That honour goes to the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (Price Check)… unless you include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processor! But it is an amazing processor.Like the Ryzen 3...
So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...
Abstract: AMD Ryzen 3 vs Ryzen 5 vs Ryzen 7So far we have taken a close look at most of AMD's Ryzen line-up and, while there have been variances from model to model, overall both the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 series have indeed lived up to expectations. Their combination...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...
