“Ryzen 7 is aimed at the enthusiast market
While Ryzen 5 was set to stun the consumer market. The R5 1600 certainly achieves that goal
And would make a great addition to any powerful work or gaming PC
Abstract: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Best value with AMD's 219 USD six-core proc.We put what could be the best value Ryzen 5 processor to the test as we benchmark the six-core Ryzen 5 1600 (without the X). The 1600 will be tested and overclocked to see how much value you can...

The Ryzen 5 1600 CPU does arrive with notably lower core clocks and 30W lower TDP versus its 1600X brother, all other technical specifications remaining the same. While we can see a small performance drop with the Ryzen 5 1600, both CPUs seem to share sim...

Remarkable multithreaded performance, More core and threads than the competition, 1600X on par with a stock i5 7600K in gaming, The full-featured AM4 platform, Excellent value for money
Questions remain over gaming performance, Some early adopter quirks linger, Overclocking not as strong as Kaby Lake
To truly talk about the bottom line when it comes to the AMD Ryzen 5, we need to look at its product stack and pricing.Now let's look at where the Intel 7600K and 7700K are priced. That would be $239/$249 and $346 respectively. While we did not bring Inte...

In the Ryzen 5 line-up, this is the one to get. It has 6 cores and the larger Wraith Spire cooler all for only $50 more than the Ryzen 5 1400. While $50 may seem like a lot in nominal dollars, by the time a complete system is built, it is a few percentage...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that I've written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. There's no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
