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
High price relative to Core i57600K
Lower overclocking headroom
Tricky overclocking
Gaming performance is not as strong as Intel's competition
Which is disappointing for this market segment
Kaby Lake competition has significantly better single-threaded performance
The AMD Ryzen 5 1600X isn't a just an affordable chip for gamers and media creators, it an incredible package that puts multi-core computing on the mainstream map...

Gaming performance is not as strong as Intel's competition, which is disappointing for this market segment, Kaby Lake competition has significantly better single-threaded performance, Maximum frequency achievable is limited, especially compared to Intel's
With Ryzen 5, AMD builds upon the foundations set by the flagship 8C16T Ryzen 7 processors, and that's generally a good thing.Performance in multi-threaded workloads is in a different league to Intel's price-comparable competitor processors. Ryzen 5 happi...
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...

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...

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...
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...

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF is a good processor. The R5 1600 won one of our Best CPUs awards for 2017, but this isn't a 2017 part – it's sort of a 2018 Zen+ part, but it was released in 2019. Whatever year it comes from, the R5 1600 AF makes the 3000G look ba...
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...
