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
Ryzen 5 exceeded my expectations and the 6 core/12 thread 1600X presents a real dilemma for enthusiast gamers given how closely it performs to the Ryzen 7 1700. The 1600X will almost certainly fill the requirements of an enthusiast who games 70% of the ti...

Abstract: IDGAMD's $250 Ryzen 5 1600X is here to challenge Intel's quad-core, $250 Core i5-7600K for the honor of being “The People's CPU.” Everyone likes to read about expensive, gold-plated, $1,000 parts, but in the real world, most people can't or won't spend th...
6 cores/12 threads at the price of a 4 core/4 thread Intel Core i5, Efficient AMD Zen architecture, Very good performance in multi-threaded applications
No integrated graphics, No bundled cooler, Market price is higher than MRP
AMD has delivered a solid CPU for those whose budgets can't stretch enough to accommodate a Ryzen 7, but who still want the benefits of lots of cores and threads. It sells for around Rs. 18,999 which is higher than its official MRP (Rs. 18,199) due to mar...
Sometimes you don't have to be the absolute best to be a winnerIn a nutshell, Ryzen 5's main advantage over Intel's Core i5 range is the higher number of cores and threads it offers while sharing the same price bracket. That's not unlike what AMD offers w...
Impressive performance, Relatively affordable price, Nearly on par with Intel's top-of-the-line Kaby Lake and AMD's Ryzen 7 CPU
Still not much overclocking headroom
AMD clearly wasn't joking when they said that Ryzen 5 would cater to the performance and gaming crowd. At RM1,199 (Which is effectively around the same price range as Intel's Core i5-7600K), it's surprising to see it perform nearly on par with not just In...
The Ryzen 5 1600X proves that AMD once again has a highly competitive product on its hands, even in the mid-range segment. While the chip might trail behind Intel's offering in terms of gaming, the Ryzen 5 1600X excels in many other tasks – providing bett...

SummaryThe AMD Ryzen 5 1600X is a beastly 6-core 12-thread AM4 CPU. An impressive mid-range product that features an excellent multi-threading performance. For $229, this CPU is hard to beat...
