The Intel i7-9700K received ample criticism at unveil for being the first “gaming,” S-class i7 in recent history to drop hyperthreading. The move was accompanied by an increase in physical core count to 8C, but followed the previous move from 4C/8T to 6C/...

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...
AMD's Ryzen CPU's have been wowing us since the very beginning of the 1st generation and AMD has further refined it this generation. We saw performance close to or even better sometimes than CPU's with a price tag twice as high. With games starting to tak...

AMD Second Generation Ryzen 2000 Series Processors -- Find Them At AmazonIf you're looking to build a relatively powerful desktop system without breaking the bank, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and Ryzen 5 2600 should absolutely be on your short list of considerat...
So as I expected after looking at the specifications of the Ryzen 5 2600 and the Ryzen 7 2700, the test results were interesting. Both are 65-watt TDP models but the 2700 packs in two more logical cores. To do that they had to sacrifice a little on th...

Performance deficit compared to stock Ryzen 7 2700, Requires a higher-end thermal solution for serious overclocking, Only $20 cheaper than 95W Ryzen 5 2600X
AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 provides excellent performance in productivity applications and competitive frame rates in games. It's also an attractive choice for anyone building a PC in a compact case, given a 65W TDP. But if you're more interested in raw perfo...
