  • Higher Peak Power Than Predecessors, Max Overclocked Frequencies Still Much Lower Than Intel

  • The Ryzen 5 2600X offers a nice little extra bump in performance when compared to the 1600X. It's not massive and as extensive as what the 2700X is to the 2700X, but it is a step forward with what pretty much is a bit of a die-shrink and tweaking. Ryzen h...

  • Great productivity and allaround performance. Stock and OC'ed 2700X are mostly faster than the 8700K. Power
  • Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs
  • After a huge time investment into this debut review, I still feel like there's so much more that I want to test. However, we've covered the essentials and it should provide a good idea of how the Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X compare to the current-gen...

  • Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018...
