For the desktop PC gamer, the higher TDP X models are still the go-to for gaming and general performance though. They're a little faster, and a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. However, if heat and power are a big concern to you, and t...

I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

The Ryzen 5 1500X offers a competitive price point and a good mix of characteristics, particularly if you're willing to invest some time in tuning. Gaming remains a soft spot in the Ryzen series, but a bit of tuning provides a good bang-for-the-buck o...

After the highs of the Ryzen 5 1600X its quad-core sibling feels like a bit of a disappointment. I'm still trying to figure out what it's really for. At just under $200 it's simply priced too close to the $219 (£220) hexcore 1600. That's a six-core, 12-th...
Combining the Ryzen 5 1500X with something like a Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3, you'll have an eight-thread CPU and board combo for the same price as the Core i7-7700K. Combined with excellent multi-threaded performance, if you need eight-threaded grunt then f...

Multi-threaded performance is far better than Intel's price competitors, Single-threaded XFR boost to 3.9GHz is a high clock speed for this price point, Allows for manual overclocking with an unlocked core multiplier, Clock frequency helps it overcome IPC
Gaming performance is behind that of Intel's competition, Power draw in our Cinebench measurements is disproportionately higher than Intel's competition, Worth a $20 upgrade over the 1400 but the six-core 1600 is only $30 more expensive
Ryzen 5 1500X delivers strong performance when you focus on productivity tasks. Workloads such as video editing and rendering benefit from the additional threads provided by SMT, giving the 1500X a commanding lead over Intel's similarly-priced competitors...

Exceptional value for money, Quad-core performance at dual-core prices, Latest AM4 platform, Easy to overclock to 4GHz, Able to compete with more expensive processors from Intel, Ideal for 1080P gaming systems, Low TDP and temperatures,
Falls behind in rendering tasks, Neutral, Higher memory latency than Intel, but it doesn’t have a big impact on real-world performance, “The R5 1500X is offering reliable performance for mid-range gaming system builds at bargain prices. Like the legendary
PricingThe Ryzen R5 1500X is kind to the wallet at just £150/$179, which is less than half the price of the Ryzen R7 1700 which is £294.98. It may be half the price, give or a take, but it's certainly not half the performance when it comes to gaming or re...
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...
