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...

There are now two great gaming CPU lines available for the core gamer. The overwhelming weight of the data points to Ryzen 5 as the best buy in this market segment, specifically the non-X 1600 model. It's especially compelling against the only two locked...

The best value for money Ryzen processor, AM4 platform, Excellent overclocking performance, Much cheaper than rival Intel offerings, Great for multitasking, Robust gaming performance, Good thermal performance,
None, “Ryzen 7 is aimed at the enthusiast market, while Ryzen 5 was set to stun the consumer market. The R5 1600 certainly achieves that goal, and would make a great addition to any powerful work or gaming PC, and at a fantastic price too!”, AMD Ryzen R5
PricingWhile the Ryzen R5 1600 is one of the more expensive choices in the Ryzen 5 range, it's still superb value for money at just £213.13. However, at this price, the R5 1600 is cheaper than the Intel i7-7600K. Of course, let's not forget the best Intel...
Secondly, the Ryzen 5 1600 is just what we've hoped for - a six-core CPU that can overclock just as well as its X-edition counterpart while costing less. Finally, it offers two more cores and far better multi-threaded performance than anything Intel has i...
