Abstract: AMD Ryzen 3 vs Ryzen 5 vs Ryzen 7So far we have taken a close look at most of AMD's Ryzen line-up and, while there have been variances from model to model, overall both the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 series have indeed lived up to expectations. Their combination...
Abstract: With the release of the Ryzen 7 series of CPUs by AMD this year certainly has been exciting times for enthusiast. For the first time in a long-time enthusiast's actually had options in the high-end desktop arena. So much so that the idea of opting for Int...

I have to admit, this just seems wrong. I still can't get used to seeing AMD CPUs consuming less power than their Intel counterpart. It feels unnatural. Those power-hungry FX chips sat atop our power charts for so long and I'm glad we can finally move on...
Abstract: To date, we have poured over, examined, and tested the tar out of the eight-core Ryzen 7 processors currently available, but among the four- and six-core Ryzen 5 mainstream CPUs, we've barely begun. So far we have reviewed the Ryzen 5 1600X. Now it's time...
We can say the Ryzen 5 1600 is a version of the Ryzen 5 1600X with a lower clock. Therefore, it behaves as expected: in programs and games that take advantage of its twelve threads, it performs greatly, but in programs that don't use more than four thread...
Abstract: AMD now takes on the mainstream segment with the Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 5 1600. The hexa-core in particular performs well in our review, but the Ryzen 1400 is a bit on the fence – which is primarily a result of AMD's in-house competition...

Low price, Bundled cooler, Unlocked multiplier
Performance in lightly threaded applications, Memory overclocking
The Ryzen 5 1600 brings six cores and twelve threads at a great price point that places it in direct contention with Intel's four-core Kaby Lake lineup. - MORE: Best CPUs MORE: Intel & AMD Processor Hierarchy MORE: All CPU Content...
Six cores and 12 threads for half the price of Intel's similarly outfitted Core i7-6800K, Consistently topped pricier Core i7-7700K on tests that take advantage of all available cores, Cooler included in the box (unlike with the Ryzen 5 1600X)
1080p gaming and single-core performance still lag behind comparable "Kaby Lake" chips
At just $219 with six cores and 12 threads, AMD's Ryzen 5 1600 could be a cash-strapped content-creator's dream chip. Just don't expect to do serious overclocking without investing in a better cooler. Read More...

Comes With SMT Which Core i5 CPUs Lack, Outstanding Performance, Fully Unlocked, Can Easily Be OC'd to 4Ghz+, Perfect For Multi-Tasking, Future-Proof Platform, Great Price/Performance Value, Runs Very Cool
Memory Compatibility Limited
The Ryzen 5 lineup has put an end to Intel's Core i5 lineup because you now have the option of getting either a 6C/12T or 4C/8T processor while the Core i5 lineup is all 4C/4T. Multi-threaded performance will be significantly better with any Ryzen 5 proce...
Abstract: Let's take a few moments and go back to August, 2016 when AMD announced the “ZEN” Core architecture (‘designed from the ground up with optimal balance of performance and power') at the Hot Chips 28 Symposium on High Performance Chips. At the Symposium, AM...
