6 cores/12 threads at the price of a 4 core/4 thread Intel Core i5
Efficient AMD Zen architecture
Very good performance in multi-threaded applications
Although a little more expensive than the i5-7600K, it's easy to see that the Ryzen 5 1600X is better value for demanding tasks such as 3D- and video rendering, video editing and compressing and decompressing files. The Intel chip still has an advantage f...
The AMD Ryzen 5 1600X isn't a just an affordable chip for gamers and media creators, it an incredible package that puts multi-core computing on the mainstream map...

Superb multi-threaded computational performance that obliterates the Core i5-7600K, Multi-threaded performance makes the i7-7700K and i7-6800K look like poor value for money, Plenty of spare computational capacity for game streamers, Power consumption num
Gaming performance is not as strong as Intel's competition, which is disappointing for this market segment, Kaby Lake competition has significantly better single-threaded performance, Maximum frequency achievable is limited, especially compared to Intel's
With Ryzen 5, AMD builds upon the foundations set by the flagship 8C16T Ryzen 7 processors, and that's generally a good thing.Performance in multi-threaded workloads is in a different league to Intel's price-comparable competitor processors. Ryzen 5 happi...

Best price vs performance Ryzen chip to date, 6-Core w/ 12 Threads, AM4 Platform and features, XFR overclocking, Easy to manually overclock, Beats out many more expensive Intel products, Great for gaming/streaming,
None, Neutral, Memory latency is still a little high but it has improved since Ryzen launched, “If you’re eager to invest in Ryzen but don’t need the more expensive 8-Core R7 chips, then the 1600X is the best that R5 has to offer. It’s perfectly suited to
PricingAt just $249/£200, the AMD Ryzen R5 1600X is one of the most disruptive hardware releases in recent years. Not only does it offer more cores and threads than similarly priced Intel solutions, it manages to give some of Intel's much more expensive s...
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...
As unsurprising as the results are given we're just dealing with a similar CPU to the Ryzen 7 trio, just with fewer cores and threads, they are still significant regarding what the Ryzen 5 1600X means in terms of shaking up the mid-range CPU market. Here...
Strength in heavily threaded workloads, Superior pricetoperformance ratio for budget workstations, Unlocked ratio multiplier
High price relative to Core i57600K, Lower overclocking headroom
The Ryzen 5 1600X provides a tremendous price-to-performance ratio for budget workstations that rivals Intel's Broadwell-E offerings. Ryzen 5 also provides playable performance in most games, but it lags the Intel competition and doesn't have as much...
Yes. Whether you're encoding video, streaming and recording while gaming, or compressing and uncompressing large files, you'll see a benefit from the extra cores and higher power draw on the Ryzen 5 1600X. Add that to a precisely targeted price point, and...

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF is a good processor. The R5 1600 won one of our Best CPUs awards for 2017, but this isn't a 2017 part – it's sort of a 2018 Zen+ part, but it was released in 2019. Whatever year it comes from, the R5 1600 AF makes the 3000G look ba...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...
