Abstract: Stock speeds for CPU + 2933MHz @1.4V DRAM @15-15-15-36Overclocked to 4GHz @ 1.425V (1.1V SOC) + 2933MHz @1.4V DRAM @15-15-15-36Can the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X defeat the Intel i5 7600K? I think so. This budget 6 core CPU is a real game changer for those low bud...

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...
