AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Processor Review

CPU by stefan @ 2017-04-11

For the mainstream Ryzen 5 series, AMD has prepared for its customers not one but two hexa-core SKUs: the Ryzen 5 1600X but also the Ryzen 5 1600. Ryzen 5 1600X does have the same operating frequencies as the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X model, which means a 3.6GHz stock speed, 3.7GHz all-core boost, 4GHz 2-core boost and also 4.1GHz max boost with XFR. The Ryzen 5 1600X does also have the same 16MB of L3 cache, 512K L2 cache per core, 95W TDP and comes in a 3 + 3 CCX configuration.

Core i5 7600K VS Ryzen 5 1600X Test Results Part I

The first Intel CPU we will compare the Ryzen 5 1600X against is the Core i5 7600K (Kaby Lake), which can be seen as a product from Intel's lineup with one of the best price/performance ratios. In order to compare the platform with newer architectures/systems, we have used a 16GB memory kit @ 2133MHz with default timings, a KFA2 GTX 1060 OC 6GB video card, one Cooler Master 850 PSU, but also an OCZ Vector 150 240GB SSD. The platform was running on a fresh Windows 10 Anniversary installation while all hardware was mounted inside a Cooler Master ATCS 840 Tower case.

Of course, we have left the results versus the Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700 inside the charts too, to serve as reference in both stock and overclocked modes.
