Ryze Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ryzen 5 is said to release April 11. There are going to be 4 models (1400, 1500X, 1600, 1600X), ranging from 4 to 6 cores from $170 to $250. The Ryzen 5 1600X is said to be 69% more performant than the i5-7600k (which recently came out and is a great Intel processor) in Cinnebench. If the statement holds up on release after we get some benchmarks from youtube reviewers and such, would anyone make the switch to Ryzen 5 or stick with Intel? Ryzen 3 is said to hit in the 2nd half of the year. I myself might check what Ryzen 3 has to offer since it'll be cheap and probably has some good performance in it and maybe build a 2nd PC.

Image Ex Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I thought this was an announcement on a name change for you. After talking to Ruthless, I'm not doing a Ryzen build. Going to spend a little extra on Intel like Fortis said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtor_who Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Intel i7 7700k for me at the moment. Until AMD steps up their gaming area, intel is the way to go. even though Intel processors have a higher overall gaming performance and better price to performance, AMD ryzen has much higher minimums and framerates will be much more stable which makes the experience much smoother than its Intel counterpart.my suggestion is to go with Intel where high single-threaded performance will benefit you and with AMD if gaming is not your only priority and also do some multitasking.

Bunker_Squirrel Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I haven't looked at Ryzen too closely since I just recently purchased a computer, but it looks pretty sick. If AMD Keeps this degree of innovation up, I may end up switching to team Red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
