The new AMD RYZEN chip is AMD first CPU series going back what is ages in the industry that is able to go toe to toe with what Intel has fielded. Up until now, AMD focused more on the budget minded consumers, However that has all changed with RYZEN!The RY...

The new AMD RYZEN CPU series has proven to be a huge breakthrough for AMD and is the first time in a long while that they have been able to put up a good hard fight with what Intel has to offer. In our tests, the RYZEN 1500X really proved just how compete...

The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X is the newest 4-core, 8-thread processor to come out and at $189.00 it might make for a compelling budget system build that won't break the bank. This AMD Ryzen 5 CPU is a 65W TDP part that has a base clock speed of 3.5GHz and can ru...

The AMD Ryzen 5 1500X at $189.00 shipped is a nice quad-core that we were able to easily overclock up to 4.2GHz with no issues at all. The performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 1500X overclocked up to 4.2GHz was pretty damn good, but it wasn't able to catch up t...

Even if we are dealing with a 65W TDP SKU (as the Ryzen 7 1700), this particular 4-core model does feature XFR so the clocks can jump as high as 3.9GHz when the conditions are met. As the more expensive models, we have 16MB of L3 cache, 512K L2 cache per...

AMD's initial launch of its all-new “Zen” architecture and Ryzen chip platform—with its high-end Ryzen 7 chips—was a tad bumpy, though positive overall. The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X and Ryzen 1700X can, in a general computing sense, take on Intel chips that cost...

Coming in swiftly behind its big brother we have Ryzen 5. This is AMD ‘s offering for the more budget-minded PC user. Today we'll be looking at the hex-core 1600X and the quad-core 1500X. These CPUs both have the XFR technology we've seen from the Ryzen 7...

Well, the performance is pleasantly surprising. The 1500X, in most cases, performed on par with the i7-7700K. Even though you can overclock the i7 further, the MSRP of the Ryzen 5 1500X is only $189. That's a monstrous difference in price/performance. E...

So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...
