The AMD Ryzen 5 1600X vs Core i5 Review: Twelve Threads vs Four at $250

Our legacy tests represent benchmarks that were once at the height of their time. Some of these are industry standard synthetics, and we have data going back over 10 years. All of the data here has been rerun on Windows 10, and we plan to go back several generations of components to see how performance has evolved.

That wasn't my point, readers shouldn't go elsewhere to compare with CPUs that are excluded due to bias.Meteor2 - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
What relevance has a $340 CPU got to a $250 CPU review?vladx - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
I'd say a ton more than the $499 Ryzen 7 1800x which didn't get excluded.psychobriggsy - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
Yes, it's in the same product line, so people can see how it compares.Which seems to be roughly around 80% of the 1800X, for around half the price.

And 7700k is more relevant for gaming which was the subject at hand so there you go.Meteor2 - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
You didn't answer my question...vladx - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
I just did, 7700k is more relevant than a 1800X in gaming benchmarks and as the competition it should've been included if a $499 CPU from AMD is included.psychobriggsy - Wednesday, April 12, 2017 - link
7700K is at a different price point, it rightly was compared in the Ryzen 7 reviews.Regardless, it would lose in the multithreaded benchmarks still, whilst having a small extra advantage in the gaming results.

Ryzen 1800X is even more expensive than 7700k and yet got included in the gaming benchmarking, ironically considering 7700k is much more relevant for gaming.Sorry, but the bias and double standards are obvious in the article.
