So, unless you're a gamer AND you have a 120hz monitor, Ryzen 5 literally butchers the Core i5.
It's also very interesting that there's barely any gap in single threaded performance in javascript. I don't believe Intel has an IPC advantage in non-encoding workloads, it's more like all in software. Software that needs optimization and things should be ironed out in the near future.
Now, all we just need is Apple and other OEMs to jump ship. It was a good ride, Intel. Good riddance.
$219 for 6C/12T, with a Wraith Spire thrown in ? Easy OC to 3.9-4.0 ? You can't beat that with a stick. Let alone with anything Intel sell for a similar price.

Most gaming tests age GPU bound.In rendering OC won't help K to win.
And there is R5 1600 for 220$ that can work at 1600X+ level.

This is by far the most comprehensive ryzen article ive sene to date since the release over a month ago.Variety of single threaded workloads, multithreaded workloads, and games with multiple graphics cards from multiple vendors at multiple resolutions.
Thank you.
Finally a real world gaming review on ryzen with multiple resolutions on multiple gpus from multiple vendors.
Ive been waiting for a review like this for the last 5 weeks.

Yes, it's an excellent set of benchmarks and review.Notmyusualid - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
Good work of missing out the 7600k results..mmegibb - Tuesday, April 11, 2017 - link
Yes, couldn't agree more. When I think back many years, I'm amazed at the number of quality reviews I've read at Anandtech.lilmoe - Tuesday, April 11, 2017 - link

Wow! I can't wait to get my hands on a 1600x and watch it grow arms and chop an Intel processor to bits right before my eyes.th3ron - Tuesday, April 11, 2017 - link
Console emulation is another area where Intel's ipc is well known. Just check the PCSX2 and RPCS3 forums.Fanboy fantasies don't replace facts.

R5 1600- Best VFM processor since the i5-2500K.$219 for 6C/12T, with a Wraith Spire thrown in ? Easy OC to 3.9-4.0 ? You can't beat that with a stick. Let alone with anything Intel sell for a similar price.
