AMD's Ryzen 5 1600X and Ryzen 5 1500X CPUs reviewed, part one

AMD is wasting no time filling out its Ryzen CPU lineup. Just a little over a month ago, the company's eight-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 CPUs roared into the high-end desktop market, where they delivered a huge boost in bang for the multithreaded buck. Today, the company's Ryzen 5 CPUs take the fight to the $170-to-$250 price range, also known as the meaty middle of the CPU market. AMD's strategy here is the same as it's been for many years: offer more cores and threads than Intel does for the money. This time around, though, the Zen architecture's much-improved IPC and competitive power efficiency could offer much more steak to go with the sizzle.
