Der Ryzen 5 1600X kombiniert hohe Spieleleistung mit sehr hoher Anwendungsleistung zum fairen Preis.

With its lofty clock speeds, 12 computing threads, and reasonable $249 price, AMD's top-end Ryzen 5 chip is an excellent all-around compute performer. Just note: If you're gaming at 1080p with a high-end card, Intel's options still deliver better frame rates.

As unsurprising as the results are given we're just dealing with a similar CPU to the Ryzen 7 trio, just with fewer cores and threads, they are still significant regarding what the Ryzen 5 1600X means in terms of shaking up the mid-range CPU market. ...

There’s a saying that two heads are better than one and, well, six-cores are better than four. The extra processing power of the Ryzen 5 1600X puts Intel’s processors to shame, including both its closest competitor and a much higher-spec Broadwell-E part. ...

After testing Ryzen 5, and especially after seeing how its performance changed with optimized games, Ryzen gaming performance is clearly not as big of a deal as it seemed when Ryzen 7 first launched. ...

The Ryzen 5 1600X provides a tremendous price-to-performance ratio for budget workstations that rivals Intel’s Broadwell-E offerings. Ryzen 5 also provides playable performance in most games, but it lags the Intel competition and doesn’t have as much overclocking headroom.

AMDs Ryzen 5 1600X ist in Spielen fast genau so schnell wie die deutlich teureren Ryzen 7-Prozessoren und damit sehr gut für einen Spiele-PC geeignet, gegenüber den schnellsten (und ebenfalls teureren) Intel-CPUs hat er zum Release-Zeitpunkt aber noch meist recht klar das Nachsehen.
