We'll get started with my personal favorite, Fortnite, a game I've started livestreaming from my personal account on Friday nights, so if you want to get in on that action feel free to join us, it's a lot of fun. We'll go over about a dozen of the games tested and then we'll take a look at the 25 game average. To find out just how much of a performance boost R5 1600 owners are looking at, we'll be comparing it with the 5600 in 25 games at 1080p and 1440p using the Radeon RX 6950 XT and RX 6600 XT with SAM enabled. In terms of performance, it's pretty good, basically matching the 5600X and therefore it's comparable to similar priced Intel Alder Lake parts.įor those of you already in possession of an AM4 motherboard, the Ryis a no-brainer and if you happen to be using a first generation 300-series motherboard such as the B350 Tomahawk you're in luck as the 5600 is now a drop-in upgrade. A few months ago, AMD finally released the Ryfor $200 (not to be confused with the 5600X which launched in late 2020), though it's usually selling for ~$175. The nearest Intel competitor was the Core i5-7600K and while it was a solid gaming CPU in 2017, about a year later it was starting to become inadequate.Īlthough the R5 1600 has unquestionably aged better, in 2022 its performance is very much entry-level. The Rywas released in April 2017 for $220, and at the time it was a cracking good deal, especially if you were building a PC for both productivity and gaming. We've already performed the BIOS update, installed the 5600, and we're now going to show you the results. This article is not an upgrade guide, rather as you'd probably expect from us, it's a benchmark session, where we'll be taking an old Rysystem using the MSI B350 Tomahawk and upgrade it with the Ryzen 5 5600.
