The best value CPU on the market at the moment, 6 cores 12 threads, like an i7 with less GHz for the price of an i3! AMD is on a winner with Zen architecture, the performance gap has dramatically shrunk compared to the previous, pathetic A series chips, making AMD in general a good buy again. This particular CPU is the price/performance sweet spot for gamers looking at FHD 60FPS+ gaming in current titles. Yes, an i5 8000 series would be better for games, but it also costs at least a hundred more, which you can put into the graphics card instead & get more bang for your buck. With this particular CPU the only downsides are no integrated graphics and the little Wraith Stealth included cooler is pretty marginal on this CPU if you fully load it up (think Handbrake encoding for hours pegging all cores, not gaming), ideally they should have shipped it with a Wraith Spire. If you don't overclock however it'll be fine, and you can always get a big air cooler or AIO or whatever later if money is tight.Read full review

Installation of AM4 CPUs is more difficult than LGA115X, for someone who doesn't have steady hands. Use the boxed cooler or a cooler that uses screws, not the AMD latches, they are unwieldy and leave marks on the heatspreader. This CPU can operate with DDR4 ECC UDIMMs on certain Gigabyte, ASUS and Asrock motherboards, but ECC isn't 'supported' or validated by AMD, and ECC UDIMMs aren't binned like Gamer DDR4. This chip is good buy for 2/3s of the price of the Ryzen 5 3600, if it comes with the cooler, in late 2019.

Comparing with similar solutions like i5-7600K, the R5-1600 has a similar performance even working at a lower speed (R5 at 3.2-3.6 GHz vs i5 at 3.8-4.2 GHz), is cheaper, has lower TDP (it's stock cooler is enough for working) and has more cores/threads for virtualisation... it's just what I need.

Great product but if you plan to put it into a B350 or X370 motherboard you will need to upgrade the bios on those boards, from manufacturers website, using a 1st gen Ryzen chip else it wont boot. Once bios is upgraded replace with the second gen chip like this one and it will run brilliantly. Or else pay 'a little' more just get the new B450 or X470 motherboards. Great Chip!

The Ryzen 5 2600 is the best value for money processor on the market. For 200AUD (what i paid) it's an absolute steal and almost as fast as the almost 500AUD 8700K in most tasks save for gaming. Even in gaming the 2600 performs amazingly well alongside a GTX 1070 or Vega 56. Not to mention the AM4 socket still has some even more impressive CPUs on the way should you ever feel the need to upgrade.
