Review: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - That Funky 199 USD One

Review: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - That Funky 199 USD One

We look at that non-X model Ryzen 5 2600. The 'regular' six-core proc is a few tenners cheaper compared to the 2600X, but really, it's the same stuff. It's just that the X is better binned and has better default clock frequencies.

Nice review, as usual, HH... ;) I agree with you--if I'm going to go with a new cpu (to replace my 1600 @ 3.8GHz) then I should go with the 2700x, or stay put. THe one thing I've noticed from MSI is that the x470 boards all support the 1.0.0.2a AGESA, whereas the x370s have not been updated beyond 1.0.0.1a AGESA. I'm wondering what the difference is, if any. It would be nice if MSI would include that information in its bios update descriptions.

Agree with HH the non-X procs are still a great value, but the X versions are the better deal overall, esp. the 2700X-- totally opposite situation from the 1000 series launch last year.

Poor 2600x users, should've gone with the cheaper model.

Yeah, I have been looking into that, looks like the latest FC5 patch or drivers increased Quad HD perf a tiny bit (less than 2% though). That or something has been bugging the initial 2600X/2700X measurement. Checking things and will rerun the test (and update) with a 2600X and 2700X.

Updated.
