AMD fixes its positions with the budget line of processors Ryzen 5

Announcement of three models of processors flagship line Ryzen 7 marketers AMD made pretty nervous of the company Intel. The latter even slightly lowered the prices of its solutions in order to remain competitive in the market where it dominated for many years. But AMD, it seems, is not going to stop there and introduced a line of Ryzen 5 processors, which almost anyone can afford. The processors of this line will be on sale very soon - on April 11.

So, what is Ryzen 5? The new line consists of five models in the price range from 169 to 249 dollars per processor. Created Ryzen 5 were in order to compete with Core i5 processors from Intel. I think that now you have noticed the pattern in the names. Ryzen 7 was created in contrast to the Core i7, and Ryzen 5 will compete for the palm with the Core i5. AMD's strategy is simple: to create powerful enough processors, but at the same time to ensure their affordable cost, which should once and for all show competitors that can be done qualitatively and inexpensively. So far, AMD is doing pretty well, if you believe the recent test results.

The most budgetary (169 dollars) quad-core Ryzen 5 1400X simultaneously processes 8 data streams and operates at a frequency of 3.2 GHz, accelerating if necessary to 3.4 GHz. TDP processor is 65 watts. The second model Ryzen 5 1500X differs only in the base frequency of 3.5 GHz and the ability to accelerate to 3.7 GHz, and it costs 189 dollars. The third model Ryzen 5 1600 contains six cores and processes 12 threads, while the TDP remains unchanged. Its frequencies are 3.2-3.6 GHz, and the cost is 219 dollars. It closes the four models Ryzen 5 1600X with six cores, twelve streams and frequencies of 3.6-4 GHz. TDP increases to 95 watts, and the cost of the model is 249 dollars.

What is most unusual, new processors will be delivered complete with standard coolers. These devices are called Wraith Stealth (it will be bundled with Ryzen 5 1400) and Wraith Spire (Ryzen 5 1500 and 1600). Such an approach will definitely find a positive response among consumers who do not have to spend additional money to cool new processors. While the results of tests for a new line of processors have not yet appeared on the Web, but AMD assures us that they noticeably make Intel models comparable in frequency and number of cores due to competent optimization of multi-core computing.
