Reviews
AnandTech
On performance, for anyone wanting to do intense CPU work, the Ryzen gets a nod here. ... For e-Sports, and most games based on DX9 or DX11, the Intel CPU is still a win here.
TechRadar
The AMD Ryzen 5 1600X isn't a just an affordable chip for gamers and media creators, it an incredible package that puts multi-core computing on the mainstream map.
tom's hardware
Ryzen 5 1600X provides a tremendous price-to-performance ratio for budget workstations, rivaling Core i7-6800K. It also facilitates playable performance in games (though it still lags Kaby Lake-based Core i5s more often than not).
GameSpot
The bottom line is you get great bang-for-the-buck performance for most video and image processing tasks and a competent gaming CPU.
