Complete comparison between an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor and an Intel i5 7600K processor, to see which one is better in synthetic benchmarks and in video games, with an interesting result.
We have analyzed the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and AMD Ryzen 7 1700 processors, in addition to the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and AMD Ryzen 5 1400, but now we bring you a comparison of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor with the Intel i5 7600K processor. AMD's processor has six cores and twelve processing threads, while Intel's solution has four cores and four processing threads and both are in a fairly similar price bracket. The PCWorld specialized medium has made a complete comparison between the two.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
The AMD processor is based on the Zen architecture and has six cores and twelve processing threads using SMT technology, allowing each core to have two processing threads to speed up tasks. This processor has a frequency of 3.6GHz and a Boost mode of 4GHz and also has XFR technology, which offers a little extra power. This processor has a total of 16MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 95W.
Intel i5 7600K
Intel's solution is somewhat simpler, based on the Kaby Lake architecture and has four cores and four processing threads. This processor works at a base frequency of 3.8GHz and a Boost frequency of 4.2GHz, which offers a 3MB L6 cache. This processor offers a TDP of 91W and has integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 graphics that have 24 Execution Units, ideal especially for multimedia tasks and for simple games at 1080p resolutions.
Synthetic benchmark comparison
We must emphasize that the analysis of processors and graphics is usually divided into two parts, on the one hand the synthetic benchmarks and on the other hand the gaming benchmarks and we will start with the synthetic benchmarks. We see how in the benchmarks where the amount of processor prevails, the AMD solution wins quite easily, but in tasks where the frequency is what matters, the one who wins is the Intel processor, so we have a kind of technical tie.
Benchmark games comparison
We see in this case that Intel continues to dominate in a higher average in what are the games, something that we already knew, because as we have once commented, there are still few games where more than four cores are used. The difference is more or less minimal in most cases, only the difference is big in the Sleeping Dogs, where there is almost 50 fps of difference and the Rise of the Tomb Rider which is almost 100 fps in favor of Intel, while that the AMD processor wins only in the Ashes of the Singularity.
Conclusion
If we look at the prices, for gaming the AMD processor loses against the Intel and not only in the results, the Intel processor costs € 250 and the AMD processor costs € 270. We see that in this case it would pay off, for gaming, to use an Intel processor, but this we know is changing due to the improvements that AMD is making in optimizing its processors and game developers, who are also optimizing games for AMD solutions.
I think this article lacks information, for example, the two builds, since as is known for a ryzen build you need high frequency ram memories. And honestly, from my point of view, it is fine to compare prices of a cpu to another, but I think that in these particular cases, you would have to include the price of the plate and heatsink, since the one who goes to mount one of these processors will most likely have to update the plate. For the rest I agree with your article.
The Intel K series does not have a heatsink, like the ryzen 5 1600x because it has X at the end, the ram memories here are still no improvements in amd only up to ddr4 2400 would be similar fps the amd boards only enough an ASRock AB350M-HDV 69 dollars 89 dollars, there are cheaper chipsets https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157765 or maybe asus PRIME B350M-A there are cheaper a320m chipset
Thank you very much!
I already investigated the plate that was used is a B350 tomahawk and the Geil evo 8GB ddr4 2400 memories that cost 109 dollars https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820158024

the core i5 7600k is with an Asus ROG Maximus IV face plate with a ddr4 2933 http://www.pcworld.com/article/3186811/computers/ryzen-5-review-vs-core-i5-ryzen-5-1600x-wins-for-best-mainstream-power-cpu.html
It seems strange to me that the ryzen processors are only using 50% of their power, in exchange for Intel using 100% of their processor. And remember that ryzen need more mhz of ram
The opinion of this man is seriously biased in favor of Intel, all his articles that he publishes speak ill of AMD. It is not an opinion to take into account, it lacks objectivity and technical knowledge.
I find the same all your news is in favor of Intel and as I have said before, Intel worked badly for me and since I changed to AMD it has worked super well for me, all I find that Intel is paying it to make this news in favor of Intel. I should report a bit more before speaking or making a news about Intel and AMD.
So it seems, I think that anyone can make a comparison and that their results deviate where you want!
