Cpu amd ryzen 5 2600 review năm 2024

Now it's time to do some gaming and first up we have Ashes of the Singularity running on the DX12 API. The Ryzen GPUs would fair a lot better in this title with a Radeon GPU as we've shown a number of times in the past, unfortunately right now AMD doesn't have anything competitive in the high-end so it makes sense to test with a GTX 1080 Ti.

In any case the Ryzen 5 2600 is still respectable and overclocked edges out the stock 7700K and 7800X, it's also not a great deal slower than the 8-core 1800X and 2700X.

Moving to Assassin's Creed Origins using the ultra quality preset and we see that the 2600 it only slightly faster than the 1600 out of the box. That said unlike the 1600 it does see a decent performance bump once overclocked, though something limits the AMD CPUs to around 98 fps in this title, could it be the Nvidia display driver? I'm not sure on that one but I'll look into it soon.

Dropping down to the high quality settings we see a similar performance limitation for the AMD CPUs, this time capping them at around 107-110 fps, where as the Coffee Lake and Kaby Lake CPUs are good for over 115 fps though here they appear to find the limits of the GTX 1080 Ti.

Overclocked the Ryzen 5 2600 is able to roughly match the Ryzen 7 2700X and that meant it was 8% faster than the 1600 maxed out at 4 GHz. So a decent step forward here for AMD at the $200 price point.

Reducing the GPU bottleneck with the medium quality prest does once again allow the Intel CPUs to run away with it making them a better choice for high refresh rate gaming as I've noted in the past.

So what about that non-X model Ryzen 5 2600 eh? Surely you have seen some reviews on it already, but the majority of the media simply used a 2600X and downclocked it, which doesn't paint a precise picture, at all. We received the actual Ryzen 5 2600 SKU, and this 'regular' six-core proc is thirty bucks (199 USD) cheaper compared to the 2600X (229 USD) model, but really, it's the same stuff. It's just that the X is better binned and has better default clock frequencies. However, if you are willing to tweak a bit yourself, you can save 30 bucks and retrieve the very same performance. The Ryzen 5 2600 has six-cores and twelve threads and is ready 'n waiting for you at a pretty spectacular value price. A perfect piece of silicon for proper threading and gaming? Well, let's find out!

AMD has been going strong the past year, rattling all the cages with an Intel logo on it. From top to bottom they have been able to compete with Intel, introducing quad-core processors in the entry-level segment, six and eight-core for the mainstream, and up to 16-core processors with Ryzen Threadripper at the enthusiast level PCs. It has been a year already ever since AMD launched the first generation Ryzen processors. It had a bit of a rocky launch with the inter-core latency discussion a 1080p gaming performance as well as memory support. But the tide definitely turned for AMD as more and more people are considering to purchase an AMD processor-based PC, for their next purchase. The memory compatibility issues are mostly all gone, of course, we'll look at game performance in this article as well. But yes, things are looking good.

Ryzen Series 2000

AMD launches the new Zen+ update of Ryzen. Pretty much, these are the very same processors, yet tweaked a bit and now fabricated on a smaller fabrication node, AMD reached 12nm. Smaller fabrication of chips always comes with challenges, more overly, bigger benefits. There's often a little more room to play with voltages and frequencies. Last year's Ryzen processors had a frequency dead-spot threshold of roughly 3.9~4.0 GHz with some exceptions here and there. The new 12nm generation, however, can be clocked a notch higher. The upper range frequencies at 4.2~4.3 now are feasible, that also means that on the lower end of the spectrum, AMD is now capable to increase base-clock performance ion the more high-end parts. All these little tweaks bring the benefit of an overall faster processor series. Add to that improved memory latency and improved XFR2 ranges and you'll notice that the new Zen+ generation now has become a really viable and more competitive product. So the ones that have not made a move towards AMD Ryzen just yet, now potentially could or will.

Ryzen 2000 thus are 12nm Zen+ optimized Ryzen processors, the 'refresh' SKUs so to say. 12nm Zen+ processors will work fine with your X370 chipset based motherboard and vice versa, however, AMD will launch the new X470 chipset alongside these new Zen+ processors. The new chipset should offer small improvements in combo with the new 12nm products. To facilitate better XFR revision 2 options, AMD is releasing the X470 chipset, all optimized for the latest generation Ryzen procs. We'll address X470 in separate motherboards reviews though. This article will be all about the Ryzen 2000 series. This review covers the Ryzen 5 2600 (6c/12t) priced 199 USD. We’ll go into more detail on the next few pages, of course. The Ryzen 2000 series 7 and 5 processors are six and eight core processors competitively priced, combined with a nice performance increase over the last generation products. Overall we have lots to talk about and to look at, let’s start up the review on the Ryzen 5 2600, shall we?

Is the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 good?

AMD's Ryzen 5 2600 provides excellent performance in productivity applications and competitive frame rates in games. It's also an attractive choice for anyone building a PC in a compact case, given a 65W TDP.

Is Ryzen 5 2600 old?

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in April 2018, at an MSRP of $199.

Is Ryzen 5 2600X still good in 2023?

Yes, it's ok. You can do better for a similar price though. The Ryzen 5 2600X normally isn't a good option to buy now in 2023, but if you already have it, or can find one for less than about $70, it's a good match for the RX 6600 and B450M Pro-M2 MAX.

How long will Ryzen 5 2600 last?

How long is the expected lifetime of a Ryzen 5 2600? For gaming on a 75 or 60 hz monitor I suspect it will be fine for a good 4 years +.
