CheeseMan42 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 AMD just made a big splash in the desktop CPU market with the release of the Ryzen 7 yesterday, and it has now announced the next additions to the Ryzen lineup. First up are the Ryzen 5 1500X and 1600X with four and six Zen cores, respectively. The 1500X will have a base clock of 3.5GHz and a boosted clock of 3.7GHz. The 1600X has a base clock of 3.6GHz and a boosted clock of 4.0GHz, giving it the same clocks with less cores as the 1800X. AMD didn't give exact pricing information on either chip, but did state that Ryzen 5 would cost between $199 and $299, making the 1600X a great alternative to the 1800X for users that don't need the extra cores. Further down the line is the Ryzen 3 which is expected to utilize four cores at a price below $200, putting it in competition with the Intel i3 lineup. Ryzen 5 chips are expected to be available between April and June of this year while Ryzen 3 is expected in the second half of the year.
