AMD Ryzen 5 2600 vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700
As we posted recently, AMD has updated its range of multi-core processors for the AM4 platform. The senior representatives of Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 tested in various benchmarks. Yet, many Ryzen 5 vs Ryzen 7 reviews mentioned that these both CPUs have a kind of interesting relation. They differ only in core-thread number, clock frequencies, and price, almost. The price makes Ryzen 5 2600 even a bit more interesting in terms of building a “budget PC setup”, because, unlike Intel, the AMD favors overclocking of any processor in the Ryzen family, so that different frequencies are only different by default, and in practice, they can become the same.
Of course, most of the users are reluctant to perform overclocking. But for a large chunk of PC enthusiasts, it seems advantageous. And the Ryzen 5 2600, like the Ryzen 5 2600X, is equipped with six dual-threaded cores - but in his case, the savings are even more relevant, because it is the "old" Ryzen 5 1600 is the cheapest solution with the "wheel configuration" 6/12.
So let’s take a closer look at these two.
