AMD Ryzen 5 1600 vs Intel Core i7-7800X: 30 Game Battle!

[Ian]

TechSpot have a very detailed comparison of the Ryzen 5 1600 vs the Intel i7-7800x. 30 games are tested and benchmarked, and there is a reasonably wide range of results:

If you care at all about value, the Ryzen 5 1600 is clearly the way to go. This is why we recently named it the best value performance desktop CPU. It was unlikely that the Core i7-7800X was going to change that, but we hoped the performance would at least be a compelling reason to buy Intel's new six-core processor.

Ryzen will hit 4GHz with the box cooler but it will be a more mild experience with a $20 aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master 212, so keep that in mind. The 7800X on the other hand cannot be overclocked to 4.7GHz using a 240mm AIO closed loop solution. Instead, it required a $380 custom loop setup to achieve that result.

If you were building a budget gaming PC, which CPU would you choose?

I think you would be mad not to go Ryzen tbh!

I have a 1700X CPU, but it'll be awhile before I manage to get the pennies together for the rest.

It's very refreshing to see AMD back in the game after all this time .
