The Ryzen 5 1500X has the potential to be a disruptive product for AMD, one that wrecks through Intel's sub-$200 CPU lineup, and we are relieved to report that it did succeed to an extent. Suddenly, Intel's sub-$200 processors, including the Core i3-7100 dual-core, Core i5-7400 quad-core, and $206 Core i5-7500, seem like bad options. Intel is giving you too little for the money. Intel's "Kaby Lake" architecture continues to maintain per-core performance leadership over AMD's "Zen," but not by much thanks to the latter's huge leap in core performance over previous AMD chips. The Ryzen 5 1500X processor also gives you so much more for its $189 price - 4 cores with SMT enabling 8 threads (competing Core i5 chips lack HyperThreading), higher clock speeds out of the box, and unlocked base-clock multipliers. Intel has the gall to ask $189 for the dual-core i3-7350K with unlocked multiplier and half the L3 cache.
