Ryzen 5, for the most part, is slightly faster than Core i5. When you consider the slightly higher clock speeds and improved IPC of Core i5, that’s actually a pretty significant win in this GPU ...

Leo follows up with his launch review of the Core i9 13900k, with the more budget offering (well almost) the Core i5 13600k.

The official Battlefield account on X posted the specs, with the minimum requirements being 16GB of RAM and 75GB of storage ...

The Ryzen 5 7600 managed 1,833 and 14,639, respectively. That’s about what we’d expect the disparity to be, considering the additional cores in the 14400 giving it a leg up in multi-threading.

This meant the 2600 was now 19% faster than the Core i5-8400 when comparing the average frame rate. I'm quite shocked by these results given how poorly Ryzen performed last time I tested with ARMA 3.

Without a GPU, it can go as low as $160, about $50 less than the i5-13400F. The latest Ryzen 5 processors also look competitive here, but it still costs more to assemble a socket AM5 PC.

The Core i5-12600K is available to pre-order for around $300, meaning depending where you are in the world, it will sit level with or undercut the Ryzen 5 5600X. However, it has more cores at 10 ...

Even compared to the Ryzen 5 2600X, though, the Core i5-9600K has issues. It has significantly lower amounts of cache and like the Core i7-9700K, it lacks hyper-threading, so only has six threads.

Closing Remarks When it comes to gaming it's fair to say there's no wrong option here and the Ryzen 5 2600X and Core i5-9400F are evenly matched.

Ryzen 5 copes better than Core i5 in heavily threaded workloads, while Intel's chip pushes ahead in less complex scenes. This shot from our Crysis 3 benchmark shows the tipping point, with Ryzen ...
