Synthetic Tests
Next, we show you the results of the performance tests performed on this and other processors in calculation benchmarks (wPrime), rendering (Cinebench), coding (x264), memories (Aida64) or focused on games (3D Mark).
Games
Unlike the problems we had with the X370 platform, this time we were able to check the result in games without any type of contingency.
Temperature, Overclocking and Consumption
Under an ambient temperature of 20ºC, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 offers temperatures of about 40 ° C at rest and about 55 ° C in its stress test, a high value compared to the best results obtained with the reference heatsink under the X370 platform, so we will have to wait for Ryzen Master software to check it again, it is not logical that they have increased with a liquid cooling.
On the consumption , to say that it has improved notably remaining around 155W for the complete equipment in the stress test of Aida64 (without discs or GPU).
In our tests, we have managed to reach 4.30 GHz with 1.5V, although they are not stable. We have also managed to lower to 1,456V for the 4.10 GHz , this time if completely stable. With this, we have managed to go from 1,260 points in Cinebench 15 to 1,289 points , an improvement of 2.5% , and from 16,133 to 16,315 in 3DMark Fire Strike , an improvement of 1% .
conclusion
As we already anticipated in the review of the X370 platform, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 supposes a review of frequencies on the
Ryzen 5 1600 , something that improves its performance by around 10% . We speak of an improvement of the kind that Intel usually offers us, so the price is the one that will mark whether it compensates or not. However, the great improvement is found in the treatment of memories and performance in games , which is not burdened as in the first generation of Ryzen processors.
We can now find this AMD Ryzen 5 2600 for sale in stores like
PcComponentes or
Amazon for about 200 euros , a price that competes directly with the Intel Core i5 , which excels in multi-threaded tasks and resembles in the rest of functions.
Main advantages
+ Good performance / price ratio for professional environments

Negative aspects
- Nothing to write home about
Other Aspects
* OC capacity similar to the previous generation
From El Chapuzas Informático we awarded the Gold Award to the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 .
