RYZEN 5 Pricing and Specs - 4 NEW SKUS!!!

2017-03-15
what's going on guys welcome back to the channel today is very exciting indeed because AMD has just revealed their new lineup of rising 5 CPUs oh my god so for those of you who are unfamiliar this the rising 5 stack falls just behind the rising 7 family in terms of performance however we're going to see a lot more aggressive pricing with these particular options than rising 7 which makes it a very attractive deal for budget gamers or content creators alike we've got four new SKUs to discuss today in relative detail AMD didn't give everything away but we certainly know a lot more than we just did yesterday so we're going to be talking about those four of these parts two of which are 6 core 12 thread the other two SKUs are four core eight threads so definitely a nice range of options and capabilities between these various CPUs in the r5 lineup we're also going to be seeing all of these SKUs launched on April 11th so mark your calendars get your wallets ready this is going to be fantastic and this is really just right around the corner if you're watching this video around the time of upload I also want to mention that all four of these SKUs are going to be featuring unlocked multipliers so all you overclockers out there can go ahead and tweak and tune your various clock speeds higher than what they're rated for out of the box and then lastly I wanted to mention that sense mi is also going to apply to all of these parts as well since mi again is just AMD sort of umbrella of technologies to really improve the user experience and the performance of the chip itself this includes things like precision boosts XFR and the like so on that note let's go ahead and talk about our first chip here which is the flagship six core 12 thread part the 1600 X the r5 1600 X which is MSRP that's now word for just 249 dollars and that's very exciting actually puts it very competitively priced with the core i5 7600 K however it's got two more cores and four more threads which is super awesome we've also got a base clock of 3.6 gigahertz with a boost of 4 gigahertz and I believe that's going to be single core don't quote me on that that was one detail that AMD left out but I think that 4 gigahertz boost is going to apply to a single core or a single threaded workload you're probably gonna have to manually overclock it in order to apply that frequency to all cores just how we saw with rival 7 as far as XFR goes AMD was also leaving us in the dark as far as what kind boost we could expect from xfr if it was just going to be another 100 megahertz overclock similar to what we saw in the 1800 X for example or if it's going to be something completely different we don't know at this point but XFR will in fact be there we've also got a 95 watt TDP on this particular chip this is the only part in risin 5 that is rated at 95 Watts TDP all the other skis are 65 watts so bear that in mind this is also the only skew and r5 that is not going to come bundled with any cooler so it's just going to be the part Alucard I'm rhyming now and I would assume that's because the 1600 X is going to appeal mostly to the enthusiast crowd and they're probably going to want to bring in their own CPU coolers anyway but nonetheless a very exciting SKU that I can't wait to get on the test bench and just see how she flies next up we've got the 1600 which is the other six core 12 thread part in the risin 5 line up this is going to be retailing for two hundred and nineteen dollars very attractive price points here with 3.2 gigahertz out of the box base with a boost up to 3.6 gigahertz again we don't know how X bar is going to affect this particular part the 1600 will shape with a 65 watt TDP and will also come bundled with the Wraith spire cooler very similar to the one that comes packaged with the r7 1700 however all of the spire coolers that come bundled with our five parts will not feature any LED blinks so to speak so that glowing ring around the fan will just simply not be there everything else is this thing and then we've got two more SKUs to talk about here which are going to be our four core eight thread parts also very exciting especially given the price points our first one here is the 1500 X which is going to be MSRP again for one hundred and eighty-nine dollars very competitively priced here four cores eight threads a boost clock of 3.5 gigahertz boosting to 3.7 and for this particular CPU AMD actually did give us a clue as to how X bar was going to function with this particular part so we're actually going to be seeing an X afar boost up to 3.9 gigahertz potentially which is a 200 megahertz boost or twice as much as the 100 megahertz boost that we saw in the 1800 X for example but 3.9 gigahertz potentially right out of the box it's very exciting like the 1600 the 1500 X is a 65 watt TDP chip that is going to be bundled with the Wraiths fire cooler non LED version now finally we have our entry-level 4 core 8 thread part with r5 lineup and this is the 1400 at just $169 MSRP super-attractive price point here a base clock of 3.2 boosting 3.4 the 65 watt TDP chip will come included with the race stealth cooler which is a slightly smaller version of the race spire at least from the looks of the pictures and that's pretty much it those are all the specs that I have for these four new parts within the risin 5 family very exciting stuff I think the risin 5 stack is going to create more of a disrupt honestly in the desktop CPU market than than risin 7 did of course I want to speak too soon on these things until we have the parts in our test beds and whatnot but very exciting nonetheless you guys let me know if you feel the same way in the comments and also which one of these skis so far stands out to you the most and which one would you really have your eye on based on performance and pricing and things like that so that's going to do it for now guys thank you so much for tuning in I know this was a short brief and sort of a high-level video on risin 5 but it's a huge announcement that I want to share with you guys so hopefully you enjoyed it feel free to toss me a like on the video if you did and I'll be seeing you guys very soon have a goin guys I'll see y'all in the next video
