According to the official AMD slides that have been leaked online, AMD’s upcoming quad-core and six-core Ryzen CPUs will be released on April 11th. AMD will offer four CPU models; Ryzen 5 1400, Ryzen 5 1500X, Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 5 1600X. The first two models will be quad-cores, while the latter two models will be six-cores.
Ryzen 5 1400 will be priced at $169, while Ryzen 5 1500X will be priced at $189. On the other hand, Ryzen 5 1600 will be priced at $219 and Ryzen 5 1600X will be priced at $249.
All of these new Ryzen CPUs will support SMT, meaning that the quad-core CPUs will support eight threads and the six-core CPUs will support twelve threads.
According to AMD, the Ryzen 5 1600X CPU offers a 69% performance boost in Cinebench over Intel’s Core i5 7600K CPU.
Last but not least, AMD’s Ryzen 3 CPUs are planned for a 2H 2017 release!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
