News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
Description of the processor
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600x is a 6-core processor of the manufacturer AMD. It is based on the Zen + Architecture of Zen Design (Pinnacle Ridge) and is manufactured in 12 nm in globalfoundries. He supports hyper-threading and can provide 12 logical processors. Multithreading applications benefit as well as virtualization and modern AAA games.Through its high clock frequencies, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600x is also very good as a game processor. There are already 3.6 GHz already in the base cycle. The frequencies can lift the processor with multi-core load to 4 GHz. Older applications or games that can only appeal to a processor core at the same time run up to 4.2 GHz.
It is released for the use of DDR4-2933 Memory. But faster memory modules can also be operated. For this purpose, the processor has two memory channels and supports dual-channel mode that significantly increases the memory bandwidth. The ECC error correction of the memory is supported, but requires a compatible mainboard with ECC support.
Due to its good price-performance ratio as well as its good stroke pleasure, the AMD Ryzen 5 2600x is a very popular processor on CPU-Monkey. It is often recommended to OC beginners, as the complexity of overclocking increases with the number of cores. AMD has provided the AMD Ryzen 5 2600x with a higher TDP of 95 watts, the standard for Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors is 65 watts. Due to the higher TDP higher clock frequencies are easier to achieve. In the overclocking, however, the 95 watts are significantly exceeded depending on the clock frequency of the processor.
The AMD Ryzen 5 2600X was presented in Q2 / 2018 at a price of $ 220. It has 16 MB Level 3 cache and supports modern virtualization functions as well as encryption via hardware.
