2600

Looks like a 200MHz lift in frequency over last year. Not much. https://wccftech.com/amd-2nd-generation-ryzen-5-2600-asus-crosshair-vii-hero-x470-leak/ This thread has quickly turned into a troll thread. OP make his contributions to the current, Ryzen 2 thread here...

On the fence about a purchase decision. So far here are my thoughts: i7 2600 pros: 8 threads i7 2600: cons: No overclocking i5 3570k pros: overclocking, slightly higher IPC, newer it 3570k cons: 4 threads/no HT CPU will be used for general office use/watching videos and light-moderate gaming...
