THE REVIEW
Tested the r7 1700 and i can definitely say its like an i5 but with more cores and threads.....is the extra cores and threads worth the price?. A part of me says that the extra cores and threads makes the $329 price tag just OK, but i kept thinking about the fact that my i5 7500 from intel performs just about the same and i bought it around 200usd.
THE PRO'S
more cores and threads
more cores and threads
THE CON'S
about the speed of a i5 from intel
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend to wait for a price drop or wait for the ryzen5 because it might bring a better price to performance ratio
