An exceptional gaming and mid-tier workstation processor.

I like to think of the AMD Ryzen 5 as the ideal middle ground for most consumers. It's unlikely you'll need more performance than what's included unless you plan on doing some more demanding tasks and gaming, but for most consumers, it's more than enough. The Core i5 series held the crown for too long and now the second generation 2600 from AMD aims to tackle its competitor and steam ahead with some killer improvements.
