Article Snippet: "The $189 MSRP Ryzen 5 1500X quad-core CPU from AMD is quite competitive in games and can perform even better when overclocked to 3.9 or 4GHz. If you are purchasing this specific SKU mostly for streaming, video encoding or rendering applications, we would recommend a small upgrade to the Ryzen 5 1600 model which does feature two extra cores or even better, the fully-fledged Ryzen 7 1700."
