Thanks to new AMD Ryzen lineup, they are able to provide direct competition to the Intel Core Processors. This time they are aiming at low budget users which don’t need much computing power or cannot afford Intel’s hundreds of dollar worth CPUs. The new Ryzen 5 provide topnotch performance due to six core architecture and Simultaneously Multi-Threading (SMT).
