I'm starting to f*cking hate this site for all the problems it's having as of late. I had to rewrite this whole post twice due to the mess this place is.

I was looking at them on here that had them same clock speeds as the 8 cores and they are different to the table you posted?

AMD Ryzen 5 Series Processor Lineup:

AMD Ryzen CPU Model	Cores/Threads	Base Clock	Boost Clock	L3 Cache	TDP	Socket	Price
Ryzen 5 1600X	6/12	3.6 GHz	4.0 GHz	16 MB	95W-SR3+	AM4	$259 US
Ryzen 5 Pro 1600	6/12	TBD	TBD	16 MB	95W	AM4	~$249 US

Ryzen 5 Pro 1300	4/8	TBD	TBD	8 MB	65W	AM4	~$165 US

I got that table from this Guru3D article: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-ryzen-launches-march-2nd.html

The problem here is, I think, that AMD still hasn't confirmed the specs of the 5 & 3 series, so it's still a bit up to speculation.

By the way, with all the hope and also hype behind Ryzen thanks to its comparisons to Intel's 8-core behemoths, here's a new leak that shakes all the positiveness a little bit and puts, in my opinion, things in their due place:

First AMD Ryzen 7 1700 vs Core i7 7700K Stock Gaming Performance Benchmarks in GTA V and Cinebench
http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1700-gaming-performance-benchmarks-leak/

Ryzen is faster in Cinebench (obviosuly, it has twice the cores and threads), but loses in GTA V

Testing setup:

• Intel i7 7700K / AMD RYZEN 7 1700
• Gigabyte Z270 Ultra Gaming X / ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero
• NVIDIA GTX 1080
• Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4
• Corsair 1000W RMX PSU
• Corsair H115i AIO Cooler
• Samsung 250GB 850 EVO

Ryzen is 5% slower on average.

Dell release a new HDR monitor and its price is too good to be true.

Quick Specs

Brightness

400 cd/m² (typical)

To be HDR10 (the standard) compatible, it needs to have a brightness of 1,000 cd/m². So this monitor uses an HDR solution from Dell (or maybe LG, which is probably the supplier of the monitor panel), which may or may not work with all HDR content.
