There's tons of tests on how well this CPU performs with games especially mainstream games that I do not need to go into as I'm more into video stuff so watching YouTube videos in 1080p is something else coming from 480p tho without realizing it I still find myself watching in 480p at times. Old habits. Watching 1080p HEVC videos with no lag is again something else to behold, heck, Ryzen 5 2600 isn't on his final form yet with that stuff. [Edit Oct 2020] Viewing 4K YouTube videos is also no issues either. Exceptions of course is based on your internet speed's capacity to buffer fast. Not sure about watching in 4K HEVC video tho since my monitor is only 1080p.
[Edit Oct 25, 2020] Video encoding can take 30 min to 10 hours depending on the length, resolution, and which chroma sampling profile is being used, any filters will add to the encoding time. A 24 min clip with veryslow or placebo settings (with filters) are no problem speed-wise with H.264 10 bit encodes. From either 4:2:0 or 4:4:4 chroma sampling profile finishes it up quick with 18 thread encoding speed! This coming from almost an entire day's worth on my old PC's pitiful 3 threads using the same settings. Regular H.264 8 bit will use 15 threads as its max (if --thread=0 is used) and will obviously be much faster then its 10 bit counterpart. I recommend trying out tesa + subme 11 mode with either profiles if time isn't an issue.
Not tested it with HEVC as of yet.
[Edit - Oct 25, 2020] A few sample tests using HEVC 4:4:4 720p with veryslow and sea mode settings (no tune) of a 24 min clip took about 2-13 hours depending on the amount of filters being applied (such as heavy-duty filters like Anti-Aliasing) with max 12 numa-pools (it's kinda like --thread in H.264 but not really?) if left at its default. The profile 8 bit, 10 bit, or 12 bit will either shorten or increase the time, However, the trade of will be higher quality such as more smoother gradients decreasing banding, color format (both at the cost of increased computation during playback) and of course the chroma sampling being used. Be mindful if your target is compatibility tho consult with the x265 documentation if interested especially with the release of HEVC 3.0 (GCC 8.3.0) which brings a number of changes such as the addition of the tune animation.
To be noted all of this was done on a single Crucial 8GB DDR4 RAM which rarely hit 100% RAM output doing all of the above while encoding but I may add an additional 8/16 GB RAM in the future especially for any 1080p (and 4K) HEVC encodes, so you may want to increase your RAM if that's your target. Further note, if you watch streaming videos such as YouTube while waiting for your video to finish up be certain not to open so many browser tab. The RAM will increase closer to 100% if you've got just 8 GB, speaking from experience.
I purchased this through the OutletPC seller and they were able to help me out on my concerns and questions as a first time CPU buyer though it wasn't the best of help it got the point across regarding the handling of the CPU and the chances of being a root cause when troubleshooting hardware issues getting the PC to boot properly.
One of the best things about this processor is that it comes with the Wraith Stealth Cooler, which is not only quiet but also keeps the processor running cool, so you don't have to worry about overheating and thermal throttling.
The Ryzen 5 2600 is a bit older model and its clock speed might not be as high as some of the newer models, but that doesn't mean it's not a future-proof processor. It's still a great option for anyone looking for a powerful and efficient processor that won't break the bank.
Overall, I highly recommend the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler to anyone looking to build a PC that can handle anything you throw at it. It's a turbocharged powerhouse that you won't regret getting! 4 stars.
* Power: Six cores and 65W rating means the purchase price alone will be offset by power savings in the first 18-24 months.
* Speed: Six cores x 3.4GHz processing speed will drastically reduce the time to transcode videos and increase the number of clients I can support with my Plex server, while serving up all the other services I run on the box.
* Value: Six cores from the competitor will run about $100 more for the CPU alone. Add the extra 30W (95W TDP vs. 65W TDP) and the power bill for the competitor equivalent will be about 35-45% higher. I also read somewhere that AMD hasn't been changing the socket requirements and forcing users to buy new motherboards with subsequent processor generations, which is yet another plus as long as this holds true (and is technically feasible).
The only word of caution I have is this: If you're performing a new build and don't have any older AM4 CPUs lying around, I highly recommend checking your potential choice of motherboard for processor compatibility prior to ordering. I chose a B350 board and had to get a boot kit from AMD to facilitate a BIOS update to make this CPU work with it. This oversight cost me more time and hassle since I was unwilling to seek out or pay for alternative solutions to my issue. In the future, I'll be sure to check the vendors' support sites and make sure I buy a motherboard that supports the CPU from its "Base" BIOS version.
My only complaint is that the hold-down screws for the heatsink have too much spring tension, which makes threading into the backing plate a bit challenging. I also ended up rotating the fan 90 degrees on the heatsink so that the logo would not obstruct the DIMM slot. I could have oriented the cooler's logo over the heatsink on the opposite side by rotating the cooler 180 degrees instead but felt it was worth the effort to "fool-proof" myself.
I have a 3rd generation i7-based PC that I will more than likely replace with the AMD Ryzen 5 in the near future. In fact, I look forward to it.

Top reviews from other countries
Tras 8 meses de uso intensivo no podría estar más satisfecho, he esperado un tiempo prudencial para hacer la reseña. Todas las semanas montamos equipos de Gaming, hasta hace unos meses sólo montábamos procesadores INTEL®, pero con la nueva generación de Procesadores Ryzen®, Amd está ganando de nuevo terreno en el mundo de las CPU. Este es un procesador de gama media con unos resultados más que excelentes.
MUY IMPORTANTE: Si te haces con este procesador asegúrate que la placa base que compres sea compatible con la 2ª generación de procesadores RYZEN (las que vienen con el chip X470 ya vienen preparadas, y no tendrás que andar actualizando la bios), aunque en cuanto puedas yo actualizaría la bios de la placa para evitar problemas futuros.
Como comento en el título es una opción excelente si no quieres que tu equipo se salga de presupuesto. Tiene un consumo de 65W, y una velocidad base de la CPU es de 3,4 Ghz, llegando hasta los 3,9 Ghz, si quieres hacer un overclocking extremo este no es el procesador adecuado, prueba mejor con un Ryzen 2700X.
Cuando monté el equipo quería probar unos componentes nuevos para tener conocimiento en persona de su funcionamiento y poder asesorar a mis clientes en futuras compras. Con el Setup que tengo ahora mismo montado me mueve a 60 FPS en resolución FULLHD (1920x1080) “todos los juegos del mercado” (Fortnite, SW Battleground, SEKIRO, GTA…).
Compré este procesador porque cuando monté el equipo no quería pasarme mucho de presupuesto (cosa que finalmente se desmadró), pero 150€ por este procesador era y es un chollo. En un futuro montaré un Ryzen superior ya que adquirí un monstruo de placa para hacer un Overclocking a lo bestia, aquí os dejo la review de la placa base. (en mi opinión mucha placa para este procesador, pero desde siempre la P.B. es el componente al que dedico mayor parte del presupuesto a la hora de montar un equipo, y no he petado una placa en 15 años, procesadores he quemado unos cuantos ;) ):
Enlace a placas base compatibles con CPU’s Ryzen de segunda generación:
✔️Gama media: MSI X470 Gaming Plus
✔️Gama media/alta: Asus ROG STRIX X470-F
CONFIGURACIÓN EQUIPO GAMING GAMA MEDIA:
• P.B: MSI X470 Gaming M7/AC
• CPU: RYZEN 2600 3,4Ghz hasta los 3,9 Ghz. Socket AM4
• RAM: G-Skill 32Gb 4x8Gb, 3200Mhz.
• VGA: Radeon Sapphire RX580 8GB DDR5.
• SSD: Samsung EVO 970 M2 NVME 250GB
• SSD SATA: x2 Crucial BX200 500GB
• Torre: Thermaltake Core P3.
• Refrigeración: NZXT KRM22.
• Fuente: Tacens Valeo 800W 80+ Silver.
Con esa configuración me mueve todos los juegos a 60 FPS estables EN FHD (1920x1080p). Si quieres jugar en ULTRA (4K), esta configuración se te quedará corta, personalmente lo he probado con un simulador de carreras y baja a 20FPS, con mucho lag, ghosting...
✌️Un saludo a tod@s.👋 ;)
