I'm in the market for a new build, and am looking heavily into the Ryzen 5 lineup.
Here's my question: Does the TDP difference between chips have any real world effect on performance?
The TDP numbers quoted are what I assume to be under the AMD-defined base/boost speeds, and overclocking will increase total heat output, but in terms of thermal design, is the 1600 inferior to the 1600X? Are the X-series chips simply binned 1600's?
I have seen a 1600 hit 1600X base speeds, but inherently does the 1600X have more potential?
Thanks in advance
