The Intel Celeron G1850 is a budget dual-core processor for desktops. Released in the first half of 2014, this Haswell based version replaces Ivy Bridge Celeron processors such as the G1630 and are estimated to yield up to 10% improved performance. Hyperthreading technology and turbo boost are not activated but the base clock speed of 2.9 GHz enables a reasonable effective speed of 74. This may not be enough for power users but it's ample for home theatre PCs. The Intel HD Integrated Graphics are not powerful, but they are sufficient for playing 1080p movies. Further, the TDP of 53 Watts means that the G1850 is a low power, low heat and therefore low cost processor. Coupled with an SSD and a decent graphics card the G1850 will give a reasonable user experience. ^{[Nov '14 CPUPro]}

The Ryzen 5 1600 is one of four new Ryzen 5 processors released this month. Based on the AMD Zen architecture, which is comparable to Intel in terms of IPC, the Ryzen 5 1600 has six cores which is more than the vast majority of games are able to use (most games cannot use more than four cores). Ryzen 5 CPUs offer gamers better value for money than the eight core Ryzen 7 models released last month. With six cores the 1600 is approximately 75% better at multi-threaded tasks than Intel's quad core i5 flagship – the similarly priced i5-7600K, the 1600 however, has 25% lower single and 33% lower quad core scores. The 1600 has stock base/boost clock speeds of 3.2/3.6 GHz and its price tag of $219 includes a cooler. Assuming a modest overclock of 10% brings the 1600 within striking range of the 1600X which is the Ryzen 5 flagship. The 1600X sports stock base/boost clocks of 3.6/4.0 GHz but costs $30 more than the 1600 and ships without a cooler included in the box. The Ryzen 5 1600 is the best value for money six core CPU we have seen to date. ^{[Apr '17 CPUPro]}
