AMD is getting ready to launch four Ryzen R5 SKUs, according to leaked information. If the report proves accurate, the company will launch the new mid-tier processors on April 11, and prices will start as low as $169. The 1600 and 1600X processors will feature six cores, while both the 1500X and 1400 series will come packing four cores, all with hyper-threading.
