AMD Rises againA powerful processor is a boon for gamers and demanding users looking for performance and efficiency. AMD Ryzen processors are designed to meet these demands. They are powerful, have many cores, a high cache and moderate power consumption. And to meet even the smallest demands,AMD Turbo Core technology will push the core frequency to the maximum when you need it most! As you can see, AMD Ryzen 5 is a powerful next-generation processor that is designed to do EVERYTHING. |
6 native cores and 12 logical coresThe AMD Ryzen 5 1600 desktop processorfeatures 6 native cores and 12 logical cores for powerful multitasking. Thanks to its high native frequency and Turbo Core mode that adjusts power as needed, the AMD Ryzen CPU delivers great performance in all areas: gaming, multitasking, video editing and more. The 16MB L3 cache also allows for fast processing of a large number of instructions with low latency. |

I recommend it.
Processor that did its job very well but unfortunately broke down after only one year of use.
It makes the games run in ultra but I'm putting them in low, no kidding. Wait, I have to do 200 characters. It's a very good processor, it does its job well :)
I bought it over a year ago now and this processor is still top notch for its price. It consumes very little power, only 65W for performance. The fan that comes with it does the job very well, it is quiet enough.
I recommend it.
This processor was the perfect choice as part of my PC upgrade. I upgraded from an Athlon X3 440 that was starting to show its age to this CPU and, frankly, I am not disappointed. I recommend it!
Replacing an amd athlon x4. main use photoshop and video editing. For video very big time saving on processing both on rendering and exporting for much less than a core I5.
I've been using it for a while now and it's been a great help to me.
This processor really does the job and I'm quite happy with it at the moment, I'll have to see how long it lasts but I think it will hold up, it has lived up to my expectations.
The Ryzen 5 1600 is humming along and everything is running smoothly. So far I haven't encountered any technical limitations.
Note that the Wraith Spire's hardware is quite stressful during installation; don't hesitate to look for a tutorial video to help you.
Moving from a first generation I3 to this CPU, I can't say anything bad about it. Originally mounted with a GTX 1050Ti, (then swapped today with a 1060 6g) allows good multitasking performance for less than its intel equivalent. The standard overclock support is handy to get the most out of the processor, and there's no need to worry about overheating, even with the fan included in the box. Very good processor for a gaming PC, even if the performance in game will drop a few FPS compared to an I5 8400 for example, but for the price difference, 5 fps are not worth 35€.
In short, a very good and versatile processor.
This processor is just perfect for the price. Also, for the ryzen 2600 even better: but for my use: 1080p limited to 60hz: there is no big difference (if we talk about games).
The performance is there and for the price, it's in the top 10 best performance/price processors of all time according to Passmark.
