Familiar face

Due to a shortage of components, AMD took an unprecedented step and updated the long-released low-cost Ryzen 5 1600 processor (it’s easy to find it on the network by an additional AF index). Unlike the original Ryzen 5 1600, the new product is made using the 12nm process technology and is not what it seems at first glance.

The king is dead, long live the king!

As tests have shown, AMD made an inconspicuous gift to potential buyers by using second-generation crystals to manufacture Ryzen of the first generation. Therefore, in fact, we have the good old Ryzen 5 2600, but with slightly lower frequencies (standard 3.2 GHz instead of 3.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz instead of 3.9 GHz in boost) and a more tasty price tag. Considering that all generations of Ryzen run on socket AM4 and don't require an Intel motherboard upgrade, it's no surprise that the 12nm Ryzen 5 1600 was an instant hit. And when will you see a 6-core processor with multithreading for a hundred-plus dollars?

Overclocking to 4.2 GHz

Further more. The novelty boasts an improved memory controller, it is more energy efficient and overclocks better. Our test unit was able to hit 4.2 GHz at 1.4 V. You can go even further, but that's the lot of sports overclocking. Given that the regular Ryzen 5 2600 hit the same ceiling of 4.1 – 4.2 GHz, it turns out that overclocking finally erases the difference between the Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 5 2600. The work with RAM has also improved, unlike its predecessor, the new product is able to keep the memory frequency without problems up to 3600 MHz.
