CPU by stefan @ 2017-04-11

For the mainstream Ryzen 5 series, AMD has prepared for its customers not one but two hexa-core SKUs: the Ryzen 5 1600X but also the Ryzen 5 1600. Ryzen 5 1600X does have the same operating frequencies as the flagship Ryzen 7 1800X model, which means a 3.6GHz stock speed, 3.7GHz all-core boost, 4GHz 2-core boost and also 4.1GHz max boost with XFR. The Ryzen 5 1600X does also have the same 16MB of L3 cache, 512K L2 cache per core, 95W TDP and comes in a 3 + 3 CCX configuration.

Introduction

 

 

At first, we would like to thank AMD for sending out their AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600X hexa-core processor for testing and reviewing.

 

 

 

About AMD:

 

“Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Sunnyvale, California, United States, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets. While initially it manufactured its own processors, the company became fabless after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009. AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors and graphics processors for servers, workstations and personal computers, and embedded systems applications.

 

AMD is the second-largest supplier and only significant rival to Intel in the market for x86-based microprocessors. Since acquiring ATI in 2006, AMD and its competitor Nvidia have dominated the discrete Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) market.”
