According to our processor expert
The AMD Ryzen 7 1600 has an AM4 socket and only works with 300-series and 400-series chipsets (like X370 or X470). Make sure your motherboard has the right socket and chipset, otherwise your processor won't work.
The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is a mid-range processor with a computational power that rivals that of top models. With its 6 cores and a whopping 12 threads, the processor is very suitable for those who wish to do many things on a computer at once. This AMD cpu is also excellent for playing less complex games, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or Grand Theft Auto V. Compared to similar processors, the Ryzen 5 1600 is very energy efficient. That means you need a less heavy power supply in your computer. The cpu works at a standard clock speed of 3.2GHz and a turbo speed of 3.6GHz. What if that's not enough? You can always overclock the Ryzen 5 1600X, thanks to the unlocked multiplier. This makes it even faster.

An amazing CPU for a rock bottom price.
This is a CPU with what you would call a sweet spot in price and performance for gamers and heavy users. Apparently the enormous performance and low price have not gone unnoticed by many people, which is why it is sometimes difficult to buy.
In many cases it performs identically to the AMD Ryzen 7 1800x, which is twice as expensive and beats a fat (expensive) i7
It has 3.6GHz with turbo boost 4GHz, the same as the top-of-the-line Ryzen 7 1800x, just with 2 cores less for half the price. Equally priced Intels, do with a lot fewer cores and threats. And they really die when it comes to multithreat software, or if you run more demanding programs at the same time. (e.g. rendering movie and gaming at the same time)
Unbeatable CPU and a strong competitor for a fat I7.
My son is now playing Battlefield 1, with a 1080 nvidia GPU in 4K resolution and the CPU is doing well with about 10% load. So this is really not an average engine in processor country, but a beast of a CPU with a pleasant price tag.
I put this CPU to the test with a very heavy spreadsheet with data. It's quite a surprise to see that 1.5 GB data spreadsheet open in record time. It also contains calculations, which Excel recalculates upon opening.
My current FX8350 (which already does that fine) takes about 6 minutes, now 3 ! So that's twice as fast.
Furthermore, I am pleasantly surprised that it is able to merge two tables (460,000 lines) in one minute (VLOOKUP). A command that data analysts use very often and which often causes long waiting times.
You have to experience it to appreciate it.

beautiful product, keep in mind that the ryzen cpu's perform better in combination with +2666 mhz ram, the stock cooler also has no LED lighting and the cool paste is already pre-applied on the cooler.
