Review on AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AM4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1600BBAFBOX) - 65W Energy Efficiency by Wiktor Paul ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

The processor is happy. I took it to replace my old Core i7 3770, whose memory controller died the day before. The choice was between Core i5 and Ryzen 5. With similar characteristics, the AMD processor turned out to be a slightly lower price, the cache is 1.75 times larger at all levels, although the frequency is slightly lower. The operating temperature turned out to be slightly higher than that of the predecessor in my system unit (45° versus 30°). When installing the OS, there were several dances with a tambourine, but the processor had nothing to do with it :) I just noticed that it is not supported in Windows 7 and Windows 8. Not to say that in fact the new computer turned out to be cheap, but nevertheless I recommend the processor in its price range.

Pros
  • + cache size; + number of cores; + speed; + price.
Cons
  • - not supported in Windows 8.1 and below; - heat dissipation; - no built-in video processor.
