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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Sometimes you can find 8-core processors labeled as AMD Ryzen 5 1600, and that's the honest truth. You can't make assumptions in advance. Overclocking is something I usually stumble onto by accident. At first, I was under the impression that Windows 10's software was malfunctioning when it reported just 8 cores; however, after running some tests and using a motherboard's native utility, I discovered that there were actually more cores, and the resulting synthek percentage was 30–35% higher.

Pros
  • Replaced the six nuclear cores with eight. Instantaneous 3650GHz overclocking.
Cons
  • The i5 Coffee Lake is marginally less powerful in gaming.
