ElChapuzasInformatico has published what appears to be a full review of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600, a hexa-core chip with 12 threads. Check out the benchmarks as see for yourself.
Ahead of its April 11th launch – and before the NDA lifting – AMD’s Ryzen 5 1600 has already been put through its paces in a review, courtesy of website ElChapuzasInformatico.
Some memory compatibility problems seemed to surface during the review (the website used a MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium paired with four modules of G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 3600 MHz @ 2400 MHz.) Other specs for the test system include a Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1200W PSU, a Kingston SSDNow KC400 128 GB SSD, another SSD in the form of a Corsair LX 512 GB, and a 64-bit version of Windows 10. The six-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 1600 acts as was already being predicted – namely, as an equivalent to the more expensive, media-powerhouse Ryzen 7 1800X and the other 8-core, 16-thread processors in the AMD lineup. Other workloads will, however, be affected, due to the 2 less physical (and 4 logical) cores grunting away at any given task. I’ll leave you with the pretty pictures, so you can get an early impression for yourselves.
