Description of the processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is a first generation processor from the Ryzen processor series of AMD. With these processors, AMD has blown towards the great counterattack against Intel, to which it is long behind it for many years.

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has a basic clock frequency of 3.20 gigahertz. In turbomodus, the clock frequency can be increased to up to 3.60 gigahertz, with single-core utilization, or to 3.40 gigahertz, with multi-core utilization. Like most all AMD Ryzen desktop processors, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 can also be overclocked and supports hyperthreading technology, where a physical core 2 logical cores will be able to run more computing operations at once.

A graphics unit is not integrated in the processor, here you have to additionally set dedicated graphics card. Here you currently have the choice between a model with NVIDIA GPU (Geforce) or you stay with the same manufacturer and installed a graphics card with AMD GPU (Radeon).

The 2 available memory channels support DDR4 memory modules with a clock frequency of up to 2666 megahertz. Furthermore, also supports memory with automatic error correction, so-called ECC memory. This comes to use where very sensitive data is stored to prevent so-called "bit flips".

To connect additional devices / cards to the processor, the AMD Ryzen has 5 1600 a total of 16 PCI Express version 3.0 lines.

The TDP of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is 65W and is normal for a desktop processor of this generation. The maximum possible temperature (TJUNCTION max.) The processor cores indicates AMD at 95 ° C.

The first quarter of 2017 AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is based on the "Zen" architecture and is manufactured in 14 nanometer. It supports both the "AES-NI" data carrier encryption and the virtualization technologies "AMD-V" and "SEV".
