Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 1600

  • CPU is newer: launch date 4 year(s) 6 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 4 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 2
  • 10 more threads: 12 vs 2
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 14 nm vs 32 nm
  • 3.6x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • Around 50% more L2 cache; more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • Around 54% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2066 vs 1339
  • 9x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 12285 vs 1364
  • 2.1x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 900 vs 425
  • 7.8x better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 4987 vs 638
