AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm)

The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) Pinnacle Ridge CPU is a good choice for powerful PCs that are made to handle graphics software, video editing, or modern video games. a good dose of processing power for all programs and computational operations courtesy to its clock speed. If need be, this CPU will automatically overclock to a whopping 3,6 GHz, briefly increasing the output of your computer system. The so-called memory cache of the CPU has a total capacity of 16 MB in the case of an L3 cache and 3 MB with an L2 cache. The processor uses 12 nm manufacturing technology, which means it belongs among the most modern chips available.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) CPU Overclocking Capabilities

The CPU uses automatic clock speed adjustment to manage both the power consumption and general processing load. If the system experiences increased processing load, the CPU will automatically boost the clock frequency to reach 3,6 GHz. The AMD Ryzen 5 Pinnacle Ridge CPU enables you to easily change the base core frequency via manual overclocking as well. It features an unlocked multiplier for it and can put up with heavy processing load. However, overclocking causes a rise in TDP, which for the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) CPU is 65 W. This CPU model comes with an extra heatsink, which is not particularly suitable for for extreme temperatures. If you want to experiment with overclocking, you should invest in a different, sufficiently powerful cooling solution.

What Else Can the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) CPU Do?

People working with professional software will appreciate the Multi-threading technology on the CPU as well, which lets every CPU core to run multiple processes concurrently. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) CPU also includes virtualisation, which is a great thing to have. It allows you to run several virtual machines on one real PC if you have the VMware platform.
