The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is a six-core, 12-thread desktop processor for Socket AM4. It is built on AMD's Zen (Summit Ridge) microarchitecture and made on a 14nm FinFET process. It runs at a 3.2 GHz base clock and boosts up to 3.6 GHz with Precision Boost.
It supports dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory and has a 65W TDP. It has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. It works with AM4 motherboards including B350, X370, B450 and X470 chipsets, and some boards may need a BIOS update.
This is a used CPU pulled from a working machine. Minor surface scratches may be present. No cooler or heatsink is included, so a compatible AM4 cooler is needed.
