8 core Ryzen 5 1600? WTF?

Guys,

I built a PC for a friend. Ordered a Ryzen 1600 (without box/cooler (tray)). After I put together the system and tested it, the Firestrike physics scores were a bit too high for a r5 1600. Found out it has 8 cores.

Any way it’s broken or something or is just a free upgrade?

pics as proof lol

That happens, although it's super fucking rare. Congrats.

Damn, how rare? Like 1 in 100k thousand? Found only one instance of it happening.

Only seen one other example of this posted on these forums a year or two ago.  Very cool, probably is rare but I doubt that translates to being valuable as Ryzen 1700s can be found cheap.

Yah that was a thing for a couple chips somewhere, there are a couple examples out in the wild from what i have seen :)

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

there was news a year back or so about a batch of 1600s that someone screwed up on when locking down a couple of fully working cores, so they end up being a 1700 with a different name. bascially, you got very lucky.
