New AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF CPU Review & Benchmarks vs. Original, R5 2600, & 3600

AMD somewhat silently released a new CPU -- the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF -- which is technically a better R5 1600, but with the same name. It's a 12nm part rather than 14nm, something we confirmed with AMD, and that brings with it benefits for power efficiency, overclocking headroom, and even stock performance (in a significant fashion). In this benchmark, we're looking at the AMD R5 1600 "AE" (the original) versus the R5 1600 AF, the R5 2600 (which we need to do some refreshed testing on once we're back from CES, but it hasn't changed much), and the R5 3600. The R5 1600 AF impressed us, especially at the budget CPU price, and has established itself as one of the best budget CPUs for gaming or light production workloads.

 

 

 

oh dear this truly redefined the budget

I got a good deal with motherboard + CPU combo from Micro-Center back in 2018.  + $25 dollar rebate from Gigabyte was a great deal.  So basically I'm fine atm.  But this new Ryzen 1600 AF seems to be meh.

i got a Ryzen 5 1600 + Gigabyte AX370 Gaming from newegg in 2018's black friday for $149.

 

It was a good deal.....until the motherboard took a shit. The new B450 I got is leagues better.

The Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 is good no issues so far.  The only downside is my GPU which is a RX560 4GB.

im trying to help a friend build a budget pc and this r5 1600 at 85$ really sparked my eye.. but im not sure which motherboard to recommend for him since the new part is a gen 2 12nm part rather than 14nm.. i dont know what socket it fits in or if it was even changed, i just feel safer asking the question than diving in blind. thanks for anyone who responds :)

Honestly wondered this myself if they fit in old boards without bios updates.

It'll fit ANY AM4 motherboard.

To find out if it's supported, you pick the mobo, go to the manufacturer site and be sure the cpu is supported via the cpu/memory support lists.

 

The new 12nm 1600 chip is right between a 1600 and 2600/2700 in the way of stock performance. 

So for the price, it's a decent chip. 

 

But I'd run that on a B450 or X470 as this generation of chipset was build for 12nm 2000 series Ryzen processors.

okay thanks very much man, that’s kinda what i figured that it would be best on X470 but i just wanted to ask someone knowledgeable.
