AMD Ryzen 1600

Amazon.com: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler  (YD1600BBAEBOX): Computers & Accessories

This CPU is more of an all around type of CPU. It is not very expensive, and it has the minimum requirements for being a gamer CPU. However, I believe that it would be best used as a business CPU. It is not very expensive, and it has fairly good specs for a business CPU.

Specs:
Clock Speed: 3.2GHz- Max Turbo 3.6GHz
CPU L1 Cache: 576KB
CPU L2 Cache: 3MB
CPU L3 Cache: 16MB
Socket Type: AM4
6 Cores 12 Threads
CPU rating on passmark: 10,401
$201 (Newegg)

Overall, my review for this CPU would be a 9/10. It has exceptional value for the price it is listed at, but the one flaw I found with it is that it is an older CPU, so there are likely better CPU’s that you could buy for this price. Installation and everything went on without a hitch. The CPU runs great, and everything feels smooth. Not a lot of problems with the CPU, it is a reliable choice, and I would definitely recommend it.
