I got the 1600AF at $85 but if I had to do it now with it being $105, I would spend the additional $15 and go with the 3300X for $120 at release. The 1600AF does slightly better than the 3300X in productivity apps but loses to the 3300X by a wide margin in gaming where it is on par with the 3600. See the Hardware Unboxed review of the 3100 and 3300X on YouTube and you can see in the graphs how the 1600AF fares. **Q: So this the Ryzen+ refresh of the R5 1600?** A: It is a R5 2600 in everything but name https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3547-amd-r5-1600-af-cpu-review-best-cpu-under-100 **Q: Those of you who are running this cpu, what motherboard are you using? was this cpu listed in the cpu compatibility list yet?** A: MSI PRO B450-A PRO MAX AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s ATX. No problems, despite the CPU not being listed (in AF variant) on the MSI approved CPU list. (With both v3 and v5 UEFIs.) **Q: If motherboard supports 2000 series ryzen out of the box, will it be compatible with this ryzen 1600 af refresh chip?** A: The Ryzen 5 1600 Af is 12 nanometer but is manufactured to work in 1st gen boards. (A320/B350/X370) it does not require a bios flash ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the best value for money CPU money can buy right now. *by D***A on 29 March 2020* For those that don't know, this is not just any old Ryzen 5 1600.. this is essentially a Ryzen 5 2600.

Con circa 100 euro si porta a casa una CPU che fa al 99% tutto quello che serve in modo egregio. Parlo di office, navigazione, ma anche programmi più pesanti come PShop o Autocad. Se affiancato ad una buona scheda video, non lo ferma nessuno. Se vogliamo trovare un difetto, forse il fatto che i 90 dollari (prezzo in america) sono diventati 100 euro... come al solito ci straguadagnano sul cambio...ma ci sono anche le tasse di mezzo.. Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia farsi un buon PC senza spendere le cifre richieste per i più blasonati (ma ormai nemmeno più di tanto) intel... insomma tanto arrosto e poco fumo.... ## Frequently Bought Together - AMD Ryzen 5 1600 65W AM4 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1600BBAFBOX) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU, Continuous Power with 120mm Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan, ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257809024-amd-ryzen-5-1600-65w-am4-processor-with-wraith-stealth](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257809024-amd-ryzen-5-1600-65w-am4-processor-with-wraith-stealth) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
