- In today's episode, we look back at the CPU that, in my opinion, restored trust in AMD and marked the end of Intel's monopoly over Desktop CPUs.

Whoops, typo at 3:54, meant to say "bumped down". Didn't catch it until now haha.
It's a cpu that's aged extremely well, but hardly anyone uses these days because of how easy upgrading away from old first gen ryzens are thanks to the extreme compatibility of the AM4 platform.
Great point.
I still used it up until March this year. And switched to 5950x 😁
my first ever pc build was with the ryzen 5 1600… time flies 😅
There was 2 releases of these 1600 chips. The latter which off the top of my head forgot the Id of it but any who it was based on Ryzen 2600 tech. I got that CPU for $85 before scalpers got it due to how good it really was. That jumped up the price to $150. No matter what it was a great chip and I am using mine in a Linux Zorin test system now. I had it in a Chat only system and ran things like Paltalk, FB, and YT. Did great and is still doing great.
1600AF is 2600, 1600AE is the og ryzen 5 1600
You should have mentioned the 1600AF, built on GF 14nm process and was basically a 2600 for 1600 money.
It was even cheaper when I bought it. $85. It's now running a buddies system as my main system is 3900x and I have 3600 and 5600 system as well, though with junk class(1030) gpu in one and a sub entry level(1650) in the other.
Beast of a CPU for the cash
Skipped the first gen myself and got a 2600 in 2019. After that, it's been just Ryzen for me (2600 -> 3600 -> 5800X).
keep up that quality is wild for a smaller youtuber
Thank you!
This chip was the reason the Intel i5s started having 6 cores, it wasn't till April 2018 that i5's now had a 6 cores, 6 threads, being able to finally compete with amd. (A year later after the release of the Ryzen 5 1600 and variants.).
Remember that we had 7 GENERATIONS OF INTEL WITH 4/4 TO 4/8 CORE/THREADS, Competition is good fellas.
Amd definitively turned the tables, for GOOD, the i3 processors stopped having 2/4 core/threads and actually became a more competitive option starting on the 8th gen.
We've reached a point in consumer PC hardware where a Ryzen 1600 is wild overkill for the web surfing and MS Office type stuff that most people do, especially with something like a GT1650 so you have a decent GPU to go with your CPU, since the 1600 has to have something. You have to game competitively or get involved with some pretty specific software to justify upgrading from those two parts and their attendant boards. You could also still do a lot of gaming with them. That's crazy, because the 1600 and the 1650 are pretty old parts, and they were both low-end budget offerings at the time.
They’ve aged like wine but I think that speaks to CPUs overall reaching a point where generational improvements aren’t as drastic as they were in the early 2010s. Sure, they’ve improved a long way since the days of the 1600, but overall as others have noted for it being a “low end 6c” it’s still plenty capable of running modern games at a respectable frame rate.
I'm running a 1650 paired with an i5 8400, probably the competitor to the 1600. And yes it can run many games very well and is more than enough for office use
@@finnbianga4189 nice, in my opinion, really anything made in the last 10 years or so of the caliber of the 1600 is still solid enough to be used today bar a few extreme use cases.
@@eternaliam finally someone who gets it, my friend likes to roast my pc all the time lol
Dual 1700x owner here
Still purrs on till this day even though I've got Zen 3's 5700x
Not all CPU purchases are for gaming you know.
Yeah if I were to redo the video now that I have more CPUs to compare everything against I’d throw in some CPU exclusive benchmarks to see how it stacked up. But for the sake of comparison I should’ve compared CPU workloads of the 1600 to something like a 4770K so that’s my bad. At the time I didn’t have too many CPUs to compare data against from the era the 1600 was launched unless I went way modern with a 12900KS which would absolutely smoke the 1600. I’ll do better with future videos, hope that’s understandable.
my first ryzen cpu then ryzen 5 5600 then ryzen 5 7500f, it's enough if you doesn't push 200fps++ in comp games like valorant and cs2,but it's not enough in emulator like yuzu and rpcs3, sometimes pcsx2
i bought one a couple weeks ago fullset with the wraith spire for $37 lmao... might wanna upgrade to 5600X in a few months
If you have the PSU requirements and a better cooler get the 5700x3d instead.
the ryzen 5 2600 should be better choice at around $5 different in aliexpress..these kind of cpu should be a good upgrade for budget gamer that still has i5 2nd,3rd and 4th gen
Using a lower budget AMD CPU with a higher end Nvidia GPU is a very bad idea with the well known driver overhead hit to fps. An equal level AMD GPU will do a good bit better. Good topic, well done.
Thanks! Also I appreciate the advice, I’ve wondered this exact thing when benchmarking. The only reason I use high end hardware is just to expose potential bottlenecks a little better. But I’ve needed to look into high end AMD GPU as the only high end card I have is a 3080.
A glorified low-end 6c!
