AMD Ryzen 5 1600X and 1600 models are designed for smooth gaming and broadcasting, and deliver true workstation-class performance in a new market segment. The 1600X and 1600 models are two of the highest-performing and lowest power 6-core desktop processors that consumers can buy, with 12 threads delivering a decisive advantage in multi-core processing capability in its price level.

AMD Ryzen 5 1500X and 1400 are designed for performance gaming and processing featuring 4 processor cores with 8 threads for high performance gaming and processing, with AMD SenseMI Technology to analyze and adapt to customer needs. To deliver the best gaming experience possible, the 1500X features up to 200MHz of XFR (extended frequency range) when used with superior cooling– among the largest extended frequency ranges seen on an AMD Ryzen processor to date.

The Right Processor for Streamers

In the last five years, eSports has grown to be a global phenomenon on track to reach $1 billion in revenue by 2019. In turn, eSports has made broadcasting game footage a major trend, and with certain games being extremely CPU-intensive, simultaneous gaming and streaming is acknowledged to require a multi-threaded CPU design. For this rapidly growing audience of gamers, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor, with 6 cores and 12 threads offers a highly accessible solution for high-quality 1080p/60 FPS/3500Kbps game streaming.
