AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
- Key Specs
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- L3 Cache: 16MB (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)
- General
- Product Name: Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
- Brand: AMD
- Model Number: YD2600BBAFBOX
- Compatibility
- Processor Socket: Socket AM4 (Type of pin configuration that connects a CPU to a computer’s motherboard.)
- Memory
- Cache Level: L3 (The cache stores data that the CPU needs to access quickly in order to complete tasks. Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)
- L3 Cache: 16MB (Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random-access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.)

- Instructions/warranty sheet
A: Yes, this processor is compatible, but you may need to do a bios update. Personally I would recommend going to an independent computer shop and see if they can do a bios update if you don't know how to do that yourself because its unlikely that Geek Squad will just do a bios update and processor install for you.
Q: Whats better this or the intel i5 9400f?
A: All depends on what you are using it for. The i5 9400 will slightly out perform the R5 2600 in single core and quads core performance, which means you would see slightly higher Fran rates in gaming and certain applications. The i5 is only 6 cores/6 threads. The r5 is 6 cores/12 threads. If you are doing something you need more threads, like rendering, then the r5 is gonna blow the i5 out of the water. All in all. I’d say go with the r5 because of price and the minimal difference in performance you get plus the hyper threading. I’d say if you put at least 3200mhz ram and overclock the r5 you would be able to close the performance gap between the two. However, like I said it’s a minimal performance gap.
Q: Is it faster than the fx series
A: Is not only faster but a better upgrade than the FX series
Q: Can this be used to upgrade a co.puter with an Intel I 7 proscessor
A: NO.This requires an AMD4 MB-COMPLETELY different!
A: Dip stick…leave computers alone. If you’d like an example why, go watch “Beverly Hillbillies” where Jethro shows how he’ll fool the bear. You’ll then understand, you don’t belong in the PC environment. Stated with humor and kindness!
