AMD Ryzen 5 1600 already selling

It seems that some consumers already have been able to order Ryzen 5 processors, interesting as these should not be available for another three weeks.

Likely it was a mistake at a distributor somewhere, and a shop or two didn't care. And yes, you will have to travel to Paraguay and find the shop, but somebody in Paraguay is shouting "who's your daddy!" :-)

Of course, to skip the embargo date by this amount, well that's just steep alright. The photos have been posted on Reddit, the end-user who has his hands on that platform bought a Ryzen 5 1600 (six-cores enabled processor) and a MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard.

I want to see how far they can OC and tweak that 1400 and 1500 actually. If it can hit 5 GHZ and strike within 10% of a 7700k clock to clock, those would be awesome gaming cpus.

I guess the gaming performance will be the same but productivity performance will be lower due to fewer cores.
I assume these will overclock to ~4.0Ghz just like their bigger brothers do.
If that's the case they will be a great value for money upgrade for those on old i5's.

Depends, so far it looks like Broadwell-E 68xx, 69xx OC,
8core 4.1-4.3ghz
6core 4.3-4.5ghz

I guess with 4core ~ 4.5-4.7Ghz.
