The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E is a desktop processor with 6 cores, released in 2018. It is part of the Ryzen 5 lineup, using the Ryzen 2000 platform, and fits the AM4 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen+" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Ryzen 5 2600E has a base clock of 3.1 GHz and can boost up to 4 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen+" silicon on a 12nm process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR4 memory. ECC memory is supported, provided the motherboard enables it. With a TDP of 45W, the Ryzen 5 2600E is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 96KB/core of L1, 3MB of L2, and 16MB of L3 cache.
