I think the Ryzen 1600 "AF" offers better value for money. It's priced at $85 and uses the 6c/12t AMD architecture, which is essentially the Ryzen 5 1600 built on a 12nm process. (GamersNexus has a helpful video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRO_AUdmfis)

Even the R5 2600 offers good value nowadays. The 12nm R5 1600 seems hard to locate, especially in Canada.

When purchasing these items, buyers typically operate on a limited budget. This often means they match the graphics card to entry-level or lower-mid range options. In such cases, the third generation offers minimal advantage. Check the GPU scaling benchmark here: https://www.techspot.com/review/1968-ryz...g-scaling/ It’s better to opt for a 1600AF instead.
