Ryzen 1500X to 5600 Upgrade
This document briefly summarizes an upgrade from the Ryzen 1500X to the Ryzen 5600.
It is worthwhile to note that either through a BIOS upgrade or some greater compatibility of the 5600, that the XMP Profile was able to be activated for the RAM. This should result in 3200MHz post-upgrade vs. 2400MHz pre-upgrade.
The unscientific aggregate percentile increase from all tests below averaged to 151.228%.
