The Synology DS1522+ uses an AMD Ryzen R1600 — dual-core but capable

Synology went with an AMD Ryzen R1600 for the DS1522+, a dual-core processor running at 2.6 GHz base with a 3.1 GHz boost. Two cores might sound underwhelming, but the Ryzen architecture brings solid IPC and the clock speeds are high enough that DSM feels responsive. Just don’t plan on running half a dozen Docker containers.
