4 Things to Know About the Synology DS1522+ Processor
- The DS1522+ uses an AMD Ryzen R1600, a dual-core processor running at 2.6 GHz base with a 3.1 GHz boost.
- Two cores may sound underwhelming, but the Ryzen architecture delivers solid instructions per clock and high speeds, making DSM feel responsive.
- Do not expect to run half a dozen Docker containers on this CPU—it lacks the multi-core muscle for heavy virtualization.
- For a NAS focused on file storage and basic applications, the Synology processor is capable and well-matched to the hardware.
