5 Things to Know About the QNAP TS-873A's AMD Processor
- The TS-873A uses an AMD Ryzen V1500B, a quad-core embedded processor running at 2.2 GHz.
- AMD’s embedded V-series chips are rare in consumer NAS hardware, but they deliver strong multi-threaded performance.
- The QNAP processor supports ECC memory, which is a major advantage if you run ZFS or prioritize data integrity.
- This chip is a significant upgrade over Intel Celeron processors commonly found in similar-priced NAS units.
- The V1500B is not a desktop Ryzen, so don’t expect high single-core speed or gaming-level performance.
