Family 16h (also known as fam16h, or ambiguously as fam16) is a family of AMD microprocessors corresponding to the Jaguar and Puma microarchitectures. Outside the PC hardware space, it is notable for use in the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 families of eighth-generation game consoles.
Like other AMD family names, 16h ("16 hexadecimal") is a mostly-arbitrary, somewhat-sequential (new processor families receive unused higher family numbers) number, returned by the x86 CPUID instruction as a "Family number", and commonly written in hexadecimal. 16 in hexadecimal corresponds to the number 22 in decimal, meaning that while "Family 22" would also be a valid, if confusing, name for these CPUs, "Family 16" could also refer to Family 10h.
