AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Processor (6C/12T, 35 MB Cache, 4.4 GHz Max Boost)

Product Information

The 3600 with a Gammaxx 400 outperforms the 3600X with a Spire cooler and when both use a Gammaxx 400 they are more or less identical. A smart choice in its own right but AMD's considerably cheaper Ryzen 5 3600 non-X does steal the limelight. We chose Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Far Cry 5 as the former is particularly GPU heavy at higher resolutions and the latter is a (relatively) computationally heavy, open-world game.

The aluminium frame provides a strong and sturdy base while the tough panelling is virtually unbreakable, resistant against discolouration, fracturing or shattering and block 100% of harmful UV rays. We run the built-in benchmark using a 2560×1440 resolution and the same settings as the 1080p test ( Ultra preset). g. Scotland and Wales) the timescale for these areas will be extended by up to 10 working days (this may be longer during peak times). An interesting observation is that the six-core, twelve-thread Ryzen 5 3600X’s performance is close to 75% of that of the eight-core, sixteen-thread Ryzen 7 3700X.

Average frame rates of around 110 FPS are certainly nothing worthy of complaint, and minimums close to 80 FPS aren’t too shabby either.Open and airy for the summer months, the Martinique Gazebo provides protection from the sun, and can transition into a winter gathering space easily. We will be outlining the Ryzen 3000 CPU's performance while using the MSI MEG X570 ACE socket AM4 X570 motherboard. In terms of average gaming performance, Intel’s Coffee Lake architecture remains a consistent thorn in AMD’s side.

Switching focus to Intel’s competitor, the non-Hyper-Threading Core i5 brings a straight six-core, six-thread offering to the party. That’s likely to prove advantageous for users in this market segment who are likely less concerned about power draw than prosumers looking for workstation-level CPUs. Aside from PCIe Gen 4 support for Zen 2, one of the most noteworthy differences between the Intel and AMD processors is the generous serving of L3 cache that AMD retains from its higher-end eight-core parts.In this test case, the average performance difference between the Coffee Lake i5 and Zen 2 Ryzen 5 is negligible. Although it is easy to view the Ryzen 5 3600X as half a Ryzen 9 3900X, it would be more accurate to perceive the processor as a cut down Ryzen 7 3700X/3800X. Drop the monitor refresh rate below 100 FPS or, more reasonably, add a higher resolution or a less powerful GPU into the mix and the gaming performance differences will start to erode.
