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

Product Information

The difference here, however, is that I’d feel less confident about using the six-thread Coffee Lake Core i5 in my own gaming system than I would the eight-thread Core i7-9700K or the sixteen-thread 9900K. A smart choice in its own right but AMD's considerably cheaper Ryzen 5 3600 non-X does steal the limelight. That point is likely to be more pronounced in future games, as we have seen with the quad-core Core i5 CPUs from the Kaby Lake era. This time, the Ryzen 5 3600X performance lead versus the Coffee Lake Core i5 is 48% with both chips overclocked.

This is important for game streamers or users who have CPU-requiring tasks running in the background. For the first Ryzen processors, focused on the prosumer/gaming market, this feature is enabled and working but not validated by AMD.

Multi-threaded rendering is an area where more cores and threads should deliver higher performance, even if frequency is lower. We run the built-in benchmark using the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset. Just like the other Zen 2 processors, Ryzen 5 3600X features a segregated IO die that most notably contains the memory controller and is fabbed on older (cheaper), arguably more mature 12nm process technology. In the real world, this likely translates into less CPU cooler noise as the fans could deal with the Core i5 even when running at lower speeds.

Ghost Recon Wildlands places significant load on the GPU with its Ultra preset and therefore keeps all processors below 100 FPS on average. Partnered with a reasonable graphics card and a 60Hz monitor, we think the Ryzen 5 3600X is an excellent chip for gamers. Architectural improvements for Zen 2 give the Ryzen 5 3600X strong single-threaded performance in Cinebench R15. Make sure your motherboard is bios flashed to save you the pain of my story and building a pc that didn't work out of the box.

These include integrated rails and hooks that can be used to hang curtains on the side (not included) and the easy construction system which can be completed by two people. The product provides basic fire performance due to the behaviour of Gypsum core which is non-combustible when exposed to fire and high temperatures.
