This made it 4% faster than the 8700K, almost 20% faster than the 2600X and 28% faster than the model it’s replacing, the R5 2600.For the cost per frame data we’re adding the cost of a cooler to Intel systems. © PC Magazin / Weka Media Publishing GmbHAls klein qualifiziert den Ryzen 5 3600 lediglich die Anzahl seiner Prozessorkerne. The 12nm I/O chip is produced by ex-AMD fab GlobalFoundries and houses a medley of non-core silicon including the Unified Memory Controller and I/O Hub Controller. He is currently on an unremitting quest to create the world’s ugliest gaming PC and is often found tinkering on the testbench in a vain attempt to resurrect another failed RGB experiment gone awry.We see the disparity increase slightly between the Ryzen 5 3600 and the Ryzen 5 3600X in synthetic benchmarks, however. The Ryzen 5 3600 looks like a shoo-in for the top gaming chip accoladeThe Ryzen 5 3600 is packaged with the Wraith Stealth in lieu of the larger unit, a slim stock cooler capable of keeping your chip cool. Moreover, the R5 3600 was fast enough to find the limits of the RTX 2080 Ti at 1440p, though this was true of almost all CPUs tested.Here we see the PBO + AutoOC improved the single core score by 1.6%, so I suspect most won’t bother with overclocking as it’s not really worth the added heat.
Speaking of which, let’s check out the thermal performance of the included Wraith Stealth box cooler.Moving on to WinRAR, the R5 3600 looks very good, falling just short of the 8700K by a mere 4% margin. It did fall behind the 8-core Ryzen processors in the decompression test, but even so it was still 16% faster than the 8700K.We’ll start off with Cinebench R20’s multi-core test and right away we’re blown away by the R5 3600’s output. In 2 years AMD has increased performance at the $200 price point by almost 50%.Even at 1440p, despite the 9600K appearing quicker when looking at the average frame rate, the 1% low performance of the 3600 was 18% higher and this allowed it to deliver a smoother and more consistent gaming experience.The single core performance is equally impressive, here the 3600 was just 4% slower than the 3700X and that meant it was able to match the Core i5-9600K and just edge out the 8700K.The Battlefield V results are a little disappointing, though I have to remind myself, the 3600 isn’t competing with the 8700K. Für die Ryzen-3000-CPUs braucht es auch nicht zwangsläufig ein neues Mainboard. Sie werden als erste Ryzen-Generation in sieben Nanometer Strukturbreite gefertigt und unterstützen durch die überarbeitete Zen-2-Architektur Features wie PCI Express 4.0 sowie mehr und höher getakteten Arbeitsspeicher (bis zu 128 GB DDR4-3200). © WEKA Media Publishing GmbH Even an entry-level air cooler will often be more than enough for this particular chip.Offering ostensibly the same gaming performance as its pricier peer, it’s evident that the gaming champion of Ryzen 3000 is the cheaper of the two: the Ryzen 5 3600. Ryzen 5 3600 (PBO manual: PPT 105W, TDC 105A, EDC 1A, PBO Scalar auto) Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro: Cooling: Corsair H110i 280mm (Liquid metal for TIM) Memory: CorsairVengeanceLPX DDR4 2x8GB 3466MHz CL16-18-18-36 1T, cheap B-die, @3666 CL16-17-17-34 1T (1:1:1) Video Card(s) MSI RX 5700XT Gaming X: Storage So this one's pretty cut and dry unless Intel decides to cut pricing heavily.With a decent cooler installed, temperatures dropped quite significantly. Also outrunning the Ryzen 7 2700X and 2600X, this chip’s domineering performance transcends CPU generations and nomenclature – a sign of Zen 2’s IPC increase at work.The most pronounced improvement across Ryzen generations is in the electrical department, however. That’s only a little shy of enough extra compute brain power to close the gap between AMD and its age-old rival, Intel, in gaming workloads, and rendering the performance delta between the two companies’ finest ostensibly negligible.On specs and performance, the Ryzen 5 3600 is without a doubt a prime slab of silicon ripe for gamers’ rigs.
