About this deal

We see the same in Battlefield V, the 3600X was only up to 2 fps faster than the non-X model, so about the same performance.

Ancora oggi non ho avuto nessun problema, il Ryzen 5 3600 gira che è una bellezza e gioco con titoli come Horizon Zero : Dawn in 4k e tutto a ultra senza il benché minimo rallentamento. When talking about direct competition, the Intel Core i5 10400 is a good match for the AMD Ryzen 5 3600. The Intel chip is similarly a six-core and 12-thread processor, and with a max turbo frequency up to 4.3GHz, it's able to offer gaming performance more-or-less in line with the AMD chip. This chips base frequency of 2.9GHz does see it slip behind the Ryzen 5 3600 at times, however, so we're still team AMD on this one. Pensate sempre almeno di cambiare la pasta termica con una più prestante come la Artic 5 e di mettere un dissipatore migliore, nel caso in cui vogliate spingere le frequenze. As you'd probably expect, the margins with the Radeon 6600 XT are greatly reduced, but even so at 1080p the 5800X3D was on average up to 24% faster, but then just 13% faster at 1440p.

In general performance, the Ryzen 5 3600 shows that it’s a more modest processor than other Ryzen 3000-series chips, but it still has some gusto that can compete in some ways with even the Intel Core i7-8700K. We find similar results at 1440p, though here the 3600 matches the 1% low performance of the 9600K. 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. For testing we'll be covering 23 games runnings at 1080p and 1440p resolutions using both a Radeon RX 6950 XT and Radeon 6600 XT with SAM enabled. As we've come to expect from Ryzen, the performance in Far Cry New Dawn was not great relative to the competing Intel CPUs, overall gameplay was still smooth nonetheless. Even at 1440p the R5 3600 is still well down on the 9600K, particularly when looking at the 1% lows.

We've already looked at the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in detail, from our day-one review to numerous comparisons with other high-end AMD and Intel processors, but still missing from all of that has been older Ryzen 5 parts, parts that many of you are still using. Then with PBO+AutoOC enabled, the 3600 hit 84 degrees but only ran 25 MHz faster, while the 3600X also hit 84 degrees but ran 50 MHz faster for a 3% increase over the 3600. When testing with Hitman 2 we see that the R5 3600 was 7% slower than the i5-9600K when looking at the average frame rate, this isn't a great title for Ryzen CPUs. Similar to what we saw in the R9 3900X and 3700X review, the 3rd-gen Ryzen processors slip a little in this title at 1440p and this is also true of the R5 3600. Here it's 6% slower than the 8700K, not a massive margin but normally you'd expect things to close up at 1440p. The Ryzen 5 3600 comes with a healthy 32MB of total L3 cache, a neat doubling of capacity over its predecessor and more than three times the cache of the -9500 and -9400F. That does come with a few caveats, however, as cache performance and efficiency has a big impact on how much cache capacity benefits the processor in typical applications. As usual, our benchmarks will tell the tale.Assuming you have a capable GPU, and if you are targeting very high FPS gaming at lower quality settings, perhaps for competitive shooters, then Ryzen 5 3600 owners stand to gain a lot of extra performance by upgrading to the 5800X3D. But that's like the perfect scenario for that upgrade. Our first gaming test is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey where the R5 3600 slightly edges out the 8700K's 1% low result despite being a few frames slower on average. Still you can very much call what we see here, 8700K-like performance from the new Ryzen 5 3600.

With the Radeon 6600 XT, the 5800X3D still enabled up to 73% greater performance and even 42% stronger performance at 1440p.

Poi ho abbinato un kit di memoria Ballistic da 16 GB in dual channel a 3600 Mhz, un buon SSD M.2 e una scheda video AMD RX590 (non sono un gamer accanito); Case, alimentatore e accessori, essendo ancora attuali, li ho riciclati dal vecchio PC. AMD's new 6-core CPU trailed the 8700K by a small margin in the Corona benchmark, but given the difference in price this remains a solid showing for the R5 3600. You can enable PBO with the box cooler, but it won't do much as you're already near the thermal limit. Basically we gained 25 MHz for a 4 degree increase in temperature... needless to be said, we don't recommend using PBO with the box cooler. We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores. Next up we have Shadow of the Tomb Raider and here the 3600 matched the 9600K, which is a good result given the 9600K costs more. The 1440p results were much the same, the 9600K creeped ahead by a few frames but overall performance was competitive and the 1% low performance of the 3600 was a good bit faster than any of the 2nd gen Ryzen parts.
