The Battlefield V results are a little disappointing, though I have to remind myself, the 3600 isn't competing with the 8700K. Its main target should be the 9600K and here it improves 1% low performance by 23%.

The 3700X does offer a small performance boost over the 3600X in Shadow of the Tomb Raider but the 3600X was only up to 3% faster than the 3600. So it's pretty clear by this point that in terms of performance the 3600 and 3600X are basically the same. 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. 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. Later on we plan to test 3rd-gen Ryzen with some B350 motherboards to see just how well these new processors work on entry-level boards. Shopping Shortcuts: Of course, if you don't have the GPU to unleash the 5800X3D, or you're not interested in using low quality settings, the gains are going to be a lot smaller and we see that with the 6600 XT. That said, heavily CPU bound titles such as ACC or CS:GO will greatly benefit from the upgrade to the 5800X3D regardless. What We LearnedAs 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. Normally we'd recommend the Ryzen 5 5600 as a smart Zen 3 upgrade, but as we've found for 3600 owners, it's not a huge step forward and in many instances the performance uplift is going to be fairly negligible. After all, it was only 17% faster on average at 1080p using a Radeon RX 6950 XT whereas the 5800X3D was 46% faster. Even with the Radeon 6600 XT installed, we're looking at gains between 90% and 100% at 1080p and even up to 60% at 1440p. The mainstream 3600 CPU managed to pull ahead on the Blender test, matching the 8700K and easily winning against the previous generation Ryzen equivalents and the 9600K that is relegated to the bottom of the table. Even with the 6600 XT we're still seeing up to a 47% boost at 1080p, and then just a 9% bump at the much more GPU limited 1440p configuration.

Even at 1440p, the 5800X3D was 65% faster, though the margin did shrink to 23% with the 6600 XT at 1080p. 23 Game Average Dying Light 2 is a single player title that relies heavily on GPU performance and therefore doesn't lean on the CPU all that much. In extreme conditions, the 5800X3D was able to improve 1% lows, but really the Ryzen 5 3600 is more than sufficient for this sort of title. So depending on the games you're playing the upgrade won't always be significant, or an upgrade at all. Ho acquistato 2 anni e mezzo fa questo processore per allestire il mio bel pc da gaming; non avevo un budget eccessivo e i prezzi erano ancora un po' alti per via del periodo, ma questo è stato forse il mio miglior acquisto. Another nice piece of its performance is efficiency. Thanks to the shift to the 7nm process, the Ryzen 5 3600 manages a substantially lower level of power draw under load than the Intel Core i7-8086K and Core i7-8700K, which hit 110.68W and 100.63W, respectively. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 5 3600 pulled just 86.17W from the wall in our testing.

More For Less

Starting with CS:GO, we find that the 1% lows of the 5800X3D are improved by 81% from the 3600, while the average frame rate was boosted by 55% from 245 fps up to 380 fps. We've heard that more serious Counter-Strike players like to target over 300 fps, so if that happens to be you, then the 5800X3D will be a worthwhile upgrade. Moving on to WinRAR, the R5 3600 looks very good, falling just short of the 8700K by a mere 4% margin. That made it 45% faster than the Core i7-7700K and Ryzen 7 2700X.

Infine, va sottolineato che il Ryzen 5 3600 è anche un processore efficiente dal punto di vista energetico, grazie alla sua architettura a 7 nm. Ciò significa che puoi ottenere alte prestazioni senza dover affrontare un consumo energetico eccessivo o un surriscaldamento del sistema.

But without question the most popular question we received afterwards was: should you buy the Ryzen 5 3600 or the 3600X?

The Cinebench R20 multi-core shows a very mild 2% increase in performance for the 3600X over the vanilla 3600. Very underwhelming difference – but could this be a good thing? – that doesn't justify the 25% price increase. But as we alluded to a moment ago, even for those building a new PC from the ground up, the R5 3600 looks like the best option. It smoked the Core i5-9600K in every single application benchmark we ran and worst case matches its single core performance. You get 12 threads opposed to just 6, so it's no doubt going to age better, but this time you don't have to roll the dice on Ryzen's longevity, as it's already faster today.Then there's the upgrade itself. We know most of you will want to upgrade your graphics card when you can get a 40 - 50% uplift at a similar price, but achieving that kind of improvement for gaming from a CPU is almost unheard of. 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. We'll start off with Cinebench R20's multi-core test and right away we're blown away by the R5 3600's output. Here it matched the Ryzen 7 1800X with just over 3600 pts. 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.
