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

Product Information

This wonderful outdoor living space is designed to be enjoyed year-round; allowing you to spend more time relaxing, reading a good book, enjoying your spa, entertaining or simply enjoying your garden. The new CPU's are backwards compatible with older motherboards thanks to the same AM4 slot socket however with the newly released chipset of X570 motherboards you can maximize the power the Ryzen CPUs have to offer.

Ryzen 7 3700X steals the show here, proving that a greater number of threads, even with reduced operating frequency, are an ideal match for multi-core rendering tasks. 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.The DX11-built game engine is capable of providing heavy stress to a number of system components, including the GPU, CPU, and Memory. Weaknesses in memory architecture are not readily picked up by CPU benchmarks but they are apparent whilst gaming. However, the Coffee Lake Core i5 CPU is a little faster on average in this title, thanks in large to the frequency advantage and the tendency for older games to perform well on Intel’s mature Skylake-based microarchitecture. With that said, an obscenely high ambient temperature on the UK's hottest day of the year certainly didn’t help.

Hello team Red Having had intel CPU in my builds for the past 6 years with no issues my gigabyte board gave up the ghost (which scan have had no issue in sending for RMA) I decided that rather than i5 i would try a Ryzen 5 chip, so far i have overclocked it using the auto oc tool from AMD to 4. Referring to CPU utilisation, this benchmark run actually saw the overclocked Core i5 push CPU utilisation close to 100% on times. six-thread Core i5 operated at 80-95% usage in the benchmark run, with all six threads taking a well-balanced amount of loading. This places its power usage around the same level as that of the eight-core, sixteen-thread Ryzen 7 3700X due to the Ryzen 5 chip’s higher operating frequency (and perhaps lower quality CCD). Relax in style, play host to family gatherings and enjoy the fresh air and garden view with this versatile and contemporary design.

Even with game-related background task thrown into the mix, that’s probably not a big enough difference to swing your decision one way or another. AMD’s twelve-thread CPU puts forth more than 100 FPS on average, which is difficult to be unimpressed by. With both CPUs offering around 120 FPS and higher, on average, there’s little to complain at AMD about.
