Det gør det til et fremragende valg til spil, og vi er også glædeligt overrasket over, hvor godt det viste sig at være for produktiviteten, selvom det kun har seks kerner, ikke otte eller flere, ligesom dets dyrere brødre. Hvis du er gamer, eller hvis du vil have en hurtig processor, til en moderat pris, er AMD Ryzen 5 3600X den processor, du bør købe.

Udpakning af AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X kommer i en ret stor æske til en processor, og det er fordi du også får en lagerkøler med. Æsken er ikke lavet af fancy pap, men den ser godt ud, ikke desto mindre. Dens navn og nogle af funktionerne og specifikationerne er trykt på alle sider med hvide og orange farver på en grå mønsterbaggrund. På en af ​​siderne af æsken kan du også se selve processoren, gennem en udskæring.

Inde i kassen finder du AMD Ryzen 5 3600X-processoren, en AMD Wraith Spire - køler, installationsvejledningen og et Ryzen 5- klistermærke til at sætte på din pc-case eller hvor som helst du vil.

At udpakke AMD Ryzen 5 3600X-processoren er en behagelig oplevelse, og det er dejligt at se, at du også får en lagerkøler med. Det betyder, at du straks kan montere processoren i din computer og begynde at bruge den.^{(Unboxing the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor is a pleasant experience, and it's great to see that you also get a stock cooler with it. That means that you can immediately mount the processor into your computer and start using it.)}

Hardware specifikationer

Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X-processoren tilhører den seneste serie af CPU'er^(CPUs) lavet af AMD . Kodenavnet Matisse^{(Codenamed Matisse)} er 3000-processorserien bygget på den mindste fremstillingsproces i desktopverdenen: 7 nanometer. Disse processorer, inklusive Ryzen 3600X , bruger en radikalt ny arkitektur, kaldet Zen 2 , som giver dem mulighed for at tilbyde mere hastighed og ydeevne end nogen tidligere Ryzen- processorer, og en, der nemt kan konkurrere med Intels^(Intel) processorer.

I Nordamerika^{(North America)} sælges AMD Ryzen 5 3600X til omkring 250 amerikanske dollars og tilbyder seks kerner og tolv behandlingstråde. Processoren er clocket til en frekvens på 3,8 GHz og kan gå op til 4,4 GHz i turbo-tilstand. Ved at se på disse essentielle specifikationer kan du sige, at denne processor er en strippet version af AMD Ryzen 7 3700X , med to kerner mindre og med et 200 MHz langsommere boost-ur. Heldigvis har AMD Ryzen 5 3600X den samme mængde Level 3 cache-hukommelse: 32 MB. En direkte konsekvens af den høje boost-frekvens er, at Ryzen 53600X burde være fantastisk til spil, som normalt kræver fremragende single-core ydeevne.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X har en standard TDP på ​​95 watt, og den kommer med en lagerkøler også lavet af AMD , kaldet Wraith Spire . Det er ikke en fancy køler med RGB - lys, som Wraith Prism , du får med AMD Ryzen 9 3900X eller 3700X , men den burde gøre et anstændigt stykke arbejde med at holde processoren fra overophedning. Men ud fra vores erfaring kan vi fortælle dig, at denne køler kan blive ret støjende. Hvis du vil have en lydløs pc, vil du måske investere i en anden køler.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X understøtter hurtig DDR4 RAM , der kører ved 3200 MHz i dual-channel mode. For at få det bedste pris pr. ydeevneforhold kan du dog overveje at bruge DDR4 DIMM'er^{(DDR4 DIMMs)} , der kører ved 3600 MHz .

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X bruger den samme AM4 - sokkel, og som en del af tredje generation af Ryzen- processorer tilbyder den også understøttelse af PCI Express 4 . Men i det mindste indtil videre kan du kun få PCI Express 4 på bundkort med X570- chipsættet ( Intel har ikke nogen processorer, der understøtter PCIe 4 ). Ulempen er, at X570- bundkortene er ret dyre i det øjeblik, man skriver denne anmeldelse. På den anden side, hvis du ikke ønsker eller har brug for PCI Expressversion 4 er den gode nyhed, at du også kan bruge 3600X på ældre bundkort med chipsæt som X470 eller X370, dog med PCI Express 3 .

Hardwarespecifikationerne for AMD Ryzen 5 3600X fortæller os, at dette er en kraftfuld desktop-processor, der skulle tilbyde fremragende ydeevne i spil såvel som i produktivitetsapplikationer.^{(The hardware specifications of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X tell us that this is a powerful desktop processor, that should offer excellent performance in games as well as in productivity applications.)}

Ydeevne i benchmarks og spil

Vi testede AMD Ryzen 5 3600X-processoren på en pc med følgende hardware og software:

• Bundkort: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero ( Wi-Fi )
• Hukommelse: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB-hukommelse^{(HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory)} (2 x 8 GB, 3600MHz)
• Grafikkort: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC
• Opbevaring: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• Skærm: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (32-tommer WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144Hz)
• Strømforsyningsenhed: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operativsystem: Windows 10 Pro x64 med opdatering fra maj 2019^{( May 2019 Update)}

For at få en bedre idé om ydeevnen, der tilbydes af AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, sammenlignede vi dens benchmark-resultater med dens større brødre, Ryzen 9 3900X og Ryzen 7 3700X, og også med den ældre AMD Ryzen 7 2700-processor.

Vi startede med at køre Cinebench R20 benchmark, som evaluerer processorydelsen ved gengivelse. I multi-thread-testen, som bruger alle processorkernerne, opnåede AMD Ryzen 5 3600X en score på 3521 point, hvilket er imponerende for en 6-core CPU . Selvom den er 27 % langsommere end Ryzen 7 3700X og næsten 50 % langsommere end Ryzen 9 3900X, er det normalt at se det, da denne test bruger alle processorkernerne. 3600X har kun seks kerner, mens 3700X har 8 og 3900X har ikke færre end 12 kerner. På den anden side var 3600X seks procent bedre end den ældre Ryzen 7 2700, som har otte kerner (2 kerner mere end 3600X).

Derefter brugte vi CPU-Z og målte en Single Thread - score på 502 point. Det er en fantastisk single-core ydeevne, og det betyder, at det er en fantastisk processor, hvis du er interesseret i spil. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X er kun 3 % langsommere end Ryzen 7 3700X og seks procent langsommere end den dyriske Ryzen 9 3900X. Dens ydeevne svarer også til, hvad du ville få fra en Intel Core i5-9600K, som også har seks kerner.

I CPU-Z 's Multi-Thread test fik vi en score på 4018. Da den har færre kerner end sine storebrødre, matcher Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X dem ikke. Ryzen 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X med sine 12 kerner er dobbelt så hurtig, men den har også dobbelt så mange kerner. Ryzen 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X er 28% hurtigere, men den har også to kerner mere og et 200MHz hurtigere boost-ur. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X er 39 % hurtigere end Intel Core i5-9600K, som kun får en score på 2846.

Blender Benchmark gengiver to forskellige scener, kaldet bmw27 og klasseværelset, og måler tidspunktet for færdiggørelsen. Denne evaluering betyder, at den hurtigere processor har brug for mindre tid, så lavere resultater er bedre. Igen^(Again) , på grund af dets færre kerner, havde AMD Ryzen 5 3600X brug for 22,17 minutter for at afslutte opgaverne. Den var 32 % langsommere end 3700X og næsten to gange langsommere end 3900X. Den var dog næsten lige så hurtig som Ryzen 7 2700-processoren, der, selvom den var en del af den tidligere Ryzen- generation, har otte kerner.

Vi brugte også PCMark 10 benchmark til at måle processorens ydeevne i daglige aktiviteter. Med det mener vi webbrowsing, videokonferencer, opstartstider for apps, produktivitet og oprettelse af digitalt indhold. Denne gang scorede Ryzen 5 3600X meget tættere på Ryzen 9 3900X eller Ryzen 7 3700X.

7-Zip er filkomprimeringssoftware, som vi bruger til at få en idé om, hvor hurtige processorerne er. Filkomprimerings- og dekomprimeringshastighederne er fremragende indikatorer for CPU- ydeevnen. Ved at bruge AMD Ryzen 5 3600X målte vi en kompressionshastighed på 40 MB/s , som er den samme som den, AMD Ryzen 7 2700 nåede.

Dekompressionshastigheden i 7-Zip var 760 MB/s , igen svarende til Ryzen 7 2700. Både kompressions- og dekompressionshastighederne er lavere end dem, vi opnåede med 3700X eller 3900X, som begge har flere kerner.

Hvad ville verden være uden internettet, og hvem ønsker ikke at kunne surfe med maksimal hastighed? For at måle ydeevnen af ​​Ryzen 5 3600X, når vi surfer på nettet, henvendte vi os til JetStream 2 , som bruger JavaScript og WebAssembly . Jo højere score du får, jo bedre processor ejer du. Efter at have kørt det et par gange, var vi overrasket over at se, at Ryzen 5 3600X havde en gennemsnitlig score, der er bedre end dem, vi målte for Ryzen 7 3700X og Ryzen 9 3900X. Det er imponerende, og det er intet andet end gode nyheder for alle, der surfer på nettet på en pc med denne processor.

For mange brugere er spilydelse et af de væsentlige aspekter af enhver processor. Derfor har vi også tjekket, hvad AMD Ryzen 5 3600X kunne gøre for gamere. Vi forsøgte at undgå eventuelle videoflaskehalse, så vi kørte kun spillene i 1920 x 1080 pixels opløsning og med den laveste grafikkvalitet.

Benchmark fra Shadow of the Tomb Raider fortalte os, at Ryzen 5 3600X kunne gengive 255 billeder i sekundet. Det er meget mere end Ryzen 7 2700, og utroligt nok er det endnu mere end Ryzen 7 3700X og Ryzen 9 3900X, dog med en lille margen.

I Metro Exodus , et af de mest krævende spil lige nu, både hvad angår video og CPU - ydelse, målte vi en gennemsnitlig billedhastighed på 114. Den er kun 3 til 4 % langsommere end Ryzen 7 3700X og Ryzen 9 3900X. Endnu en gang er vi forbløffet over den ydeevne, som Ryzen 5 3600X-processoren tilbyder i spil!

I World War Z , ved at bruge Ryzen 5 3600X, havde vi 209 billeder i sekundet ( FPS ). Det er et fantastisk resultat, selvom det er moderat langsommere end sine større brødre (3700X og 3900X). Det forventede vi, da dette er et spil, der er optimeret til multi-core processorer. Derfor, jo flere kerner, jo bedre. 🙂

For at teste temperaturerne nået af AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, kørte vi Prime95 for at understrege det, og vi overvågede det med HWiNFO . Som sædvanlig valgte vi ikke at bruge en brugerdefineret køler, men den standard, der fulgte med processoren. AMD Ryzen 5 3600X kommer med en køler kaldet Wraith Spire . Desværre nåede den 3600X CPU , som vi havde, høje temperaturer, og blev så varm som 95 grader Celsius (203 grader Fahrenheit ). Det er for meget efter vores mening, og selvom det kan være, at vores prøve havde et produktionsproblem, må vi antage, at det ikke gjorde det. For sikkerhed og den bedste ydeevne, du kan få fra Ryzen 53600X, anbefaler vi, at du køber en bedre køler end standard Wraith Prism .

Vi brugte HWiNFO igen, men denne gang til at måle strømforbruget på AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. Det maksimale, vi har set, var på kun 73 watt, hvilket er mindre end dets annoncerede TDP . Men da CPU'en^(CPU) trak denne strøm, nåede den også den bekymrende temperatur på 95 grader Celsius , hvilket kan betyde, at den droslede.

Ydeevnen, som vi har set på AMD Ryzen 5 3600X under testene og benchmarks, er i topklasse og viser, at dens skæbne er at være den bedste mainstream-processor til både spil og produktivitet. Medmindre du har pengene til den mere premium Ryzen 7 3700X eller Ryzen 9 3900X, er AMD Ryzen 5 3600X et godt køb.^{(The performance that we have witnessed at AMD Ryzen 5 3600X during the tests and benchmarks is top-notch and demonstrates that its destiny is to be the best mainstream processor for both gaming and productivity. Unless you have the money for the more premium Ryzen 7 3700X or Ryzen 9 3900X, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is a great buy.)}

Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is one of the best mid-range desktop processors on the market. We are thrilled by its single-core performance. It makes it an excellent choice for gaming, and we are also pleasantly surprised by how good it proved to be for productivity, although it has only six cores, not eight or more, like its more expensive brothers. If you are a gamer or if you want a fast processor, at a moderate price, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is the processor that you should buy.

Unboxing the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X comes in a rather large box for a processor, and that is because you also get a stock cooler with it. The box is not made of fancy cardboard, but it looks good, nonetheless. Its name and some of the features and specifications are printed on all sides, using white and orange colors on a gray pattern background. On one of the sides of the box, you can also see the actual processor, through a cutout.

Inside the box, you find the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor, an AMD Wraith Spire cooler, the installation instructions, and a Ryzen 5 sticker to put on your PC case or anywhere you like.

Unboxing the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor is a pleasant experience, and it's great to see that you also get a stock cooler with it. That means that you can immediately mount the processor into your computer and start using it.

Hardware specifications

The Ryzen 5 3600X processor belongs to the latest lineup of CPUs made by AMD. Codenamed Matisse, the 3000 processors series is built on the smallest manufacturing process in the desktop world: 7 nanometers. These processors, including the Ryzen 3600X, use a radically new architecture, called Zen 2, which allows them to offer more speed and performance than any previous Ryzen processors, and one that can easily compete with Intel's processors.

In North America, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is sold at about 250 US dollars and offers six cores and twelve processing threads. The processor is clocked at a 3.8 GHz frequency and can go up to 4.4 GHz in turbo mode. By looking at these essential specs, you might say that this processor is a stripped-down version of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, with two cores less and with a 200 MHz slower boost clock. Fortunately, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X has the same amount of Level 3 cache memory: 32 MB. A direct consequence of the high boost frequency is that the Ryzen 5 3600X should be great for games, which usually require excellent single-core performance.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X has a default TDP of 95 watts, and it comes with a stock cooler also made by AMD, called Wraith Spire. It is not a fancy cooler with RGB lights, like the Wraith Prism you get with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X or 3700X, but it should do a decent job at keeping the processor from overheating. However, from our experience, we can tell you that this cooler can become quite noisy. If you want a silent PC, you might want to invest in another cooler.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X supports fast DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz in dual-channel mode. However, for the best price per performance ratio, you might want to consider using DDR4 DIMMs running at 3600 MHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X uses the same AM4 socket and, being a part of the third generation of Ryzen processors, it also offers support for PCI Express 4. However, at least for now, you can get PCI Express 4 only on motherboards with the X570 chipset (Intel does not have any processors that support PCIe 4). The downside is that the X570 mainboards are quite expensive at the moment of writing this review. On the other hand, if you do not want or need PCI Express version 4, the good news is that you can also use the 3600X on older motherboards with chipsets such as X470 or X370, albeit with PCI Express 3.

The hardware specifications of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X tell us that this is a powerful desktop processor, that should offer excellent performance in games as well as in productivity applications.

Performance in benchmarks and games

We tested the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor on a PC with the following hardware and software:

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory (2 x 8GB, 3600MHz)
• Graphics Card: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC
• Storage: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (32-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144Hz)
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with May 2019 Update

To get a better idea about the performance offered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, we compared its benchmarks results with its bigger brothers, the Ryzen 9 3900X and the Ryzen 7 3700X, and also with the older AMD Ryzen 7 2700 processor.

We started with running the Cinebench R20 benchmark, which evaluates the processor performance at rendering. In the multi-thread test which uses all the processor cores, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X obtained a score of 3521 points, which is impressive for a 6-core CPU. Although it's 27% slower than the Ryzen 7 3700X, and almost 50% slower than the Ryzen 9 3900X, it is normal to see that, as this test uses all the processor cores. The 3600X only has six cores, while the 3700X has 8 and the 3900X has no fewer than 12 cores. On the other hand, the 3600X was six percent better than the older Ryzen 7 2700, which has eight cores (2 cores more than the 3600X).

Then, we used CPU-Z and measured a Single Thread score of 502 points. It is a fantastic single-core performance, and that means that it's a great processor if you are interested in gaming. The Ryzen 5 3600X is only 3% slower than the Ryzen 7 3700X and six percent slower than the beastly Ryzen 9 3900X. Its performance is also similar to what you would get from an Intel Core i5-9600K, which also has six cores.

In CPU-Z's Multi-Thread test, we got a score of 4018. As it has fewer cores than its big brothers, the Ryzen 5 3600X does not match them. The Ryzen 9 3900X with its 12 cores is twice as fast, but it also has twice the cores. The Ryzen 7 3700X is 28% faster, but it also has two more cores, and a 200MHz faster boost clock. The Ryzen 5 3600X is 39% faster than the Intel Core i5-9600K, which only gets a score of 2846.

Blender Benchmark renders two different scenes, called bmw27 and classroom, and measures the time of completion. This evaluation means that the faster processor needs less time, so lower results are better. Again, due to its fewer cores, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X needed 22.17 minutes to finish the tasks. It was 32% slower than the 3700X, and almost twice slower than the 3900X. However, it was almost as fast as the Ryzen 7 2700 processor which, although part of the previous Ryzen generation, has eight cores.

We also used the PCMark 10 benchmark to measure the performance of the processor in daily activities. By that, we mean web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. This time, the Ryzen 5 3600X scored much closer to the Ryzen 9 3900X or the Ryzen 7 3700X.

7-Zip is file compression software that we use for getting an idea of how fast the processors are. The file compression and decompression speeds are excellent indicators for the CPU performance. Using the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, we measured a compression speed of 40 MB/s, which is the same as the one reached by the AMD Ryzen 7 2700.

The decompression speed in 7-Zip was 760 MB/s, once again similar to that of the Ryzen 7 2700. Both the compression and decompression speeds are lower than the ones we obtained with the 3700X or the 3900X, which both have more cores.

What would the world be without the internet and who does not want to be able to surf at maximum speed? To measure the performance of the Ryzen 5 3600X when browsing the web, we turned to JetStream 2, which uses JavaScript and WebAssembly. The higher score you get, the better the processor you own. After running it for a couple of times, we were surprised to see that the Ryzen 5 3600X had an average score that is better than the ones we measured for the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 9 3900X. That's impressive, and it is nothing but good news for everyone surfing the web on a PC with this processor.

For many users, gaming performance is one of the essential aspects of any processor. That's why we also checked what the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X could do for gamers. We tried to avoid any possible video bottlenecks, so we only ran the games in 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and with the lowest graphics quality set.

The benchmark from Shadow of the Tomb Raider told us that the Ryzen 5 3600X could render 255 frames per second. That is a lot more than the Ryzen 7 2700, and, amazingly, it is even more than the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 9 3900X, although by a small margin.

In Metro Exodus, one of the most demanding games right now, both in terms of video and CPU performance, we measured an average frame rate of 114. It is only 3 to 4% slower than the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 9 3900X. Once more, we are amazed by the performance offered in games by the Ryzen 5 3600X processor!

In World War Z, using the Ryzen 5 3600X, we had 209 frames per second (FPS). It is a great result, although it is moderately slower than its bigger brothers (3700X and 3900X). We expected that, as this is a game that has been optimized for multi-core processors. Therefore, the more cores, the merrier. 🙂

To test the temperatures reached by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, we ran Prime95 to stress it, and we monitored it with HWiNFO. As usual, we did not choose to use a custom cooler, but the stock one bundled with the processor. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X comes with a cooler called Wraith Spire. Unfortunately, the 3600X CPU that we had reached high temperatures, getting as hot as 95 degrees Celsius (203 degrees Fahrenheit). That is too much in our opinion, and, although it may be that our sample had a manufacturing issue, we have to assume that it did not. For safety and the best performance you can get from the Ryzen 5 3600X, we recommend that you buy a better cooler than the stock Wraith Prism.

We used HWiNFO again, but this time to measure the power consumption of the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. The maximum we've witnessed was of only 73 watts, which is less than its advertised TDP. However, when the CPU drew this power, it also reached the worrying temperature of 95 degrees Celsius, which might mean that it was throttling.
