Raspakiravanje AMD Ryzen 5 3600

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 procesor dolazi u manjoj kutiji u usporedbi s procesorima ostalih Ryzen 3000 procesora^(CPUs) . Ima pravokutni oblik, a iako je izrađen od običnog kartona, dizajn izgleda dobro: nijanse narančaste preko sivih uzoraka.

S jedne strane kutije nalazi se izrez kroz koji se vidi Ryzen 5 3600 procesor koji ste upravo kupili.

Kada otvorite kutiju, pronaći ćete procesor AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600, kao i AMD Wraith Stealth hladnjak, tiskani priručnik za instalaciju i naljepnicu za Ryzen 5 .

Iskustvo raspakiranja koje nudi procesor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ugodno je i jednostavno. Cijenimo što je AMD također isporučio hladnjak, a sigurni smo da to čine i mnogi korisnici. To znači da, teoretski, ne morate trošiti dodatni novac na poseban hladnjak.^{(The unboxing experience offered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor is pleasant and straightforward. We appreciate that AMD also bundled a cooler, and we're sure that many users do too. That means that, theoretically, you do not have to spend additional money on a separate cooler.)}

Specifikacije hardvera

Baš kao i svi Ryzen 3000 procesori koje je AMD objavio 2019., Ryzen 5 3600 CPU je izgrađen na AMD -ovoj novoj arhitekturi zvanoj Zen 2 , na 7-nanometarskom proizvodnom procesu. Zen 2 dolazi s velikim poboljšanjima u brzini i učinkovitosti u usporedbi s prethodnim generacijama AMD procesora, ali i u usporedbi s ^(AMD)Intelovim^(Intel) procesorima slične cijene .

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 prodaje se za nešto manje od 200 USD u Sjedinjenim ^(United) Američkim Državama^(States) , a za ovu cijenu nudi obilje performansi: šest jezgri i dvanaest niti, radni takt na osnovnoj frekvenciji od 3,6 GHz i s maksimalnom frekvencijom pojačanja^{(boost frequency)} od 4,2 GHz . To je u biti nešto manja verzija procesora AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600X, s istim brojem jezgri i niti, ali 200 MHz sporijim osnovnim taktom i boost taktom. Međutim, količina cache memorije razine 3^{(Level 3)} ista je kao ona na 3600X, kao i na osmojezgrenom Ryzenu 7 3700X^{(Ryzen 7 3700X)}. Razlika u cijeni između Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X i Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600 je oko 50 USD , što je značajno, pa bi mnogi ljudi možda radije kupili 3600 i pokušali ga sami overclockati kako bi postigli iste brzine kao 3600X.

AMD -ov Ryzen 5 3600 procesor ima zadani TDP od 65 W^(Watts) i službeno može doseći maksimalnu temperaturu od 95 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) . Wraith Stealth hladnjak u paketu trebao bi biti dovoljan da rasprši toplinu ovog CPU-a^(CPU) u normalnim uvjetima. Međutim, tijekom testiranja otkrili smo da se procesor dosta zagrijava, pogotovo u stresnim situacijama poput igranja zahtjevnih igrica ili pokretanja benchmarka.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 dizajniran je za rad s dvokanalnim DDR4 RAM-om^{(DDR4 RAM)} na zadanoj frekvenciji od 3200 MHz . Međutim, ako si možete priuštiti da potrošite novac na njega, procesor najbolje radi s 3600 MHz DDR4 RAM-om^{(MHz DDR4 RAM)} . Procesor koristi isti AM4 Socket kao i stariji AMD Ryzen procesori, a to znači da ga možete koristiti ne samo s novim X570 matičnim pločama, već i s matičnim pločama baziranim na starijim čipsetima kao što su X470 ili X370. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600 također ima podršku za PCI Express 4 , ali samo ako ga montirate na X570 matičnu ploču; na starijim čipsetima ograničen je naPCI Express 3 .

Nakon što pogledamo službene hardverske specifikacije procesora AMD Ryzen 5 3600, znamo da bi njegovih šest jezgri, dvanaest niti i iznadprosječni osnovni i taktovi za pojačavanje trebali biti dovoljni za pokretanje bilo kojeg softvera ili igre. Uzimajući u obzir njegovu odličnu cijenu, nizak TDP, kao i podršku za PCI Express 4, čini se da je Ryzen 5 3600 nevjerojatno moćan konkurent Intelovoj liniji procesora srednjeg ranga.^{(After looking at the official hardware specs of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, we know that its six cores, twelve threads, and above-average base and boost clocks should be enough to run any software or game. Considering its great price, low TDP, as well as its support for PCI Express 4, the Ryzen 5 3600 appears to be an incredibly powerful competitor to Intel's mid-range processor lineup.)}

Performanse u mjerilima i igrama

Testirali smo procesor AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600 na osobnom računalu sa sljedećim hardverom i softverom:

• Matična ploča: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero ( Wi-Fi )
• Memorija: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB memorija^{(HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory)} (2 x 8 GB, 3600 MHz)
• Grafička kartica: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC
• Pohrana: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ zakrivljeni gaming monitor (32-inčni WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144Hz)
• Napajanje: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operativni sustav: Windows 10 Pro x64 s ažuriranjem u svibnju 2019^{( May 2019 Update)}

Kako bismo dobili jasniji dojam o performansama koje nudi AMD Ryzen 5 3600, usporedili smo njegove rezultate u mjerilima s onima Ryzen 5 3600X , Ryzen 7 3700X , Ryzen 9 3900X , kao i sa starijim procesorom AMD Ryzen 7^{(AMD Ryzen 7)} 2700.

Počeli smo s pokretanjem benchmarka koji nudi CPU-Z . U Single Thread testu, koji mjeri performanse jedne jezgre, Ryzen 5 3600 je postigao 470 bodova, što znači da je samo 6% sporiji od Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X. Ovaj rezultat nam govori da bi se ovaj procesor trebao dobro ponašati u igrama: sjajne vijesti za igrače koji nemaju proračun za vrhunske procesore!

U CPU-Z- ovom Multi Thread testu, koji mjeri višejezgrenu izvedbu procesora, Ryzen 5 3600 dobio je ocjenu 3658. Oko 9 posto je sporiji od Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X, koji, iako ima isto broj jezgri i niti, ima 200 MHz brži osnovni i boost takt. Ipak, to je izvrstan rezultat.

Zatim smo prešli na mjerila za renderiranje i počeli s Cinebench R20 . AMD -ov Ryzen 5 3600 procesor dobio je 3221 bod, 300 bodova ili 8,5% manje od Ryzena 3600X^{(Ryzen 3600X)} .

U Blenderu^(Blender) , koji mjeri vrijeme potrebno CPU -u za renderiranje dvije različite scene, Ryzen 5 3600 bio je samo 3 posto sporiji od 3600X. Oba procesora pokazala su se bržom nego što smo očekivali u ovom benchmarku, iako oba imaju samo šest jezgri, a performanse renderiranja u Blenderu^(Blender) skale izravno na broj jezgri i niti. Ako pogledate graf ispod, možete vidjeti da je Ryzen 5 3600 bio samo jednu minutu sporiji od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 2700 koji, iako je dio prethodne generacije, ima osam jezgri.

Zatim smo pokrenuli PCMark 10 , mjerilo koje ima za cilj mjeriti performanse procesora u svakodnevnim aktivnostima. To znači pregledavanje weba, video konferencije, vrijeme pokretanja aplikacije, produktivnost i stvaranje digitalnog sadržaja. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600 osvojio je 5636 bodova. Iako je gotovo 9 posto sporiji od 3600X, to je i dalje izvrstan rezultat, što pokazuje da ovaj procesor lako može podnijeti sve uobičajene računalne aktivnosti.

Također smo koristili 7-Zip, aplikaciju za kompresiju datoteka koja uključuje benchmark čiji su rezultati izvrsni pokazatelji performansi CPU - a. Za AMD Ryzen 5 3600 izmjerili smo brzinu kompresije od 40 MB/s , istu onu koju smo dobili s AMD Ryzen 5 3600X.

7-Zip-ov benchmark također je otkrio brzinu dekompresije od 712 MB/s , nešto sporije od 3600X. Točnije, Ryzen 5 3600 bio je oko 6 posto sporiji od svog malo skupljeg brata.

Pregledavanje weba^(Web) jedna je od najčešćih aktivnosti za svakoga tko koristi računalo. Zato je bitna brzina kojom vaš web preglednik može prikazati web stranice. Za mjerenje performansi Ryzen 5 3600 prilikom surfanja internetom, koristili smo JetStream 2 koji koristi JavaScript i WebAssembly . Što je rezultat veći, to je procesor brži. Baš^(Just) kao i za Ryzen 5 3600X, bili smo iznenađeni što smo dobili nešto bolji rezultat nego za Ryzen 7 3700X i Ryzen 9 3900X.

Velika je šansa da ste i igrač. Zbog toga smo u nekoliko igara usporedili i Ryzen 5 3600 procesor. ^{(Ryzen 5)}Kako bismo izbjegli potencijalna uska grla grafičke kartice, pokrenuli smo igre u rezoluciji od 1920 x 1080 piksela i s najnižom kvalitetom grafike.

Prva igra koju smo igrali bila je Shadow of the Tomb Raider . Njegov benchmark alat pokazao je da je procesor Ryzen 5 3600 sposoban renderirati 227 sličica u sekundi. Kao što smo i očekivali, ova brojka je nešto niža od one koju smo dobili s 3600X procesorom (255 sličica). Iako razlika nije značajna, pokazuje da nešto viši taktovi 3600X daju nešto bolje performanse u igrama. S druge strane, ako imate dobar hladnjak, možete samo overclockati 3600 procesor i vjerojatno dobiti iste rezultate kao kod 3600X, za 50 dolara manje. 🙂

U Metro Exodusu^{(Metro Exodus)} , koji trenutno ima neke od najstrožih hardverskih zahtjeva, i u pogledu video i procesorskih performansi, izmjerili smo prosječnu brzinu kadrova od 109. On je samo 4% sporiji od Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X, a isti je kao što smo dobili s osmojezgrenim Ryzen 7 2700 procesorom iz prethodne generacije.

U World War Z , koristeći Vulkan API , izmjerili smo prosječnu brzinu kadrova od 195, nešto manje nego kod 3600X. Međutim, gledamo na oko 200 FPS -a, tako da je ova mala razlika prilično beznačajna.

Što se tiče temperatura koje postiže AMD Ryzen 5 3600, vijest nažalost nije dobra. Baš^(Just) kao i njegov brži brat, 3600X, Ryzen 5 3600 se također jako zagrijava. AMD službeno precizira da je maksimalna temperatura 95 stupnjeva. Koristeći priloženi Wraith Stealth hladnjak, Ryzen 5 3600 je redovito dostizao ovu visoku temperaturu, a u nekoliko mjerila ( Blender , Cinebench R20 , Shadow of the Tomb Raider ) bilo je previše: naše računalo se ponovno pokrenulo. Da bismo mogli završiti sve benchmarkove, morali smo koristiti drugačiji hladnjak^{(different cooler)} .

Kako bismo dobili približnu predodžbu o tome koliko snage procesor troši, koristili smo HWiNFO . Koristeći standardni hladnjak, vidjeli smo maksimalnu potrošnju od 70 W. ^(Watts)Međutim, količina potrošene električne energije može biti veća ako koristite bolji hladnjak, koji omogućuje procesoru da održi svoju brzinu pojačanja dulje vrijeme.

Iako se čini da ima problema s visokim temperaturama kada se koristi standardni Wraith Stealth hladnjak, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 je izvrstan procesor. Rezultati koje je postigao u svim našim mjerilima za produktivnost, stvaranje digitalnih medija i igranje igara su izvrsni. Za razumnu cijenu dobivate snažan procesor.^{(Although it seems to have some issues with high temperatures when using the stock Wraith Stealth cooler, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a great processor. The results it obtained in all our benchmarks, for productivity, digital media creation, and gaming, are excellent. For a reasonable price, you get a powerful processor.)}

Kakvo je vaše mišljenje o AMD Ryzen 5 3600?

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vjerojatno je najbolji procesor koji trenutno možete dobiti za manje od 200 dolara. Ne postoji ništa što bi mu moglo parirati po istoj cijeni, tako da je definitivno izvrstan izbor za sve, uključujući igrače, koji žele procesor s izvrsnom omjerom cijene i kvalitete. Slažeš li se?

• Although it costs 50 dollars less than the 3600X, its base and boost clocks are only 200 MHz slower
• It supports PCI Express 4 and fast DDR4 RAM
• You also get a stock cooler (Wraith Stealth) bundled with it

On the down side, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 reaches high temperatures if you use the stock Wraith Stealth cooler on it. That means that, to get the best performance, you should use a different, better cooler.

Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 might just be the best mainstream processor of 2019. For its price, you get both excellent single-core and multi-core performance, support for PCI Express 4.0, and a low TDP. If you want a processor that can run any game or app flawlessly, but do not want to spend a fortune on it, you should buy the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor. It is a great choice for all types of users.

Unboxing the AMD Ryzen 5 3600

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor arrives in a smaller box compared to the ones of other Ryzen 3000 CPUs. It has a rectangular shape, and although it's made of regular cardboard, its design looks good: shades of orange over gray patterns.

On one side of the box, there is a cutout through which you can see the Ryzen 5 3600 processor that you just bought.

When you open the box, you find the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, as well as an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler, a printed installation manual, and a Ryzen 5 sticker.

The unboxing experience offered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor is pleasant and straightforward. We appreciate that AMD also bundled a cooler, and we're sure that many users do too. That means that, theoretically, you do not have to spend additional money on a separate cooler.

Hardware specifications

Just like all the Ryzen 3000 processors that AMD released in 2019, the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU is built on AMD's new architecture called Zen 2, on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process. Zen 2 comes with huge improvements in speed and efficiency compared to the previous generations of AMD processors, but also compared to similarly priced Intel processors.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is sold at just under 200 USD in the United States, and for this price it offers plenty of performance: six cores and twelve threads, clocked at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and with a maximum boost frequency of 4.2 GHz. It is essentially a slightly lesser version of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor, with the same number of cores and threads, but 200 MHz slower base clock and boost clock. However, the amount of Level 3 cache memory is the same as the one on the 3600X and also as the one on the eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X. The price difference between the Ryzen 5 3600X and the Ryzen 5 3600 is about 50 USD, which is significant, so many people might prefer to buy the 3600 and attempt overclocking it by themselves to reach the same speeds as the 3600X.

AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 processor has a default TDP of 65 Watts and can officially reach a maximum temperature of 95 degrees Celsius. The bundled Wraith Stealth cooler should be enough to dissipate the heat of this CPU in normal conditions. However, while testing it, we found out that the processor heats up quite a lot, especially during stressful situations like playing demanding games or running benchmarks.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is designed to work with dual-channel DDR4 RAM at a default frequency of 3200 MHz. However, if you can afford to spend the money on it, the processor works best with 3600 MHz DDR4 RAM. The processor uses the same AM4 Socket as the older AMD Ryzen processors, and that means that you can use it not only with the new X570 motherboards, but also with motherboards based on older chipsets such as X470 or X370. The Ryzen 5 3600 also has support for PCI Express 4, but only if you mount it on an X570 mainboard; on older chipsets it is limited to PCI Express 3.

After looking at the official hardware specs of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, we know that its six cores, twelve threads, and above-average base and boost clocks should be enough to run any software or game. Considering its great price, low TDP, as well as its support for PCI Express 4, the Ryzen 5 3600 appears to be an incredibly powerful competitor to Intel's mid-range processor lineup.

Performance in benchmarks and games

We tested the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 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 clearer impression about the performance offered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, we compared its results in benchmarks with those of the Ryzen 5 3600X, Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 9 3900X, and also with the older AMD Ryzen 7 2700 processor.

We started by running the benchmark offered by CPU-Z. In the Single Thread test, which measures the single-core performance, the Ryzen 5 3600 scored 470 points, which means that it is only 6% slower than the Ryzen 5 3600X. This result tells us that this processor should perform well in games: great news for gamers who do not have the budget for high-end processors!

In CPU-Z's Multi Thread test, which measures the multi-core performance of the processor, the Ryzen 5 3600 got a score of 3658. It is about 9 percent slower than the Ryzen 5 3600X, which, although it has the same number of cores and threads, has 200 MHz faster base and boost clocks. Nonetheless, it is an excellent result.

Next, we moved to the rendering benchmarks and started with Cinebench R20. AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 processor got 3221 points, 300 points or 8.5% less than the Ryzen 3600X.

In Blender, which measures the time needed by the CPU to render two different scenes, the Ryzen 5 3600 was only 3 percent slower than the 3600X. Both processors proved to be faster than we expected in this benchmark, although both of them only have six cores and the rendering performance in Blender scales directly to the number of cores and threads. If you take a look at the graph below, you can see that the Ryzen 5 3600 was just one minute slower than the Ryzen 7 2700 which, although is part of the previous generation, has eight cores.

Then we ran PCMark 10, a benchmark that aims to measure the processor performance in daily activities. That means web browsing, video conferencing, app start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. The Ryzen 5 3600 scored 5636 points. Although it's almost 9 percent slower than the 3600X, it is still an excellent result, which shows that this processor can easily handle any regular computing activities.

We also used 7-Zip, a file compression app that includes a benchmark whose results are excellent indicators for the CPU performance. For the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, we measured a compression speed of 40 MB/s, the same as the one we got with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X.

7-Zip's benchmark also revealed a decompression speed of 712 MB/s, a bit slower than the 3600X. To be more exact, the Ryzen 5 3600 was about 6 percent slower than its slightly more expensive brother.

Web browsing is one of the most common activities for anyone using a computer. That's why the speed at which your web browser can render websites is essential. To measure the performance of the Ryzen 5 3600 when surfing on the internet, we used JetStream 2, which uses JavaScript and WebAssembly. The higher the score, the faster the processor. Just like for the Ryzen 5 3600X, we were surprised to get a slightly better score than we did for the Ryzen 7 3700X and the Ryzen 9 3900X..

There is a good chance that you are also a gamer. That's why we also benchmarked the Ryzen 5 3600 processor in a few games. To avoid potential graphics card bottlenecks, we ran the games in 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and with the lowest graphics quality set.

The first game we played was Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Its benchmark tool showed that the Ryzen 5 3600 processor was capable of rendering 227 frames per second. As we expected, this number is a bit lower than the one we got with the 3600X processor (255 frames). Although the difference is not meaningful, it shows that the slightly higher clocks of the 3600X give slightly better performance in games. On the other hand, if you have a good cooler, you can just overclock the 3600 processor and probably get the same results as with the 3600X, for 50 dollars less. 🙂

In Metro Exodus, which has some of the steepest hardware requirements right now, both in terms of video and processor performance, we measured an average frame rate of 109. It is only 4% slower than the Ryzen 5 3600X, and it is the same as we got with the octa-core Ryzen 7 2700 processor from the previous generation.

In World War Z, using the Vulkan API, we measured an average frame rate of 195, slightly less than with the 3600X. However, we are looking at about 200 FPS, so this small difference is rather insignificant.

As for the temperatures reached by the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, the news is not good, unfortunately. Just like its faster brother, the 3600X, the Ryzen 5 3600 also heats up a lot. AMD officially specifies that the maximum temperature is 95 degrees. Using the bundled Wraith Stealth cooler, the Ryzen 5 3600 reached this high temperature regularly, and in a few benchmarks (Blender, Cinebench R20, Shadow of the Tomb Raider) it was too much: our computer rebooted. To be able to finish all the benchmarks, we had to use a different cooler.

To get an approximate idea of how much power the processor draws, we used HWiNFO. Using the stock cooler, we saw a maximum consumption of 70 Watts. However, the amount of electricity consumed can go higher if you use a better cooler, that allows the processor to sustain its boost speed for longer times.

Although it seems to have some issues with high temperatures when using the stock Wraith Stealth cooler, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a great processor. The results it obtained in all our benchmarks, for productivity, digital media creation, and gaming, are excellent. For a reasonable price, you get a powerful processor.

What is your opinion about the AMD Ryzen 5 3600?

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is probably the best processor you can get for less than 200 dollars right now. There's nothing to match it at the same price, so it is definitely an excellent choice for anyone, including gamers, wanting a processor with a great value for money. Do you agree?
