Ako nas pomno pratite, već ste čuli za nove premium procesore koje je napravio AMD : Ryzen 9 3900X sa svojih 12 jezgri i osmojezgreni Ryzen 7 3700X. Naravno, oni su velika čuda procesorskog inženjerstva, ali koštaju dosta. Dobra vijest je da je AMD lansirao i nekoliko pristupačnijih računalnih procesora. Jedan od njih je izvrstan AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, koji ima šest fizičkih jezgri i 12 procesnih niti, istu količinu cache memorije razine 3 kao ^{(Level 3)} Ryzen 7 3700X i visoki takt za pojačavanje od 4,4 GHz, što znači da bi trebao biti izvrsno za produktivnost, ali prije svega za igranje igara! ima^(Does)sve to privlačno i tebi? Želite li saznati više o novom kralju pristupačnih procesora srednje klase, pročitajte ovu recenziju:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X: Kome je dobar?

Ne biste trebali oklijevati s kupnjom AMD Ryzen 5 3600X ako:

• Strastveni ste^(Are) u zadovoljavanju iskustva igranja
• Potreban vam je izvrstan procesor za produktivne zadatke
• Želite^(Want) potrošiti razumnu količinu novca

Za i protiv

Nakon testiranja i korištenja AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, evo što nam se sviđa kod njega:

• Nudi sjajne performanse s jednom jezgrom, što ga čini izvrsnim za igre
• Njegovih šest jezgri i 12 niti su više nego dovoljni za bilo koji zadatak produktivnosti

Presuda

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X jedan je od najboljih stolnih procesora srednjeg ranga na tržištu. Oduševljeni smo njegovim performansama s jednom jezgrom. To ga čini izvrsnim izborom za igranje, a također smo ugodno iznenađeni koliko se pokazao dobrim za produktivnost, iako ima samo šest jezgri, a ne osam ili više, kao njegova skuplja braća. Ako ste igrač ili ako želite brz procesor, po umjerenoj cijeni, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X je procesor koji biste trebali kupiti.

Raspakiravanje AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X dolazi u prilično velikoj kutiji za procesor, a to je zato što uz njega dobivate i standardni hladnjak. Kutija nije od fensi kartona, ali ipak izgleda dobro. Njegovo ime i neke od značajki i specifikacija otisnute su sa svih strana, koristeći bijele i narančaste boje na pozadini sivog uzorka. Na jednoj od strana kutije možete vidjeti i stvarni procesor, kroz izrez.

Unutar kutije možete pronaći procesor AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600X, hladnjak AMD Wraith Spire , upute za instalaciju i naljepnicu za Ryzen 5 koju možete staviti na kućište računala ili gdje god želite.

Otpakivanje procesora AMD Ryzen 5 3600X ugodno je iskustvo, a lijepo je vidjeti da uz njega dobivate i standardni hladnjak. To znači da možete odmah montirati procesor na svoje računalo i početi ga koristiti.^{(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.)}

Specifikacije hardvera

Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X procesor pripada posljednjoj liniji CPU-^(CPUs) a koje je napravio AMD . Kodnog naziva Matisse^{(Codenamed Matisse)} , serija 3000 procesora izgrađena je na najmanjem proizvodnom procesu u svijetu stolnih računala: 7 nanometara. Ovi procesori, uključujući Ryzen 3600X , koriste radikalno novu arhitekturu, nazvanu Zen 2 , koja im omogućuje da ponude veću brzinu i performanse od bilo kojeg prijašnjeg Ryzen procesora i onu koja se lako može natjecati s Intelovim^(Intel) procesorima.

U Sjevernoj Americi^{(North America)} , AMD Ryzen 5 3600X prodaje se za oko 250 američkih dolara i nudi šest jezgri i dvanaest procesnih niti. Procesor radi na 3,8 GHz frekvenciji i može ići do 4,4 GHz u turbo načinu rada. Gledajući ove bitne specifikacije, mogli biste reći da je ovaj procesor smanjena verzija AMD Ryzen 7 3700X , s dvije jezgre manje i sa 200 MHz sporijim taktom pojačanja. Srećom, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X ima istu količinu cache memorije razine 3 : 32 MB. ^{(Level 3)}Izravna posljedica visoke frekvencije pojačanja je da Ryzen 53600X bi trebao biti odličan za igre koje obično zahtijevaju izvrsne performanse s jednom jezgrom.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X ima zadani TDP od 95 vata, a dolazi sa standardnim hladnjakom koji je također napravio AMD , pod nazivom Wraith Spire . Nije fensi hladnjak s RGB svjetlima, kao što je Wraith Prism koji dobivate s AMD Ryzen 9 3900X ili 3700X , ali trebao bi obaviti pristojan posao u sprječavanju pregrijavanja procesora. Međutim, iz našeg iskustva možemo vam reći da ovaj hladnjak može postati prilično bučan. Ako želite tiho računalo, možda biste trebali investirati u drugi hladnjak.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X podržava brzi DDR4 RAM koji radi na 3200 MHz u dvokanalnom načinu rada. Međutim, za najbolji omjer cijene po izvedbi, možda biste trebali razmisliti o korištenju DDR4 DIMM-ova^{(DDR4 DIMMs)} koji rade na 3600 MHz .

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X koristi isti AM4 socket i, kao dio treće generacije Ryzen procesora, također nudi podršku za PCI Express 4 . Međutim, barem za sada, PCI Express 4 možete dobiti samo na matičnim pločama s X570 čipsetom ( Intel nema procesore koji podržavaju PCIe 4 ). Nedostatak je što su X570 matične ploče prilično skupe u trenutku pisanja ove recenzije. S druge strane, ako ne želite ili trebate PCI Expressverzija 4, dobra vijest je da 3600X možete koristiti i na starijim matičnim pločama s čipsetima kao što su X470 ili X370, iako s PCI Express 3 .

Hardverske specifikacije AMD Ryzen 5 3600X nam govore da je ovo moćan desktop procesor, koji bi trebao ponuditi izvrsne performanse u igrama, kao i u aplikacijama za produktivnost.^{(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.)}

Performanse u mjerilima i igrama

Testirali smo procesor AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600X 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 bolju predodžbu o performansama koje nudi AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, usporedili smo njegove benchmark rezultate s njegovom većom braćom, Ryzen 9 3900X i Ryzen 7 3700X, te sa starijim AMD Ryzen 7 2700 procesorom.

Počeli smo s pokretanjem Cinebench R20 benchmarka, koji ocjenjuje performanse procesora pri renderiranju. U višenitnom testu koji koristi sve jezgre procesora, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X dobio je ocjenu od 3521 bod, što je impresivno za 6-jezgreni CPU . Iako je 27% sporiji od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X i gotovo 50% sporiji od Ryzena 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X, normalno je to vidjeti jer ovaj test koristi sve jezgre procesora. 3600X ima samo šest jezgri, dok 3700X ima 8, a 3900X nema manje od 12 jezgri. S druge strane, 3600X je bio šest posto bolji od starijeg Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 2700 koji ima osam jezgri (2 jezgre više od 3600X).

Zatim smo koristili CPU-Z i izmjerili ocjenu Single Thread od 502 boda. To je fantastična performansa s jednom jezgrom, a to znači da je odličan procesor ako vas zanima igranje igara. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X je samo 3% sporiji od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X i šest posto sporiji od zvjerskog Ryzena 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X. Njegove performanse su također slične onima koje biste dobili od Intel Core i5-9600K, koji također ima šest jezgri.

U CPU-Z- ovom Multi-Thread testu dobili smo ocjenu 4018. Kako ima manje jezgri od svoje velike braće, Ryzen 5 3600X im ne odgovara. Ryzen 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X sa svojih 12 jezgri je dvostruko brži, ali ima i dvostruko više jezgri. Ryzen 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X je 28% brži, ali također ima još dvije jezgre i 200MHz brži takt za pojačavanje. Ryzen 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X je 39% brži od Intel Core i5-9600K, koji dobiva samo 2846 bodova.

Blender Benchmark prikazuje dvije različite scene, nazvane bmw27 i učionica, i mjeri vrijeme završetka. Ova procjena znači da je bržem procesoru potrebno manje vremena, pa su niži rezultati bolji. Opet^(Again) , zbog manjeg broja jezgri, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X je trebalo 22,17 minuta da završi zadatke. Bio je 32% sporiji od 3700X i gotovo dvostruko sporiji od 3900X. Međutim, bio je skoro jednako brz kao Ryzen 7 2700 procesor koji, iako dio prethodne Ryzen generacije, ima osam jezgri.

Također smo koristili PCMark 10 benchmark za mjerenje performansi procesora u svakodnevnim aktivnostima. Pod tim mislimo na pregledavanje weba, video konferencije, vrijeme pokretanja aplikacija, produktivnost i stvaranje digitalnog sadržaja. Ovaj put, Ryzen 5 3600X postigao je mnogo bliži rezultat Ryzenu 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X ili Ryzenu 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X.

7-Zip je softver za kompresiju datoteka koji koristimo za dobivanje ideje o tome koliko su brzi procesori. Brzine kompresije i dekompresije datoteka izvrsni su pokazatelji performansi CPU - a. Koristeći AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, izmjerili smo brzinu kompresije od 40 MB/s , što je jednako onoj koju postiže AMD Ryzen 7 2700.

Brzina dekompresije u 7-Zip- u bila je 760 MB/s , još jednom slična onoj kod Ryzena 7 2700.^{(Ryzen 7)} I brzine kompresije i dekompresije su niže od onih koje smo dobili s 3700X ili 3900X, koji oba imaju više jezgri.

Što bi svijet bio bez interneta i tko ne želi moći surfati maksimalnom brzinom? Kako bismo izmjerili performanse Ryzen 5 3600X prilikom pregledavanja weba, obratili smo se JetStream 2 koji koristi JavaScript i WebAssembly . Što veći rezultat dobijete, to je vaš procesor bolji. Nakon što smo ga nekoliko puta pokrenuli, bili smo iznenađeni kada smo vidjeli da je Ryzen 5 3600X imao prosječnu ocjenu koja je bolja od onih koje smo izmjerili za Ryzen 7 3700X i Ryzen 9 3900X. To je impresivno i nije ništa drugo nego dobra vijest za sve koji surfaju webom na računalu s ovim procesorom.

Za mnoge korisnike, performanse igranja je jedan od bitnih aspekata svakog procesora. Zato smo provjerili i što bi AMD Ryzen 5 3600X mogao učiniti za igrače. Pokušali smo izbjeći eventualna uska grla u videu, pa smo igre radili samo u rezoluciji od 1920 x 1080 piksela i s najnižom kvalitetom grafike.

Benchmark iz Shadow of the Tomb Raidera^{(Tomb Raider)} rekao nam je da Ryzen 5 3600X može renderirati 255 sličica u sekundi. To je puno više od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 2700, i, nevjerojatno, čak je više od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X i Ryzena 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X, iako s malom razlikom.

U Metro Exodus , jednoj od trenutno najzahtjevnijih igara, kako u pogledu video i CPU performansi, izmjerili smo prosječnu brzinu kadrova od 114. Ona je samo 3 do 4% sporija od Ryzena 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X i Ryzena 9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X. Još jednom smo zadivljeni performansama koje u igrama nudi procesor Ryzen 5 3600X!

U World War Z , koristeći Ryzen 5 3600X, imali smo 209 sličica u sekundi ( FPS ). Izvrstan je rezultat, iako je umjereno sporiji od svoje veće braće (3700X i 3900X). To smo i očekivali, jer se radi o igrici koja je optimizirana za višejezgrene procesore. Stoga, što više jezgri, to bolje. 🙂

Kako bismo testirali temperature koje je dosegao AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, pokrenuli smo Prime95 da ga naglasimo i pratili smo ga pomoću HWiNFO . Kao i obično, nismo odabrali korištenje prilagođenog hladnjaka, već standardnog u paketu s procesorom. AMD Ryzen 5 3600X dolazi s hladnjakom pod nazivom Wraith Spire . Nažalost, 3600X CPU koji smo imali dosegnuo je visoke temperature, zagrijavši čak 95 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) (203 stupnja Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) ). To je prema našem mišljenju previše, i, iako je moguće da je naš uzorak imao proizvodni problem, moramo pretpostaviti da nije. Za sigurnost i najbolje performanse koje možete dobiti od Ryzena 5^{(Ryzen 5)}3600X, preporučujemo da kupite bolji hladnjak od standardnog Wraith Prism .

Opet smo koristili HWiNFO , ali ovaj put za mjerenje potrošnje energije AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. Maksimum kojem smo svjedočili bio je od samo 73 vata, što je manje od njegovog oglašenog TDP -a . Međutim, kada je CPU potrošio ovu snagu, također je dosegao zabrinjavajuću temperaturu od 95 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) , što bi moglo značiti da se gasi.

Izvedba kojoj smo svjedočili na AMD Ryzen 5 3600X tijekom testova i benchmarka je vrhunska i pokazuje da je njegova sudbina biti najbolji mainstream procesor i za igranje i za produktivnost. Osim ako nemate novca za premium Ryzen 7 3700X ili Ryzen 9 3900X, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X je odlična kupnja.^{(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.)}

Jako nam se sviđa AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, velikim slovima! To je izvrstan desktop procesor koji AMD prodaje po pravoj cijeni i smatramo ga izvrsnim izborom za svakog igrača ili korisnika koji želi procesor izvrsnih performansi.

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.

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.

What is your opinion about the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X?

We like the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X a lot, in capital letters! It is a great desktop processor that AMD sells at the right price, and we consider it an excellent choice for any gamer or user who wants a great performing processor. Do you agree with our perspective? Comment below and let's discuss.
