Amd ryzen 5 3600 beats the intel i7

Summing up a bit about the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 specs, the chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. It has a 3.6 GHz base clock and a 4.2 GHz Boost clock that are pretty standard for a 6-core piece. It also has 35MB of total cache and a TDP of just 65W, all of which will be available for as little as $ 199 starting July 7.

Ryzen 5 3600 performs on par with an i7-8700K for $ 199

The good news about this chip comes when compared to a competitor processor in the same performance range, such as the i7-8700K, which is costing roughly $ 370.

The Ryzen 5 3600 has been detected in two benchmark databases, Geekbench and UserBenchmark. There is also a specific benchmark point that has been posted by members of the Chiphell forum, but first we will focus our attention on the more CPU-focused benchmark points and see how the next generation of Ryzen 5 faces its competitors and predecessors based on the Zen / Zen + cores.

Geekbench V4

One entry is made on an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus motherboard while the other has been made on the ASUS Prime X470-PRO motherboard. Both produce a different score from each other due to the different system configuration, but the scores of one and several threads are quite similar in both cases. The X570 configuration scores 5, 390 points in single core and 26, 371 points in multi-core points, while the X470 configuration scores 5, 358 points in one core and 27, 485 points in multi-core.

In comparison, the Ryzen 7 1800X has an average of 4400 points with a core and 24000 points in multi-core, the 8700K has an average of 5400 points and 25000 points respectively, while the Ryzen 5 2600 has around 4700 and 23000 points in a core and multi-core. The performance boost over Zen and Zen + based chips is just stellar, and they come on par with the i7-8700K and Core i7-9700K at a much lower price.

UserBenchmark and Chiphell Results

At UserBenchmark we see that there is a 7% advantage in IPC over the i7-7700K Kaby Lake.

The Core i7-8700K and 9700K are very similar to each other and the Ryzen 5 3600 seems to have a compelling advantage in terms of price and performance and also from the fact that it is a 65W chip compared to the 95W that the variants occupy. from Intel.

Finally, on the Chiphell forums, where a user who apparently owns a Ryzen 5 3600 compares it to the i7-8700 on PUBG. User reports that he saw an average FPS gain of 6.3% and a maximum FPS gain of 10%.

We'll see more as we get closer to launch on July 7, but it all looks very promising for the new Ryzen series.
