AMD's new 6-core CPU trailed the 8700K by a small margin in the Corona benchmark, but given the difference in price this remains a solid showing for the R5 3600. Personalmente mi sono concesso un PC nuovo dopo ben 10 anni e ne ho approfittato per rinnovare un pò tutto:

Having tested both R5 3600 models (see all of that further down below), here's the tale of the tape:

From the manufacturer

Forza Horizon 5, like Dying Light 2, isn't a CPU intensive game, but unlike Far Cry it doesn't need to be. The Ryzen 5 3600 is very capable here, driving over 200 fps with the 6950 XT at both 1080p and 1440p. We also saw over 70% performance gains in seven of the 23 games tested with most games showing over a 50% uplift, hence the 51% gain on average. Both CPUs were tested on the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme with 16GB of G.Skill's FlareX DDR4-3200 CL14 memory and a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti on the graphics side.

Watch Dogs Legion is a CPU demanding game and we see that while the 5600 was 14% faster than the 3600, the 5800X3D is up to 85% faster, pushing the average frame rate for the 6950 XT at 1080p out to 174 fps. Moving on to Cyberpunk, which is a title that's typically GPU limited well before CPU performance becomes an issue, at least when running a modern processor. That said, using the 6950 XT at 1080p saw the 5800X3D race ahead by up to a 55% margin, hitting 171 fps on average. Finishing up the gaming benchmarks we have Total War: Three Kingdoms and here the R5 3600 offered stronger 1% low performance than the 9600K with a slightly lower average frame rate. But once we jump up to 1440p with the RTX 2080 Ti the performance margins are neutralized between the 9600K and 3600. Moving on to Adobe Premiere we see the biggest performance gain yet as the 3600X reduced the render time by 5%, taking 513 seconds opposed to 539 seconds. Not a big deal though. We see the same in Battlefield V, the 3600X was only up to 2 fps faster than the non-X model, so about the same performance.The Intel Core i5 was a little faster in a few of the games tested, but the R5 3600 was miles faster where you'll notice it. So this one's pretty cut and dry unless Intel decides to cut pricing heavily. Today we'll be comparing it against the Ryzen 5 3600 and for good measure we'll also throw in the Ryzen 5 5600 data we had already collected as well.
