The Ryzen 5 3600X poses a solid one-size-fits-all solution for gamers. It's undoubtedly a convincing upgrade over previous generation chips and the competition's fare, capable of both multithreaded every day workloads, a modicum of content creation, and...
High single- and multi-core performance, Well-priced, Compatible with older chipsets
Runs hotter than the Ryzen 5 2600X
With the relatively simple improvement of a single-core speed boost, AMD has made the Ryzen 5 3600X the most well-realised mid-range Ryzen chip yet. It's always been nice to have such immense multicore power, though anyone who seriously needs it would lik...
While in some situations it's the same old argument - Intel is quicker in games - that argument no longer holds as much weight as it once did thanks to the gains AMD has made. At stock speed, even with a fairly powerful GPU and at 1080p (putting a lot of...
Excellent performance, Affordable, Includes a cooler
Still 6-cores
For the longest time, AMD processors, especially in the mid-range, were the budget choice for gaming. If you didn't have a lot of cash and wanted acceptable performance, you'd pick up an AMD processor, while Intel was the mainstream pick. However, times h...
