拆箱 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 装在一个相当大的处理器盒子里，那是因为你还可以买到一个普通的冷却器^{(stock cooler)}。盒子不是用花哨的硬纸板做的，但看起来还不错。它的名称和一些特性和规格都印在四面八方，在灰色图案背景^{(pattern background)}上使用白色和橙色。在盒子的一侧，您还可以通过切口看到实际的处理器。

在包装盒内，您可以找到AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 处理器、AMD Wraith Spire 散热器^{(AMD Wraith Spire cooler)}、安装说明和Ryzen 5贴纸，可贴在您的PC 机箱^{(PC case)}或您喜欢的任何地方。

拆箱 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 处理器是一种愉快的体验，很高兴看到您还可以获得一个库存冷却器。这意味着您可以立即将处理器安装到您的计算机中并开始使用它。^{(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.)}

硬件规格

Ryzen 5 3600X 处理器属于AMD制造的最新CPU 系列^(CPUs)。代号为 Matisse^{(Codenamed Matisse)}的 3000 处理器系列基于桌面世界中最小的制造工艺：7 纳米。^{(manufacturing process)}这些处理器，包括锐龙 3600X^{(Ryzen 3600X)}，使用了一种全新的架构，称为Zen 2，这使得它们能够提供比任何以前的锐龙处理器更高的^(Ryzen)速度和性能^{(speed and performance)}，并且可以轻松地与英特尔^(Intel)的处理器竞争。

在北美^{(North America)}，AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 售价约 250 美元，提供六核十二处理线程。该处理器的时钟频率为 3.8 GHz^{(GHz frequency)} ，在 Turbo 模式下最高可达 4.4 GHz 。通过查看这些基本规格，您可能会说这款处理器是AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 的精简版，减少了两个内核，并且提升时钟^{(boost clock)}速度降低了 200 MHz。幸运的是，AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 拥有相同数量的3 级^{(Level 3)}缓存^{(cache memory)}：32 MB。高升压频率^{(boost frequency)}的直接后果是锐龙 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X应该非常适合游戏，通常需要出色的单核性能。

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 的默认TDP为^(TDP)95 瓦，并配备了同样由AMD制造的^(AMD)库存冷却器^{(stock cooler)}，称为Wraith Spire。它不是带有RGB灯的精美冷却器，就像您使用AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 或 3700X 获得的^{(AMD Ryzen 9)}Wraith Prism一样，但它在防止处理器过热方面应该做得不错。但是，根据我们的经验，我们可以告诉您，这个冷却器会变得非常嘈杂。如果您想要一台静音 PC，您可能需要购买另一个散热器。

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 支持在双通道模式下以 3200 MHz运行的快速DDR4 RAM 。但是，为了获得最佳性价比，^{(performance ratio)}您可能需要考虑使用运行频率为 3600 MHz的^(MHz)DDR4 DIMM^{(DDR4 DIMMs)}。

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 使用相同的AM4插槽^{(AM4 socket)}，作为第三代Ryzen处理器的一部分，它还提供对PCI Express 4的支持。但是，至少目前，您只能在带有X570 芯片组^{(X570 chipset)}的主板上获得PCI Express 4（英特尔^(Intel)没有任何支持PCIe 4的处理器）。缺点是X570主板在撰写这篇评论时相当昂贵。另一方面，如果您不想要或不需要PCI Express 版本 4^{(PCI Express version 4)}，好消息是您也可以在带有芯片组的旧主板上使用 3600X，例如X470 或 X370^{(X470 or X370)}，尽管带有PCI Express 3。

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 的硬件规格告诉我们，这是一款功能强大的台式机处理器，应该在游戏和生产力应用中提供出色的性能。^{(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.)}

在基准测试和游戏中的表现

我们在具有以下硬件和软件^{(hardware and software)}的 PC 上测试了AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 处理器：

• 主板：华硕ROG Crosshair VIII Hero^{(ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero)}（Wi-Fi）
• 内存：HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 内存^{(HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory)}（2 x 8GB，3600MHz）
• 显卡：华硕 ROG STRIX ^(Card)GTX 1660 ^{(ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660)} Ti GAMING OC
• 存储：ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• 显示器：华硕 ROG Strix XG32VQ^{( ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ)}曲面电竞显示器^{(Gaming Monitor)}（32 英寸WQHD 2560 x^{(x 1440)} 1440，144Hz）
• 电源^{(Power Supply Unit)}：ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• 操作系统^{(Operating System)}：Windows 10 Pro x64，2019年 5 月^{(May 2019)} 更新^(Update)

为了更好地了解AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 提供的性能，我们将其基准测试结果与其更大的兄弟Ryzen 9 3900X 和Ryzen 7 3700X 以及较旧的AMD Ryzen 7 2700 处理器进行了比较。

我们从运行Cinebench R20 基准^{(Cinebench R20 benchmark)}开始，它评估渲染时的处理器性能^{(processor performance)}。在使用所有处理器内核的多线程测试中，AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 获得了 3521 分的成绩，这对于 6 核CPU来说是可观的。虽然它比Ryzen 7 3700X 慢 27%，比^{(Ryzen 7)}Ryzen 9 3900X慢近 50% ，但这是正常的，因为该测试使用了所有处理器内核。3600X只有6核，3700X有8核，3900X不少于12核。另一方面，3600X 比旧款锐龙7^{(Ryzen 7)} 2700 好 6%，后者有 8 个核心（比 3600X 多 2 个核心）。

然后，我们使用CPU-Z并测量了502 分的单线程得分^{(Single Thread score)}。这是出色的单核性能^{(single-core performance)}，这意味着如果您对游戏感兴趣，它是一款出色的处理器。Ryzen 5 3600X 仅比Ryzen 7 3700X 慢 3%，比 Ryzen 9 3900X 慢6 %^{(Ryzen 9)}。它的性能也类似于您从英特尔酷睿 i5-9600K^{(Intel Core i5-9600K)}获得的性能，后者也有六个内核。

在CPU-Z的多线程测试中，我们得到了 4018 的分数。由于它的核心比它的老大哥少，Ryzen 5 3600X 无法与之匹敌。拥有 12 个核心的Ryzen 9 3900X 的速度是前者的两倍，但它的核心也是两倍。Ryzen 7 3700X 的速度提高了 28 % % faster但它还有两个内核，以及一个 200MHz更快的升压时钟^{(faster boost clock)}。锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X比英特尔酷睿 i5-9600K^{(Intel Core i5-9600K)}快39 % faster，后者仅获得 2846 分。

Blender Benchmark渲染两个不同的场景，称为bmw27 和教室^{(bmw27 and classroom)}，并测量完成时间。这种评估意味着更快的处理器需要更少的时间，因此越低的结果越好。同样^(Again)，由于内核较少，AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 需要 22.17 分钟才能完成任务。它比 3700X 慢 32%，几乎比 3900X 慢两倍。然而，它几乎和锐龙 7^{(Ryzen 7)} 2700 处理器一样快，虽然是上一代锐龙^{(Ryzen generation)}的一部分，但它有八个核心。

我们还使用PCMark 10基准测试来衡量处理器在日常活动中的性能。我们指的是网页浏览、视频会议^{(video conferencing)}、应用程序启动时间、生产力和数字内容创建^{(content creation)}。这一次，锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X 的得分更接近锐龙9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X 或锐龙7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X。

7-Zip 是我们用来了解处理器速度的文件压缩软件。^{(compression software)}文件压缩和解压缩速度^{(file compression and decompression speeds)}是CPU 性能^{(CPU performance)}的优秀指标。使用AMD Ryzen 5 3600X，我们测得的压缩速度^{(compression speed)}为 40 MB/sAMD Ryzen 7 2700的压缩速度相同。

7-Zip的解压速度^{(decompression speed)}为760 MB/s，再次与Ryzen 7 2700相似。压缩和解压速度^{(compression and decompression speeds)}都低于我们使用 3700X 或 3900X 获得的速度，它们都有更多的内核。

如果没有互联网，世界会怎样？谁不想以最快的速度上网？为了衡量锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X 在浏览网页时的性能，我们求助于使用JavaScript 和 WebAssembly的^{(JavaScript and WebAssembly)}JetStream 2。您获得的分数越高，您拥有的处理器就越好。运行几次后，我们惊讶地发现Ryzen 5 3600X 的平均得分比我们为Ryzen 7 3700X 和Ryzen 9 3900X 测量的得分要好。这令人印象深刻，对于使用此处理器在 PC 上上网的每个人来说，这不过是个好消息。

对于许多用户来说，游戏性能是任何处理器的重要方面之一。这就是为什么我们还检查了AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 可以为游戏玩家做什么。我们试图避免任何可能的视频瓶颈，因此我们只以 1920 x 1080像素的分辨率和最低的图形质量运行游戏。

《古墓丽影^{(Tomb Raider)}之影^(Shadow)》的基准测试告诉我们，锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X 每秒可以渲染 255 帧。这比Ryzen 7 2700 多得多，而且令人惊讶的是，它甚至比Ryzen 7 3700X 和Ryzen 9 3900X 还要多，尽管差距很小。

在Metro Exodus中，目前对视频和 CPU 性能^{(video and CPU performance)}要求最高的游戏之一，我们测得的平均帧速率为 114。它仅比锐龙7^{(Ryzen 7)} 3700X 和锐龙9^{(Ryzen 9)} 3900X 慢 3% 到 4%。再次，我们对锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X 处理器在游戏中提供的性能感到惊讶！

在World War Z中，使用Ryzen 5 3600X，我们每秒有 209 帧 ( FPS )。这是一个很好的结果，尽管它比它的大兄弟（3700X 和 3900X）要慢一些。我们预料到了，因为这是一款针对多核处理器进行了优化的游戏。因此，核心越多越好。🙂

为了测试AMD Ryzen 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600X所达到的温度，我们运行Prime95对其施加压力，并使用HWiNFO对其进行监控。像往常一样，我们没有选择使用定制的冷却器^{(custom cooler)}，而是与处理器捆绑在一起的库存。^{(stock one)}AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 配备了一个名为Wraith Spire的散热器。不幸的是，我们的 3600X CPU已经达到了高温，高达 95摄氏度^(Celsius)（203华氏度^(Fahrenheit)）。我们认为这太过分了，尽管我们的样品可能存在制造问题^{(manufacturing issue)}，我们必须假设它没有。为了安全和您可以从Ryzen 5 3600X 获得的最佳性能，我们建议您购买比库存的Wraith Prism更好的冷却器。

我们再次使用了HWiNFO，但这次是测量AMD Ryzen 9 3900X的功耗。^{(power consumption)}我们目睹的最大功率仅为 73 瓦，低于其宣传的TDP。但是，当CPU消耗这个功率时，它也达到了令人担忧的 95 摄氏度的温度^(Celsius)，这可能意味着它正在节流。

我们在测试和基准测试中见证了 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 的性能是一流的，这表明它的命运是成为游戏和生产力方面最好的主流处理器。除非您有钱购买更优质的 Ryzen 7 3700X 或 Ryzen 9 3900X，否则 AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 是一个不错的选择。^{(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.)}

您对AMD 锐龙 5^{(AMD Ryzen 5)} 3600X 有何看法？

我们非常喜欢AMD Ryzen 5 3600X，大写字母！这是一款出色的台式机处理器^{(desktop processor)}，AMD以合适的价格出售，我们认为它是任何想要高性能处理器的^{(performing processor)}游戏玩家或用户^{(gamer or user)}的绝佳选择。你同意我们的观点吗？在下面发表评论^(Comment)，让我们讨论。

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor review: 2019's best mid-range choice!

• AMD bundles a Wraith Spire cooler with it
• Its performance and features are better than what you get from Intel at the same price

As for downsides:

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600X tends to heat up too much when using the stock cooler. You must buy a separate cooler that is more efficient

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.
