steven36 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The R5 3600X costs $50 more than the R5 3600, and so we're looking into whether it's worth it for the higher base and boost clocks. Ad: Buy Corsair's Hydro X blocks (Amazon) This review benchmarks AMD's new Ryzen 5 3600X CPU vs. the R5 3600, R7 3700X, and R9 3900X, primarily looking at value versus the R5 3600. In this review, we assume you've already made the decision to opt for either an R5 3600 or R5 3600X, and are focusing *ONLY* on talking about that comparison. If you'd like a wider comparison versus Intel i5/i7 and previous AMD Ryzen CPUs, watch our R5 3600 review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AbNeht4tAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlston Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Watched this video (and others about the 3600) yesterday. All make a good value case for the 3600 over the 3600X. Abandoned AMD when Intel's Core 2 Duo released in 2006 (IIRC), but if I was to do a build today, this 3600 would be in it. Those X570 motherboards are expensive, yikes. Fortunately the older B450 motherboards are compatible with these new Ryzens, though a BIOS update will most likely be needed. That's another nice thing about AMD CPU's, backward compatibility with older motherboard chip sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
