In this review of AMD's new Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, we look at the remainder of Intel's i5 lineup -- primarily composed of the i5-9600K -- and run generational benchmarks versus AMD's older R5 2600/2600X and R5 1600 CPUs. All modern CPUs on the chart also have overclock numbers accompanying them. Memory was 3200MHz CL14 with manually configured secondary and tertiary timings for all bench platforms, ensuring data accuracy and consistency. 3200MHz is the highest frequency that works on everything we benchmarked in this list, allowing us to control a variable while still using a reasonable memory speed. We'll do separate benchmarking on memory scaling. In the meantime, this benchmark tests the AMD R5 3600 for power consumption, Blender performance, Premiere, Photoshop, 7-Zip, V-Ray, GCC code compiling, and more, alongside gaming benchmarks versus Intel. Our reviews of the AMD R9 3900X, R7 3700X, AMD RX 5700 XT, and AMD RX 5700 are forthcoming or have already been published, depending on when you check this video. Be sure to check back regularly to catch all of the reviews -- they're mostly done! AMD vs. Intel 2019 has officially started.

@uP-Andre are you looking at a different video than me? Because what I see Price/Performance wise is insane... Always close to the 9700k that's a lot more expensive and has a 30 Watt higher tdp...
What cpu would you recommend going from 2600 to the new gen?

THE SINGLE most important factor in a CPU is value for me. Who cares about performance when there's only a ~5% difference?
Yeah, the % difference is minimal, nobody would notice it for everyday use. Sometimes I think only people obsessed with numbers or even OCD care.
The thing is, the 5% difference is in an extremely controlled gaming environment (high end GPU, lower resolution). Productivity performance on the other hand, is almost 50% higher than the 9600k, which is 50% more expensive with a decent cooler.
If the 5% difference equals 5% higher price, that would be great. But it's not the case, lol goddamn Warhammer 2 (maybe the game I played the most in the last years, with a i7 2600k) got a 12% comparing 3600 vs 2600. Maybe that's enough to justify it?

@@gamesmaster1060 ok?

Whenever you think you picked a wrong time to buy your PC parts just remember about all the people who bought their 7600k and 7700k...
I still remember thinking about getting an i5 6600k but realized games did use all 8 cores of my fx 8350, so i grabbed an i7 6700k instead.
When Ryzen rumors started to leak, the writing was on the wall. 4 core i5's were on their death bed.
eh, I used my 7700k for two years solid at 4.9Ghz before purchasing a 2600x in early 2019. No complaints with either chip.

You should benchmark a game called "They are Billions" Its very very CPU dependent and it scales on as many cores as you throw at it, look it up.
Also City Skylines would be another one to look at very CPU dependent as well but not sure on its scaling.
Cities is cpu heavy on only 3 cores - ot was a knowing choice on their part when coding to design for i5's of the time and leave 1 core free for system tasking
@@bengrogan9710 Ahh thank you for the knowledge.
Shame they went down that path.

@@larrywang510 Not really, as the devs on they are billions say they seen near to perfect scaling on their game on CPUs up to 12 cores.

Improving performances by disabling SMT looks like a Windows scheduler optimization problem
Ya, LTT mentioned it in their video for the R7/R9 cpu's as well. Will be interesting to see how much tweaking that would benefit performance.
Yes and no. You can also get better performance on Intel chips by disabling SMT sometimes, and that has been the case ever since SMT first came out. SMT can decrease performance if any of the shared resources are bottlenecks for performance. It also puts more pressure on developers to test whether their code runs well on SMT-enabled hardware.
The floating Point Units and larger L3 Cache on Ryzen 3000 really speed up productivity
I'm thinking it's kind like 20% was the wider FPU/AVX, 25% was the larger L3, 5% was the wider IF chiplet to chiplet link + additional address generation unit + the extra store unit in the pipeline + etc (misc frontend and backend and intra and inter-chip I/O improvements) ... and the remaining 50% was the new TAGE branch predictor!
This is cascaded with Zen 1's hashed perceptron predictor - this first predictor can do its predictions in a single cycle, but can get some false positives. The TAGE predictor needs multiple cycles to run, but is around 60% more accurate in general (AFAIK/IIRC) but more importantly can also handle much more complex conditions for those predictions, the sort of cases where a misprediction is _very_ [unusually] costly yet also particularly hard to predict.

You're honestly arguing that more people use the latest desktop processors to game on than work? Maybe watching this channel but in general not so much. Render times can kill productivity in a work environment almost as much as RUclips.

@James H Uh, that's laughably wrong. There are more PC-based content creators then there are PC-based gamers. If you're a gamer that streams, that also brings in the same value and performance considerations that content creators have to deal with. People that live in a browser don't matter to any category - though even then the Zen 2 APUs (both mobile and desktop) will be in some decently powerful cheapo-builds that will be in their price range. Don't be a s***stain, asshat.

I can't even imagine the amount of work goes in making these highly detailed review , great video steve
This is the first Ryzen 3000 video I watched today, I scrolled through a list of about 40 videos looking for your video on this CPU. Just thought you should know.
I know why these types of reviews use a high end GPU, like a 2080 Ti in this case. But if you have the money for that kind of GPU, you don't end up buying an AMD R5 3600. The type of person that chooses an AMD R5 3600 would go for something like 2060 or 1600 Ti or now the RX 5700. So it would be nice to pair it with that kind of GPU and benchmark a few CPUs closer to the 3600, like the 2600, i5 8400 and things like that, to give people information about CPUs that they can really afford and the real differences with the GPU they are going to buy. For example, here you can see that there is a good difference between the 2600 and the 3600, but if you buy a 1660 Ti, maybe that difference shrink to the point that it doesn't make any sense to buy the 3600. In any case, great video though!!
Yeah. These reviews are, after all, the _correct_ way to benchmark CPUs, in the sense that it will tell you how they stack up in raw performance.
But sometimes people just wanna know how a particular combination actually does. You can extrapolate from raw performance but this is necessarily a fuzzy non exact thing, and like you said, while it might look like there is a sizable difference between a 3600 and a 9600k or something, once you pair it with the likes of a 2060 (Super) or 7600 (XT) GPU, not so much... and this isn't always obvious to people!
How about gtx 1070 asus dual?
That good enough?
Got linked here from reddit over a post upgrading my build and I'm honestly really impressed by the quality of this review. The name made me think it was just going to be a small channel but this entire review is very well done!

YAY, now Intel Fan Boys can continue to chant "Intel's the Best for Gaming" since the $500+ 9900k and it's $350 or so siblings beat a $200 chip. Problem is the R5 3600 has bigger brothers that actually out perform the 9900k for the same or less money.

Alright, alright, I'll buy it. Time to retire the old 4690k.
I mean... the 4690K is still a good chip, yes, putting in an actual measurable lineup will make it look bad, but I would still bet on a buget system with a 4690K, 16Gigs and a GTX 970 to max most if not all games at 1080p resolution, most hitting 60FPS+, unless you are actually planning an upgrade, I would not buy a new system just to buy a new system, 4th gen has not fallen far enough behind for that especially since most gamers are on a budget 1080p 60hz 27 inch lcd anyway. Im assuming you dont have limitless resources as you would have upgraded long ago if that was the case.

Dragon Systems I’m running an i7 2600 (non overclockable) and an r9 390 8gb graphics card. I’ve really been looking to get a new motherboard and processor and the new 3600 and maybe even 3700x are looking enticing. Would you suggest I upgrade my processor first or try investing in a new graphics card? I figured after I put in a new mobo, processor, and ram, I’d work on a graphics card then.
@@dragonsystems5973It is a good chip, for most older games. I'm running it paired with a 1070ti and 16gb ddr3, at 1440p. But Battlefield 5 is kicking the old 4690k's ass even with a 4,2ghz oc. Come to think of it, most Frostbite games are. It's always pegged at 100% and gives me horribly unstable framerates, even with 1440p and other optimizations.
@@101styx7 depends on the game, for example, if you want to run something like say Ashes Of The Singularity at a high level CPU and ram matter a lot more... I honestly think in your case you are loosing more as a result of your older board and ram than video card, if you had something stupid like a GTX 750Ti for example I would go the other direction... but I think it is about money as much as anything. Your hardware is old enough that you would see across the board real viable gains with a complete new system.... if you can afford it do it, you definitely wont end up in your case in the situation where you spend a grand and a half and think "wow, this was a waste of money and its barely more computer"
Dragon Systems well my computer doesn’t have any speed problems at all because I have a separate 250 gig ssd drive as the boot with windows and 32 gigs of ram. I’ve never had as much as a stutter or hiccup out of regular use, but when I play a cpu intensive game like gta 5 I can tell I’m bottlenecking my processor. So I figure I’d be better off just buying a new mobo and processor before I go shelf out a bunch of money on a new system. I just built mine a few months ago on a budget, just looking to upgrade
Who else goes straight to gamers nexus whenever theres a new product launch
I really like the 2023 re-visit of Ryzen 5 3600 that now beats out the i5 9600K in almost every game, and in some newer games that make use of 12 threads difference is up to 33% in favour of Ryzen 5.
Especially with this new hardware launch, would you consider (after some well deserved rest) doing some benchmarks comparing current-gen hardware conponent performance in Windows 10 vs a typical Linux install?
Yes please, Second This!
linux performs much better, because windows scheduler is trash. this especially true in multi core tasks where i myself notice a 20-25% increase in performance.
Hello police👮 this is Carl and I would like to confirm a murder report by AMD.

If you plan on streaming or recording gameplay you might want to think otherwise. Look at some streaming benchmarks, the 9700k gets slapped
0:30
Me: *Sees cat*
Also me: Best video ever
CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT CHART AT 7:04?
HOLY SHHHHHT. At $200 CPU is 10fps behind intel's $500 CPU?! HOOOLLY
MOLEY
It just gets harder to improve. Even 3900x didnt beat i9.
Linus is so sloppy when showing results that I had to come here and watch real benchmark results
He’s quite droppy too
Linus is better in presentation tho. I had like to stop this video 4 times to get through it. It's all to much info to fast and almost monotone which makes it hard to follow.
Don't get me wrong it's great how informative he is. Presentation wise he could just improve on several points. As it sometimes just sounds like rambling.
Just snagged a week old 3600 with retail packaging/unused cooler for $120. Swapped out my 2700x for it in the x570 Media PC and 2700x will go to my kids B450 PC.
Thank you guys for your hard work with all these releases and making sure we get the these numbers on day 1. You work is much appreciated!
So, Intel is still better for gaming, video and Adobe CS. If you mainly run gcc this is CPU for you it seems.
Holy crap it's so close to the 8700k!
None use 8700k at stock.
Sote Petreski +1. I am glad that AMD is catching up to Intels gaming performance. However I am even more happy that I did buy the 8700K on launch for a good price. Also a very light 4,8ghz overclock gives it a +15% performance boost. The future will be most interesting, once games become cpu heavy with the arrival of the next gen consoles. I cannot wait to see how Intels quadcore fanclub will get annihilated
@Nuno Herdeiro bullshit
@@pramitkhanna7163 fraid it's true.
Spot the fanboi anyone? Lol ... if bottlenecked CPU gaming is the only thing that is important to you, then Intel deserves you. :)
I really hate being a fanboy. Look at some of these comments so biased and just mock (not all). I don't care which brand I buy as long as it fits my wallet and really has the balance between price/performance. But right now this cpu is gonna be in my wish list. (being fanboy doesn't save you money).
I have a i3 6100 and 2166mhz Ram. I'm planning on keeping the RAM.
When I started watching this video, there were 3.6k likes... at the end, there are already 4.3k! Good content regarding a good product!
Everyone else is doing 3700x and 3900x, 3600 is the one I am interested in, yay for Steve.
There is a significant FPS increase on my i5-8600k (6c/6t) build with a GTX 1080 Ti compared to my former i7-3770 (4c/8t) paired with a GTX 970. (Which makes sense...)
But like Steve said, the frametime consistency dropped heavily in my 8600K build.
Seems like the IPC is not the only thing for gaming anymore.
I saw " Strong Recommendation" and immediately bought it. Running it on a B350 mobo but it's sending the fans mental. Massive temp spikes and sudden drops after swapping out my 1600. Reinstalled Windows. HWMonitor isn't showing CPU temps. My 1600 was dead silent. Looks like it's going to be a rocky start for me.
My Ryzen 3600 on my B450m is idling at 55C on stock coolers. This chip is runs HOT.
erwin malimban its a piece of crap. Got sucked in by the hype but so many issues with this cpu. Performance isnt everything, everything was cool, quiet and hassle free with my intel+nvidia system.
Get a decent cooler. Running mine on a b350 as well and it's fine. Idles at 34c. Max is around 50c.
Scott Witt have a true spirit direct 140
@@fredriksvard2603 what issues did you have with the 3600? Just got mine swapped out the other day and the only issue I've had was getting a bios that it works with on this old board. Was on the newer bios earlier and my xmp profiles wouldn't work. After some long hours of head scratching, I found an older beta bios that works fine now.
Great review as expected.
Just a small note, the i9-9900k is mislabeled as i7 in the power consumption chart at 26:10
Man you're sharp
You know why your here!!
**30min video**
Why have you forsaken me!!!
(Been watching several reviews)
Chopsuey!
This CPU is looking fantastic. Gonna be a buy for sure. Thanks for the review GN!
This was awesome! Everyone else was dropping 9300X and 3700X content based I presume on the review pack that AMD sent out, and your team comes out of the gate with 3600! Brilliant and much needed coverage and exactly what I needed standing in line at Microcenter on launch morning.
It's truly amazing how you have evolved to include a great number of details, trials, options, and highlights to make it palatable for the viewer. Very well done. Thank you for your hard work.
It looks like the 3600x comes with the spire cooler vs the stealth on the 3600. That may be something to consider if you're not going with an aftermarket solution.
Also: 2000 series Ryzen deals for black Friday should be interesting. I imagine they're going to move A LOT of 2700X chips.
Yeah, I think I'm going with the 3600x because of that.
@@TimothyGordon1245 That's definitely the deal, I think that cooler can handle that cpu fine even after a bit of overclocking.
@@dave-ish8098 The Spire on my 2600x was a bit loud and kept my temps higher than I liked (though within range). I ended up putting on a Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT, temps and noise dropped considerably. To the point I almost upgraded my PSU because I finally realized how annoying it's fan sounded. If you enjoy the process of OC'ing, I'd probably just grab the 3600 and an aftermarket cooler (was my original plan for the 2600/x, but when I went to buy the 2600, the 2600x happened to only be $20 or so more before the 2600 dropped in price further last summer). Even grabbing someone's unused Prism for $20-30 off ebay would probably be noticeably better in temps and noise. If you don't want to fiddle much, grab the 3600x and see how much the noise bugs you.
@@FireMrshlBill From what I've seen for temps if you're going to spend another $30 on a cooler you may as well get a 212 or something like that vs a Prism. I have the stealth now and though about upgrading but cost/benefit shows I should just get a proper aftermarket cooler if I go that route.
@@dave-ish8098 Ya, I compare the prism to the 212 in performance, just with the RGB for those that like its looks. Though I'd definitely consider going for something more either way, especially if someone ends up grabbing the 3600x with the Spire, the 212 isn't a big enough jump to be worth paying ~$30 extra over the Spire. Ya, if the stealth working ok for you now, just wait for a good sale.
I do recommend the Le Grand Macho RT for Ryzen if you end up going with the higher tiered air coolers instead of liquid. Check out Tweaktown's review, they had it cooler and quieter than the DH-15, had better memory clearance and it is about $10 cheaper. Plus my case was too narrow for the DH-15 or Dark Rock Pro 4's height, but the Thermaltake fit perfectly. And the gloves and screwdriver they include is a nice touch. Though, plenty of coolers in the $45-$60 range that would have sufficed as well (especially if you catch a good sale), I just talked myself into going from $50 up to $80 by saying "whats another $10 over the lifetime of the PC" a few times.
Excellent review! Looking forward to the one on the 3700X.
Every other channel is Covering the Ryzen 7 and 9. Only GN is covering the 5, the CPU that most of us will buy (I know I'm getting a 3600X)
@@steampunkskunk3638 and Tech Deals
GN, thank you for reviewing this product first, which i'm pretty sure a vast majority of your audience will buy or consider buying, you guys are just awesome :)
I just upgraded from a 2500k to a Ryzen 5 3600 and i am very impressed & happy!
Be careful if you watch any other reviews - some fanboys are running the memory for AMD's new cpus at a vast underclock (a channel that start with the letter J ran the memory at 2133 instead of 3200 for the AMD cpus). No doubt Intel bribed some of the other channels just like they did with Principled Technologies - make sure you don't trust info from sellouts. This channel as per usual is running the memory at AMD spec 3200 - thanks for the good info!
I'm always waiting for this guy to break out a surfboard.
Not an electric guitar? Dude doesn't strike me as a surfer in style, attitude, or level of tan.
Your intro is the ONLY intro I wish was longer. Love the graphic. Looks super crispy and shocking. Did you ever do a quick vid on it? For those of us that don't know anything about graphics or why yours looks super sharp where others look bland and grainy by comparison.
Nov 5, 2015 I bought a 6700k, it clocked well so I proceeded to de-lid W/liquid metal. Now I still run 4.7Ghz@1.45V (max vcore) 4.4ghz cache with 32gb B-die @ 15-15-15-28 3466Mhz, Core temps prime95 max heat goes up to 85°c on the hottest core. mid 40°c gaming. R15 X64 203 single and 1017 multi, I play games, use office like apps and BOTW on CEMU. I was hoping for better gaming performance on the 3600 and jump on the AMD bandwagon but right now on my 6700K Shadow of the tomb raider I get 134 avg@1080p and 107 avg@1440p with a 1080ti seahawk, maybe in another 4 years it will be worth to upgrade, but as it stands my 1080p score puts me a little behind the stock R5 3600 with an older graphics card.
Excellent review!! Thank you Steve!
Thank you for starting out with this, Steve! The others put up great reviews too, but really the bottom line is the middle line in this case.... You really are Tech Jesus coz you preach to the "poor". hahaha. (Not to say this is for poor people, but truthfully, not all of us would want to plop too much on the highest end pieces).
10:55 intel and AMD have their brands associated to certain colors. Intel is blue and AMD is known to be team red. So WTF? is intel red and AMD blue in this chart? #ColorCodeMatters
*facepalm* red state v blue state only became a thing in the 80's. Props they did this, even if not intentional, just to mess with people that make comments like yours LUL
The fact is, even 8 months later a review on the Ryzen 5 3600 gains attention whereas the poorly engineered, weak soldered IHS, no matter what color you want to associate, is back on their heels with no noticeable direction or change. What kills first in the survival of fittest? The ability to evolve and adapt.
I wonder if other reviewers control ALL the timings as well, probably not. Nice work!
You should really get an award for your coverage of this gen of ryzen, not just this video but the combined whole of all your work in regards to this release.
You could draw a regression thru the Frametime Graph and display the R^2 value for seeing the consistancy in value and compareable to other benchmarks.
I was thinking the same thing when watching the nvidia boost clock graph
can you explain the r^2 part?
@@ghostriley22 r^2 is the Coefficient of determination it says how much the Value-points differ from the Regression. if r^2 is close to 1 you can say that the values are more consistant.
@@manniot thanks for explaination!

Thats what i call profesionalls of IT....this channel is gold
Kudos ! Sourcing the 3600 and releasing a review FIRST whilst there are countless 3700X and 3900X dropping as embargo lifts. I am always more interested in i5/R5 performance anyway - thanks TEAM GN & Steve .
More praise shall be heaped on thee as you have quickly identified, especially on production content - why these are so darn good. Not only against i5 but r7 1700 and previous Ryzen benchmarks - AMD has unleashed the CACHE ! Identified and documented in this video. Am sure the higher end 3rd gen cpu stomp across the board , but catching the anomoly of 6 core matching and beating previous gen 8 core is fantastic.
Thanks AMD for rocking our world yet again - no incremental minimal increase refresh of the same performance over and over . RYZEN RULES !
I couldn't decide if I should watch Jay or Steve first...so I watched Linus's video first instead.
At this time, it's physically impossible anyone has watched the video from start to finish. Therefore, any comments about the 3600 must be forged and fake. Happy scrolling.
Steve sliding in with the only 3600 review in my subscriptions. Also, just got my tool kit in! =D
Nice video, good to see you included the security mitigations for meltdown etc.
Yeah, I have one in the mail already. When you're building for someone that would sell body parts for 30fps the 3600 is the way to go. Got the whole system including monitor and x570/5700xt for $1500. Could have gone cheaper but had to have a nice case. Compare to the cost of my 2700x system at $2100 without monitor a year ago when video and memory was almost double the price.
This is the first review I clicked on
