Overview

Uncompromised performance for all

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor (3.6 GHz / 4.2 GHz) is one of the first PC processors to be etched in 7 nm and to support the PCIe 4.0 interface. The third-generation Ryzen, codenamed Matisse, impresses with 6 cores and 12 threads, a base frequency of 3.6 GHz that can be increased to 4.2 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache and only 65W of TDP!

AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 offers a (re)discovery of high-end performance for gaming, content creation and intensive multitasking. With its 12 threads and a 35MB GameCache, double the cache offered by the second generation Ryzen 5, it allows you to do EVERYTHING faster and more fluidly.

Zen 2 Microarchitecture

The Zen 2 cores are designed to make efficient use of available resources to optimise computational performance. Compared to the previous architecture, 2X floating point capabilities and up to 15% higher instructions per cycle enable performance to reach new thresholds. Zen 2 combines performance for next-generation applications with optimal energy efficiency.

6 native cores and 12 logical cores

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 desktop processor offers 6 native and 12 logical cores for smooth multitasking. Thanks to its high native frequency and its Turbo Core mode, the third-generation AMD Ryzen CPU delivers exceptional performance in gaming, intensive multitasking, video editing, 3D modeling and more. The 32MB L3 cache also enables ultra-fast processing of large numbers of instructions with low latency.

    High-performance processor

    High-performance processor, all the silicon is used for computing, no integrated GPU, no fan included in the packaging. Pure computing power.
    And incidentally, very good value for money.

    Perfect for small configurations

    Ryzen 5 3600 coupled with an RTX 2060 I run all my games with pleasant quality, there is not too big a difference with the next generation cpu (unless you want to play in 4K or 240fps constant).

    **WARNING**
    CPU in basic setting heats up too much with any ventirad, I strongly advise you to undervolve it on the "Ryzen Master" software.

    My settings : 4,0Ghz all cores
    Voltage (in volts): 1.03125
    Does not exceed 70°C even in stress test and on cyberpunk2077 in ultra
