As shown in our full review, the Ryoffers tremendous value and will work on even the most basic B350/ B450 motherboards.

Both CPUs tend to overclock to similar levels, and the boost offers negligible performance advantages.

This small difference does not justify an extra $40+, but with the current different at just $25, you can really go either way.

At stock, we found the 3600X to offer a very mild performance increase (5% or less) compared to the vanilla 3600.

The Ryis the better choice at $175 for most people trying to save some money.

Having tested both R5 3600 models (see all of that further down below), here's the tale of the tape: The original $50 markup has been lowered since AMD released the CPUs in mid 2019. The base model R5 3600 currently comes in at $175, while the 3600X costs 14% more at $200. As such the 3600 gets the 65w Wraith Stealth and the 3600X the 95w Wraith Spire. The only other change in specification is the TDP, the R5 3600 is a 65 watt part and the 3600X a 95 watt part. The Rycomes clocked at 3.6 GHz for the base and 4.2 GHz for the boost, the 3600X runs 200 MHz faster at 3.8 GHz and 4.4 GHz, so a 6% base clock increase and a 5% boost clock increase. We're not into guessing games at TechSpot, so we've run some hard benchmarks to decide.īefore going into in-depth testing though, here's a quick run down in regards to how these two CPUs compare on paper.

Not for nothing this series of AMD processors have been our picks for the best all-round value since release and they're also among the best selling CPUs on Amazon. In short, it murders the 9600K in core-heavy productivity benchmarks and is right there for gaming, offering better 1% low performance often, all while costing notably less.īut without question the most popular question we received afterwards was: should you buy the Ryor the 3600X? We were among the first publications to review the Ryand at $200 we found the 6-core, 12-thread processor a crankin' good deal.
