Ryzen 5 3500 vs Ryzen 5 3600X specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3600X beats the Ryzen 5 3500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3500 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3500. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen 5 3600X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Ryzen 5 3600X also has significantly more L3 cache.
Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
