Ryzen 5 3600X vs Ryzen Threadripper 1900X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X is faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 3600X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3600X has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600X. According to our data, the Ryzen 5 3600X and Ryzen Threadripper 1900X have the same clock speed. A Ryzen 5 3600X CPU outputs less heat than a Ryzen Threadripper 1900X CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3600X. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3600X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
