34AMD readied its 4th gen Ryzen processors with the Zen 3 architecture and as you would expect, the most interesting processor from the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs is the Ryzen 5 5600X.
We all remember how good were the Ryzen 5 3600X and 3600(Non-X) when it was launched, beating Intel and previous AMD processors from all sides for a price of $200-$250. Although the 3600(Non-X) version became more popular due to lower price for a little slower clock speeds, the 3600X can still be counted among the top-performing processors till today.
With 5600X emerging as the new hero, you should know the differences and similarities between Ryzen 5600X and 3600X.
AMD’s Ryzen 3600X features 6 cores and 12 threads with clock speeds of 3.8/4.4GHz as base/boost clock. Total L3 cache memory on it is 32MB and its TDP is set to 95W.
AMD right now decided to stick with the same type of configuration for its Zen 3 based Ryzen 5600X and features same 6 cores and 12 threads. Core clocks are a little different with 100MHz less on the base clock and 200MHz more on the boost clock as compared to 3600X.
The cache memory is also exactly the same while TDP has been reduced to 65W.
Both of them are compatible with the AM4 socket and can be used with a B550, X470, or X570 chipset motherboard although the 3600X box is compatible with older chipsets also. These are A320, B450, B350, and X370.
