The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 GHz / 4.2 GHz) is one of the first 7nm PC processors. With 6 cores and 12 threads, up to 4.2 GHz and 35 MB of GameCache, it is a versatile processor that lets you do everything quickly and smoothly.
6-Core 12-Threads socket AM4 GameCache 35 MB 7 nm TDP 65W (bulk version without fan - 3 years manufacturer warranty)
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.
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.
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.

This order (AMD Ryzen5 3600) went very smoothly from the website to receipt of the equipment: reliable information, secure payment, excellent follow-up, reliable packaging and operational product. Very professional.
Ah, the good old 3600! I bought it as part of a CM B450 + DDR4 memory kit on 31/12/19 and even four years later, it's still doing the job.
Irreproachable for multimedia and perfectly capable for 1080p gaming. It consumes next to nothing and does the job perfectly on a mini-ITX motherboard at a fraction of the cost of the Intel equivalent (Core i5 10400F + B560).
I assembled it on an AsRock B550M-ITX/AC, which already has a Vega graphics chipset in case the graphics card fails, as there is no graphics controller unlike the G version.
I'm familiar with the ventirad that was sold by default, the Wraith Stealth in the aforementioned kit, and I'm quite happy that it's being sold without it, as it's so inefficient in games. Assassin's Creed Odyssey made it crash when it exceeded 100°C. I opted for a Noctua NH-L9A-AM4 instead, and it runs smoothly at 60~70°C on HellDivers 2 in Low combined with an RTX 3050 at 60fps.
Buy to replace my old FX-6300, compiling packages under Gentoo-Linux is lightning fast. I can play games, run virtual machines, I'm happy.
Fast and careful delivery, top product! works perfectly!
Despite its age, it's still got it!
The RYZEN 5 3600, a processor with incredible value for money.
With 6 cores and a frequency starting at 3.6 GHZ, it's currently the cheapest and most powerful processor I've been able to find.
( currently at 77.95e ) on LDLC, and much more expensive elsewhere, it also remains more affordable than the Intel competitor.
