AMD® Ryzen™ 5 3600XT

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Zen 2 architecture (7 nm process). It launched in Jul 2020. Clocks run from 3.8 GHz base to 4.5 GHz boost. A 32-MB L3 cache backs the cores (5.9 MB per core). It supports DDR4 memory. The chip drops into the AM4 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (24 lanes). Rated TDP is 95 W. Notable platform capabilities: AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization).

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 2,746 in single-core performance and 18,501 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,128 for overall performance, 15,870 for productivity performance, 15,118 for creator performance, 18,385 for engineering performance and 12,863 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,084 per core, 1,542 per thread and 195 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 731. Its performance index is 88, so its overall performance is 12% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 51,181 in integer math, 30,067 in floating-point math, 230,008 in compression, 14,560 in cryptography, 1,204 in physics simulation, 14,559 in vector SIMD, 113 in the prime sieve and 24,829 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 13% below in integer math, 34% below in floating-point math, 1% above in compression, 27% above in cryptography, 10% above in physics simulation, 6% below in vector SIMD, 69% above in the prime sieve and 10% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 4.50 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 family, uses the Zen 2 architecture, carries the codename Matisse and is manufactured on a 7 nm process. It launched in Jul 2020.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT has 384 KB of L1 cache, 3 MB of L2 cache and 32 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 35.4 MB of cache, or 5.90 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 3 MB and L3 at 32 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 90% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT supports DDR4 memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 3,200 MT/s and delivers up to 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT uses the AM4 socket, supports PCI Express 4.0 and provides up to 24 PCIe lanes.

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT has a rated TDP of 95 W.
