It wasn’t the fastest option in the list, but the Ryzen 5 5600X3D did beat the Ryzen 7 5700X for a change, as well as the Ryzen 5 7800X3D and several others.

This is expected given the specifications, but we also noticed that the 5800X draws up to 145W while reaching those higher clock speeds, while the 5800X3D only peaks around 120W.Additionally, the 3600's memory controller, although significantly improved over previous Ryzen iterations, still has limited bandwidth and high latency which adversely impacts gaming. If there's people that has access to the 5600X3D and was trying to hold out for AM5, well, this CPU may just give them a few more years of not needing an upgrade at all? If you want to prioritize performance in high framerate gaming (competitive settings, low resolution), go for the X3D. The higher TDP doesn’t help in lightly threaded work, though, as the 5600X3D’s lower single-core boost frequency significantly hampers performance in single-threaded work, giving the 5600X a 9% lead. From the article: "sources close to the matter tell us these chips were “purpose-built” to be launched as Ryzen 5 5600X3D parts.

These imperfect chips may not quite have been fast enough to pass for Ryzen 7 5800X3D processors, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t functional enough to be marketed as something else, like the Ryzen 5 5600X3D. If the 5600X3D performs as expected, that would yield an impressive fps-per-dollar metric that easily outstrips a system built around the Core i5-13400, despite their similar pricing. They will be cheaper than a CPU + Graphics card for similar performance, at least up to mid-range levels. Here we can see the geometric mean of the gaming performance of the relevant competing processors from our CPU benchmarks hierarchy. AMD’s AM4 platform has soldiered on for six years, but it continues to offer a strong value proposition for lower-end systems, primarily due to its support for value-centric DDR4 memory, and AMD plans to continue supporting the platform for budget-geared systems.I would like the 5600X3D for its large VRAM cache, but worry about temps, especially if I recycle and reuse the AMD Wraith Prism cooler. com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-review/3 We used a Corsair H115i 280mm AIO with the fans cranked to 100% to keep the chips as cool as possible during this test run.

The Ryzen 5 5600X3D also performed slightly better than the Ryzen 7 5700X in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Total War: Three Kingdoms, and Tomb Raider, but it fell behind in Bioshock: Infinite. oofdragon said:Just to remember, they are not making these chips but recycling defective 5800X3D, so the exclusivety is due to really having little to sell. OS Support: Windows 11 - 64-Bit Edition, Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition, RHEL x86 64-Bit, Ubuntu x86 64-Bit. The biggest difference between the two is that the Ryzen 5 5600X3D has just six CPU cores, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has eight.AMD literally went from single digit to 25%+ market share by offering a very upgradable and cost effective platform. AMD and Micro Center haven’t shared performance benchmarks, but we can spitball gaming performance based on the Ryzen 5 5600X3D’s clock speeds, core count, and similar amount of 3D V-Cache to what we see on the 5800X3D. The Ryzen 7 5700X didn’t perform quite as well in games as the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, but the Core i5-12600K and Ryzen 5 7600 were both highly competitive against the Ryzen 5 5600X3D in games and ran circles around it in processor tests.

Consoles are guaranteed sales because of a large dedicated fan base, regardless of the hardware that's in them.Looking at a review for DeepCool's AK500, a mid-rangeish air cooler, considering it's able to cool 200W and 140W power profiles almost as good as an AIO (the only test it seems to fail is 200W 50% fan speed), I'm pretty sure you don't need a 280mm AIO water cooler for this CPU. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.
