Cinebench R20
Cinebench R20 all-core testing sees the higher boost clocks for the 3600XT deliver a performance gain of 4% over the 3600X. The new XT chip is also 9% quicker than the stock-clocked and more expensive Core i5-10600K.
Overclocking the 3600XT to 4.6GHz delivers an 8% performance uplift over its stock result. However, the 20% more expensive stock clocked Ryzen 7 3700X still delivers a 17% performance improvement over even the heavily overclocked Ryzen 5 3600XT.
Excellent boost clock behaviour with averaged actual core clocks of around 4.55GHz allows the stock 3600XT to deliver strong Cinebench 1T performance. This is a sizeable improvement over our early sample 3600X that is not particularly strong in terms of boost behaviour.
A manual overclock to 4.6GHz delivers a strong gain thanks to this tuning configuration’s higher operating frequency than stock boost clocks. Only the stock clocked Ryzen 7 3800XT and its real averaged boost clocks just above 4.6GHz offer higher Cinebench 1T performance.
Blender Classroom Benchmark
Stock versus stock, the 3600XT delivers a 31 second render time reduction versus our 3600X. That is a solid performance improvement on the circa-700 second render time of these Zen 2 six cores. The performance improvement for the 3600XT versus Intel’s six-core hyper-threaded i5-10600K is even stronger at 85 seconds time reduction.
Overclocking the 3600XT to 4.6GHz delivers a strong performance improvement but the render time is a still a chart gap away from the Zen 2 8-core 3700X that is albeit around £50 more expensive.
