AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT CPU Review – 4.6GHz OC!

7-Zip Decompressing

7-Zip decompressing delivers another small but meaningful performance improvement of 4.5% as measured for the 3600XT over its 3600X sibling. Of course, this is also well out of line with the current increase in actual cost of more than 10%. Versus the i5-10600K, the 3600XT delivers an even stronger performance lead of 21%, albeit in this test that is favourable for Zen 2.

Overclocking the 3600XT to 4.6GHz increases performance by 8.5% which closes the gap to Intel’s vastly more expensive stock clocked 10700K but does little to challenge the strong Ryzen 7 3700X.

7-Zip Compressing

The same 4.5% performance gain for the 3600XT over the 3600X is observed in 7-Zip’s compressing test. Intel’s competing Core i5-10600K fairs a little better in this compressing test but the Ryzen 5 3600XT is still 7% higher performance.

Overclocking to 4.6GHz this time delivers a small gain for the Ryzen 5 3600XT processor. The roughly 20% more expensive eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X is a little over 20% higher performance. Seems fair in this instance.
