Moving on to our CPU tests, we placed as we expected within our Cinebench R15 and R20 results with our Ryzen 5 3600. Time taken to render our BMW CPU test within Blender was 238 seconds, which is also what we were expecting. PCMark 10 did place the Behemoth last but if you look closer, it's really not far behind the Ryzen 7 system that pipped it to the post.
Looking at our memory benchmark does show us a huge dip in write speed performance. If you’ve seen my recent review of the Box.co.uk CUBE system then you’ll see that also had write issues within AIDA64, the chart shows that here but there is a reason. Zen 2 systems with 8 cores and below have roughly a single write path and that gives them half the write speed of their 12-core and above brothers, which have two write paths and normal write speeds. It’s perfectly normal for the 8 core and lower Zen 2 chips to get these results and doesn't really affect real world performance all that much in general. So, don’t worry too much about that score there.
Running our SSD through CrystalDiskMark benchmarking did show a depressing write speed, dropping all the way down to 900MB/s while our read speeds remained high. That is disappointing, but for real world gaming we can't say we noticed it causing any problems.
