As the release date of the 7nm Ryzen 3000 desktop processors approaches, there is more and more encouraging information on the network that the performance of these new products will allow them to successfully compete with Intel processors. The first such statements were made by AMD itself, at a presentation during Computex, several examples of how the 12-core and 8-core Ryzen 9 3900X, Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 7 3700X outperform current Intel offerings with the same number of cores in rendering tasks. And now independent evidence has begun to emerge that the six-core Ryzen 5 3600 looks at least as good as the Core i7-8700K in terms of performance.
The performance level information for the Ryzen 5 3600 does not come from AMD itself. Earlier it became known that engineering samples of the Ryzen 5 3600, which is the youngest representative of the Ryzen 3000 lineup, were made available to AMD partners involved in assembling computers. As a result of this, the “semi-legal” publication of the preliminary results of their tests took place.
It is worth recalling that the Ryzen 5 3600 is the youngest six-core twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture, with an operating frequency range of 3,6-4,2 GHz and a 3 MB L32 cache. The cost of such an offer, according to official information, should be $199.
The performance metrics of this processor recently appeared in the Geekbench database - there it is found at least Ryzen 5 3600, received both in a system with a motherboard based on the new X570 logic set, and in an old platform built on the ASUS Prime X470-PRO board.

The results are almost the same and indicate that the Ryzen 5 3600 is capable of 5350-5400 points in a single-threaded test, and 26-000 points in a multi-threaded test. And this means that the multi-threaded performance of AMD's new junior six-core processor is higher than that of the Core i27-000K, the older version in the Coffee Lake model range of the late 7 model.
Typical Geekbench scores for the Core i7-8700K are 5670 and 23 in the single-threaded and multi-threaded test, respectively, which means that in terms of multi-threaded performance, the Ryzen 400 5 is 3600% faster. In addition, one cannot fail to notice the impressive 15% advantage of the Ryzen 30 5 over the previous junior AMD six-core, Ryzen 3600 5, which scored 2600 and 4500 points in Geekbench. However, while the new Zen 20 microarchitecture, doubling the L500 cache, and higher frequencies make the Ryzen 2 3 look impressive in Geekbench, it still lags behind modern Intel processors in single-threaded performance.
In addition, the results of the Ryzen 5 3600, which has not yet been released, can also be found in the database of another test - . In it, this processor receives a rating of 103%, which means it roughly matches the Core i7-8700 in terms of integrated performance.
However, if we talk about single-threaded performance, then a result close to that of the Ryzen 5 3600 is found in the Core i5-8600 or Core i5-9400. But it still looks very intriguing. After all, if we rely on Geekbench and Userbenchmark data, we can conclude that AMD as a whole managed to raise the specific performance of the Ryzen 3000 to the level of the latest generation Intel processors.
The start of sales of Ryzen 3000 desktop processors, as well as the publication of their independent reviews, is scheduled for July 7th.
