Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 5 Matisse series, including models like the 3600, 3600X, and 3500X, is highly praised for its excellent price-to-performance ratio, making it a popular choice for both gaming and productivity tasks. Users appreciate its 6-core, 12-thread configuration, which provides strong performance in various applications. The processors are noted for their cool operation under normal conditions, though some users recommend upgrading the stock cooler for better thermal management, especially during overclocking. The 7nm process technology contributes to its efficiency, although some users report temperature fluctuations. The series is also recognized for its compatibility with affordable motherboards and support for high RAM frequencies. While some users have experienced issues with the memory controller and cooling, the overall consensus is that the Ryzen 5 Matisse offers great value for its price, particularly for those upgrading from older platforms. However, potential buyers are advised to consider current pricing and alternatives like the Ryzen 5600X for future-proofing.

the 3500x is the same as the 3600, just without the multithreading. A good little chip.

awesome processor. It's been working great for 7 months already. Handles almost everything at max settings. After the FX, this one is simply top-notch for its price.
65W )) not a crematorium.. 32mb L3
too many streams(((( Eh( it's not there....
Ryzen 5 3600 - the first door to upgrade from older platforms)
30 June 2023 
Passed from platform 1155 (xeon e3-1235), system performance - heaven and earth. I took the ASUS Prime B450M-K II motherboard and the 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (3200 MHz) kit. Truly a people's processor in terms of price / quality ratio. According to tests in games, it is at the level of 5500. For home purposes, it is enough for the eyes even without overclocking. Bios did not need to be updated.
Productivity in the price / quality ratio; cheap motherboards for AM4; without overclocking with good cooling, it practically does not heat up
After the old e3-1235 (i7-2600) just heaven and earth, no flaws

Decent budget CPU, cool enough

I bought the OEM version in August 2020, installed an almost new CROWN MICRO CM-4 on top, for 900 rubles at the time of purchase (set it and forget it). Almost new, because I bought it half a year earlier, for old hardware on AM2. As a result, the maximum I saw was 75 degrees, and then at its peak. Usually 65
Very cool and quite efficient
The price has gone up... I bought it for 11 thousand rubles.

Ryzen 5 3600 alternative

Given the wild popularity of the Ryzen 5 3600, its prices are not going to come down. On the contrary, compared to the beginning of last year, they even increased, and at the beginning of 2021, most stores are asking for almost $300 for it. In principle, the price is fair, but the status of the "people's" processor, as it was with the Ryzen 5 2600, does not smell here. But if the plan is to build a system based on the Zen 2 core (or Ryzen Matisse), then the younger Matisse 3500X can be an excellent plan B.

The same 6 cores, only without multithreading

It boasts the same six cores, unlocked multiplier, factory overclocking, and the same 32MB L3 cache. The only difference is that the Ryzen 5 3500X does not have additional virtual cores. The operating frequencies of the cores start at 3.6 and, if necessary, can rise to 4.1 GHz. Thanks to the unlocked multiplier, the operating frequencies can be raised a little more, reaching the same 4.2 GHz as the older Ryzen 5 3600X. And even a little higher. However you can’t catch up with much here, since the Matisse line is not strong in overclocking, almost all the juices were squeezed out of it at the production stage. If you still decide to overclock, be sure to take care of a high-quality cooling system (the OEM version does not have a cooler at all) and an appropriate motherboard with a good power subsystem and a VRM heatsink, which can fully reveal the capabilities of this processor.

Successfully successful

In general, the Ryzen 5 3500X was a success. For just $150, you get an optimal gaming (and not only) six-core processor with a classic AM4 socket and all the latest AMD developments on board, such as support for fourth-generation PCI-E lanes. Thanks to the increased number of Zen + cores and the added cache in most games and many resource-intensive applications, it outperforms another popular Ryzen 2600 processor by 10 – 12%. The lag behind the older Ryzen 5 3600 in heavy rendering and compilation tasks usually does not exceed 20%. As for gaming tests and comparison with Intel, here the red Ryzen is just a little behind the Core i5-9400F, but at the same time it easily levels this difference due to manual overclocking, which Intel simply does not have. Given all that has been said, we would recommend buying this particular option, and not the familiar Ryzen 5 2600X.
