Outdated Product
The six-core processor representing AMD's Ryzen 5 Matisse line belongs to solutions with the new Zen 2 architecture. It is created on an advanced 7 nm process technology, as for 2019, and provides an AM4 design that is compatible with both motherboards offered on the market for a long time boards, as well as new solutions based on the X570 chipset. The AMD 3600X BOX processor supports multi-threading (implemented using SMT technology), which allows up to 12 instruction streams to be executed simultaneously. The clock frequency of each of the cores in normal operation is 3.8 GHz, which is 200 MHz higher than the capabilities of the related "engine" 3600 BOX. Both dynamic auto-overclocking (up to 4.4 GHz) and an unlocked multiplier, which opens up the possibility of safe user frequency chang...es, allow you to increase performance. The presence of 32 MB of cache memory of the third level (35 MB in total) and support for DDR4 3200 MHz RAM will positively affect the performance of the system.

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.

Great processor
29 March 2021 
I'm not really knowledgeable about hardware; I bought it based on flattering reviews and online overviews.

The main task for my PC is gaming. None of the games on ultra settings managed to load even at 50%, and I played all the "top" games, except for Cyberpunk for now.

The CPU works paired with 16GB 3800 Mhz RAM on an MSI B550 Gaming Plus motherboard. The cooler is stock, straight out of the box, and cools acceptably; I haven't seen it go above 70°C. I don't plan to overclock.

p.s. The thermal paste from the box is applied poorly, so be sure to apply your own; otherwise, you'll have a heater.

Cheers to all and 100fps!

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

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.

Natural selection

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is a senior twelve-thread processor based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture. It has a more “aggressive” frequency formula than the younger brother AMD 3600: 3.8 – 4.4 versus 3.6 – 4.2 GHz. This is achieved by manually selecting the most successful CCD chiplets from the batch, as well as by increasing the supply voltage to about 1.3 V and, as a result, power consumption and heating up to 95 W (against 65 W for the 3600).

copper heart

Fortunately, the Ryzen 5 3600X has a better boxed cooler: not a miniature all-aluminium Wrath Stealth, but a mid-sized Wrath Stealth with a copper core. This allows Precision Boost 2 technology to automatically overclock the processor across all cores to a frequency of 4.0 – 4.1 GHz. Taking into account the increased IPC (instructions per clock) and doubled cache (32 vs. 16 MB), the advantage over the previous Ryzen 5 2600X on the 12nm Zen + architecture is 25 percent.

Home overclocking

In the case of using a large tower cooler or a two-section dropsy, as well as a motherboard with support for Load-Line Calibration technology, the Ryzen 5 3600X can be manually forced to work stably at a frequency of 4.3 – 4.4 GHz across all cores. Whereas processors with numerous cores, such as the sixteen-thread AMD 3700X, are usually not able to achieve such high home overclocking results. The same goes for the younger Ryzen 5 3500, which often uses less successful chiplets.

Honorary record holder

It turns out that the 3600X is actually AMD's highest clocked processor at the moment and is best suited for gaming for that reason. The only weak point of AMD processors is the RAM controller, which in the case of Matisse is also placed in a separate IOD chiplet. Because of this, the latency (latency) of DDR4 3600 MHz memory is as much as 70 ns, while competing Intel Cores have only 50 ms. However, Ryzen Matisse more than compensate for this with twice the faster L3 cache.
