Debuting in 2019 in the BOX configuration (with cooler), it belongs to the Ryzen 5 Matisse Zen 2 lineup, which combines AMD solutions crafted with a 7nm process. The "engine" is positioned as a mid-level solution. Thanks to SMT technology, each of the cores supports multithreading, making it possible for the 6-core CPU to execute up to 12 command threads simultaneously.
The clock speed of the AMD 3600 BOX processor is 3.6 GHz, with the ability to automatically boost to 4.2 GHz during increased loads and for safe user overclocking. This is made possible by the unlocked multiplier. Basic heat emission figures are modest (up to 65 W), which does not impose high demands on the cooling system. Good upgrade potential is provided by both the current AM4 socket and compatibility with DDR4 format RAM with a maximum frequency of up to 3200 MHz.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

The Ryzen 5 3600 BOX gets very hot with the stock cooler at 4.2 GHz, personally, it reached up to 99 degrees in a stress test, but in games it didn't go above 80. The processor might throttle, so I recommend getting the OEM version and purchasing a cooler with heat pipes. (The thermal paste from the factory may be of poor quality) high performance, with the RX580 processor being sufficient; the emphasis is everywhere on the graphics card. high temperature with stock cooler and factory thermal paste  Igor: use AMD 3600 BOX less than month |
Excellent processor, under load 30%!!!! For my needs, everything I need. Equipment Boxed cooler (Terrible, it’s certainly not an Intel cooler for 150 rubles, but still)  Nikita: use AMD 3600 BOX few months |
Good for work, BUT sometimes it FREEZES (lags) occasionally, especially when watching YouTube. Although after a month of use, it STOPPED. Maybe it was just adjusting or something else. Works fine overall, but SOMETIMES stutters in games. The box cooler is VERY noisy under CPU load (((( Maryan: use AMD 3600 BOX few months |

The Fab Five
The Ryzen 5 3600 is currently the youngest member of the AMD Matisse 7nm processor family (while the even more economical 3200G and 3400G hybrid processors belong to the 12nm Raven Ridge family). The 3600 has six physical cores of the Zen 2 architecture and twelve virtual SMT threads, as well as a little, no small amount, 32 MB of L3 cache.
Multithreading and single threading
The frequency formula of the Ryzen 5 3600 is 3.6 – 4.1 GHz. The first number means the base, that is, the guaranteed frequency for all cores, and the second — the maximum frequency of auto-overclocking when only one core is loaded. Most of the time, the frequency is kept somewhere in the middle — 3.8 – 3.9 GHz. A simple cooler is supplied with the boxed version of the processor, but it is not enough to even boost the processor to the maximum, not to mention manual overclocking.
Can be overclocked
The unlocked multiplier allows you to raise the frequency of the Ryzen 5 3600 to the level of $ 50 more expensive 3600X or even slightly higher (up to 4.2 – 4.3 GHz on all cores). But only if you have a motherboard with good power stabilization (Load-Line Calibration), and these are usually mid-price and flagship models based on the X570 chipset.
Progress on the face
Definitely, AMD Ryzen 5 3600 was a success. The increased number of instructions processed per cycle compared to Zen +, as well as an increase in the frequency of several hundred megahertz, led to the fact that the newcomer is faster than its predecessor 2600 by about a quarter. Well, in the future, if desired, it will be possible to upgrade to a twice as powerful Ryzen 9 3900X with twelve cores and twenty-four threads.
