Intel has for some years offered CPUs that are better for gaming than AMD, due to strong clock speeds and single-core performance. But with the debut of the Ryzen family of CPUs, AMD has attracted more people to its hardware.
AMD’s Ryzen 5 3600X processor is showing up as a UserBenchmark and has proven excellent results in the speed tests. The upcoming Zen 2 chip of AMD has managed to zip past it’s rival Intel’s Core i7-8700K and Core i7-9700K.
Leaks and benchmarks are starting to fly in favor of AMD’s heralded Ryzen 3000 series of chips. Various stock keeping units have appeared on benchmarks lately, usually offering up interesting results, especially when the expected prices are also taken into consideration. The Ryzen 5 3600X, which should cost around US$250, has shown up on UserBenchmark and if the results are genuine, it will have desktop builders craving to use one of these budget-friendly beasts.
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X sample resulted 114% overall as the average bench, placing it in 13th position. The single-core, quad-core, and multi-core scores were all notable, at 143 points, 560 points, and 1,110 points, respectively. According to UserBenchmark listing, “This is an excellent result.” Of course, with just one sample so far tested, it’s important to be curious about the result. But it is still worthy to note that among many of the processors, the affordable Ryzen 5 3600X is currently rubbing shoulders with rivals and is at the top of the chart cost over US$1,000.
The established sample test scores for some Intel-produced competitors in this particular benchmark will surely amaze engineers over at AMD when compared with the new Zen 2 chip. For example, the 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 3600X is hovering just above the 8-core, 8-thread Core i7-9700K that scored similar results of 142 points (single-core), 559 points (quad-core), and 1,063 points (multi-core) in UserBenchmark’s tests. However, the processor from the Intel currently costs around US$400, making AMD’s chip a price-performance winner in this game.
Intel has long held the dominant share of the CPU market, but in the latest hardware survey, AMD is appeared to feast Intel’s position. What will be the future of the rivalry between the Red team and the Blue team?
