[h=4]Pros[/h]
  • Less expensive
  • 6 cores / 12 threads
  • Stock cooler
[h=4]Cons[/h]
  • Less performance
The Ryzen 5 3600X is a little more down to Earth than the Ryzen 3 900X and is vastly more affordable, making it quite the processor for most gaming rigs and workstations. When you don't need a mass of cores and threads, this CPU will be more than happy to play your favorite games and render all your media.
