Our recent PC build, one of the powerful PC yet.

The successor to our favorite best value CPU, the Ryzen 5 3600 is AMD’s priced at 17k approx/, 6-core, 12-thread processor. The chip clocks between 3.6 GHz and 4.45 GHz, features a 32MB L3 cache and a 65 watt TDP. Included in the package is the Wraith Stealth cooler and a MSRP that matches the price the R5 2600.

Direct competition for the R5 3600 should come from Intel’s expensive 9600K. It costs 20k  approx/ and doesn’t include a box cooler, so it’s not the exact match we were going for, but it will be interesting to see how they stack in terms of raw power.
