Description

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in July 2019. It uses the Zen 2 (Matisse) architecture with Socket AM4. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), the core-count is effectively doubled to 12 threads. Ryzen 5 3600 has 32 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.2 GHz, depending on the workload. It is made on a 7 nm production node using 3,800 million transistors. The silicon die is fabricated at TSMC. The unlocked multiplier simplifies overclocking, allowing easy adjustment to any frequency.
