The CPU I chose delivers impressive performance and has significantly improved my computing experience. However, it runs a bit hot during heavy tasks, which requires careful cooling.
I'm quite satisfied with the CPU's capabilities. It handles tasks efficiently and effectively. However, it can be a bit power-hungry, which affects energy efficiency.
The CPU has met my performance expectations, making it a worthwhile addition to my setup. On the downside, it tends to throttle under heavy loads, affecting its consistent performance.
I'm happy with the CPU's performance, which has positively impacted my daily computing tasks. Nevertheless, it lacks integrated graphics, which might inconvenience users who rely on them.
AMD is preparing two variants for market, the Ryzen 5 3500X & the Ryzen 5 3500. Both processors feature 6 cores and 6 threads which means that there won’t be multi-threading support on either chip, however, given their price point and the market they are aiming, a cut-down core configuration is expected. As such, these would be the first Ryzen 3000 parts with no multi-threading support. Starting off with the AMD Ryzen 5 3500X, we are looking at a base clock of 3.6 GHz and a boost clock of 4.1 GHz. The processor features 32 MB of cache, a 65W TDP. In official slides posted by BullsLab, the chip comes with 24 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, support for 3200 MHz memory and we also get to take a look at some performance benchmarks where the chip is highly competitive.
