AMD Ryzen 5 3500X Review
If you haven't heard of the Ryzen 3500X processor, the reason is that it was sold to users or manufacturers, depending on your country of residence. At first, it was said that it was available exclusively for computer manufacturers in China. Then, the processor appeared in other regions, like India, Russia, or Turkey. In the end, it turned out that you can buy the 3500X everywhere, although prices may vary from region to region. In China, the processor is sold as a regular retail product in a box and with a cooler included. In Australia, you can buy the 3500X only in assembled computers. Yet, the availability may still change as it did before.
AMD Ryzen 5 3500X Specifications
The R5 3500X is, of course, a slightly more developed version of the AMD R5 3500. Therefore, their main specifications are pretty close to one another. Thus, this is a 6-core and 6-thread processor operating on a base clock frequency of 3.6 GHz, and the max boost frequency is up to 4.2 GHz. One of its key shortcomings is the lack of multi-threading (SMT). However, it has received an attractive price tag and can be a good replacement for the previous generation Ryzen 5 2600, in terms of price/performance. It has some advantages like having Zen 2 microarchitecture. It is also important to note that the Ryzen 5 3500X comes with the effective Precision Boost 2 technology, which allows a smooth and stable boost when required.
