Now moving to the performance section, the Ryzen 5 3600 has been spotted in two benchmarks databases, Geekbench & UserBenchmark. There’s also one specific gaming benchmark that has been posted by Chiphell forum members but we will first focus our attention towards the more CPU centric benchmarks and see how the next-generation Ryzen 5 fairs against its competitors & predecessors based on Zen/Zen+ cores.
First of all, we are going to take a look at the Geekbench V4 scores (via TUM APISAK) which so far include two entries. One entry is performed on an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus motherboard while the other has been done on the ASUS Prime X470-PRO motherboard. Both yield a different score than each other due to different system configuration but the single and multi-thread scores are pretty much similar in both cases. The X570 configuration scores 5390 points in single-core & 26371 points in multi-score points while the X470 configuration scores 5358 points in single core and 27485 points in the multi-score section of the benchmark.

For comparison, the Ryzen 7 1800X scores on an average 4400 points in single and 24000 points in multi-core benchmarks, the 8700K scores an average 5400 points in single and 25000 points in the multi-core benchmarks while the Ryzen 5 2600 scores around 4700 points in single & 23000 points in multi-core benchmarks. The performance increase over Zen and Zen+ based chips is just stellar while the chip at its given price points should give the Core i7-8700K and the Core i7-9700K a hard time in the market.

Moving on, we have various entries of the Ryzen 5 3600 in User Benchmark which shows that the Zen 2 has some serious IPC advantage over Coffee Lake processors. When compared to a 7700K, the chip that was the flagship of the Kaby Lake lineup, the Ryzen 5 shows a 7% IPC lead as found out by Reddit user Teh_Hammer.

• 3600 @ 4.05ghz = 134.
• A 7700k @ 5.1 gets a 157.
• 157 / 5.1 * 4.05 = ~125.

That means Zen 2 has a ~7% advantage in IPC in this specific (single threaded) benchmark (if the single threaded turbo actually was 4.05GHz).
