AMD Ryzen 5 3000 Series Lineup Detailed
AMD at its 2019 Computex keynote unveiled its Ryzen 3000 series desktop processors with the more glamorous Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 SKUs while glossing over its more high-volume Ryzen 5 3000 series. It turns out that AMD will launch even these chips on the 7th of July. The Ryzen 5 lineup includes the 3600X and 3600. Both these chips are 6-core/12-thread, and AMD is taking the fight to Intel's 9th generation Core i5 series by not touching the core-count and instead focusing on higher IPC and clock-speeds than Intel's offerings.
The Ryzen 5 3600X ticks at 3.80 GHz, with a boost frequency of 4.40 GHz, which is among the highest in the lineup. Its TDP is rated at 95W. The Ryzen 5 3600 is the 'cooler' offering of the two, with 3.60 GHz nominal and 4.20 GHz boost clocks, and 65W TDP. You get the same 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, as the 8-core Ryzen 7 series offerings. AMD is expected to price the two along expected lines, with the 3600X going for roughly USD $239, and the 3600 at $199.

Single-thread boost clocks:
9700K 4.9 GHz
3700X 4.4 GHz +1%
9900K 5.0 GHz +2%
3800X 4.5 GHz +3%
I'm currently running an i7 4770k, after being a loyal Intel customer for more than 12 years. Not any longer, especially as I've lost more than 20% (nearly a whole CPU core) of the IPC my CPU can give, due to Intel's security leaks. Intel offers nothing that is competitive for my wallet.
I, for one, are looking forward to jumping ship.
What is 3800x core config? 8c or 10c?
The bunch of graphs on the left are single-core results (supposedly with maxed boost clocks).
Although I just checked 2700x vs 9900k and tpu shows 9900k only 5 percent faster,that'd make 3800x 8 percent faster than 2700x
3700X with 9700K and 3800X with 9900K gaming performance for less power consumption and $100 cheaper, that is very very nice.

The two 8C is farther apart than the 12C and the 16C, in numbers. It should have been 3700X & 3750X, 3800X, and 3900X.
Yeah, I don't really care that much, the performance is more important, but still, it's kind of weird.
Also just to clear things up, single core might have one or 2 threads due to hyperthreading or smt, application like the example i gave above, simcity 4 will take just one thread to work with so, hyperthreading wont help it and in many cases will make it worse cause the thread performance has resources shared between the threads, reason why i applaud 9700k, I have no idea how is done on amd, with popularity growing on amd, I hope if they dont have a way yet, a function to disable smt altogether, i really think I should have the choice to choose if I want smt or not.
