Today I want to make a comparison of two completely different processors for you is Ryzen 5 3600 and Xeon E5 2690V3.

To begin with, let's figure out what Ryzen 5 3600 is.

Ryzen 5 3600 is a desktop processor based on the AM4 socket, this processor was released on 07/07/2019, at one time it was the most recognizable processor and had good indicators for an acceptable price.

Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6 nuclear and 12-stream processor with a stock frequency of 3.6GHZ, this processor has the volume of a third level of the third level of the 32 MB of the second level 3 MB, the volume of the first-level cache memory is 384 KB. TDP of this processor is funny 65 W and the maximum processor temperature is 95 degrees. This processor was created at 7 NM processor.

Also, this processor works with RAM DDR 4 with a frequency of 3200 MHz and the number of memory channels is 2. Ryzen 5 3600 has a good accelerated potential, because its maximum frequency is 4.2GHZ.

Now let's figure out what Xeon is, for comparison I have chosen Xeon E5 2690V3.

Xeon E5 2690V3 is a server processor based on the LGA 2011-3 socket, this processor was released back in 2014.

Xeon E5 2690V3 is a 12 nuclear 24-stream processor with a stock frequency of 2.6 GHZ, this processor has the volume of the third-level cache at 30 MB. TDP is not small 135 W and the maximum temperature is 90 degrees. This processor was created at 22 NM technology processor.

Also, this processor works with RAM DDR 4 with a frequency of 2133 MHz and the number of memory channels is 4. The Xeon E5 2690V3 does not have any acceleration potential since its multiplier is blocked, the processor has a turbo-boust that allows it to raise frequencies to 3, 5 GHZ.

Let's move on to comparing these processors.

Perhaps we start with the price, currently the cost of Ryzen 5 3600 is $ 260 and the price of Xeon E5 2690 V3 103 $. It is also worth considering that the Ryzen 5 3600 is a desktop processor A Xeon E5 2690V3 is a server processor and the question immediately arises of how to compare the server and desktop, but believe me, a huge number of people use server processors for computer games. Compare the age of this processors Ryzen 5 3600 was released in 2019 and the Xeon E5 2690V3 was released as much as 8 years ago in 2014, it seems that new technologies are properly exceeding older ones, because even the process of Ryzen 5 3600 7 NM and in XEON E5 2690V3 AZH 22 nm. Now we compare the number of nuclei and Ryzen 5 3600 streams has 6 cores and 12 flows and Xeon E5 2690V3 has 12 nuclei and 24 streams and our old man goes around his opponent in this, but in the frequency of nuclei he loses, because the stock frequency of Ryzen 5 3600 is 3, 3600 is 3, it is 3, it is 3, 6 GHZ A has a 2.6 GHZ frequency of 2.6 GHZ, even in the Xeon E5 2690V3 turbo boost does not catch up with its opponent, because its frequency will be 3.5 GHZ and Ryzen 5 3600 will be 4.2 GHZ in the boost. Compare the TDP of these processors in Xeon E5 2690V3 it is not small 135 W and in Ryzen 5 3600 it is 65 W, which suggests that cooling Ryzen 5 3600 is much easier.

Let's move on to the tests, the first test for these processors will be Passmark and this is what I got, Xeon E5 2690V3 scored 16385 points A Ryzen 5 3600 17826 points, which is 8.8% more. The next test for our processors will be the Geekbench 5 Single-Core and, according to the results of the Xeon E5 2690V3, scored 817 points A Ryzen 5 3600 scored 1205 points, which was 47.5 % more, then I conducted a test in the Geekbench 5 Multi-Core and received these The results, Xeon E5 2690V3 scored 8571 balls and Ryzen 5 3600 scored 6662 points, which is 28.7 % less. The total performance in tests showed a difference of 8.8% towards Ryzen 5 3600.

Then I played tests in games, the first game for the test was Counter Strike Global Offensive and Ryzen 5 3600 showed itself 12.5 % more manufacturing, then I conducted a test in GTA V and Ryzen 5 3600 also showed myself 12.5 % more manufacturing. Then I played tests in games such as: Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Red Dead Redemption 2, Pubg, World of Tanks and Dota 2, and according to the results of all these tests, Ryzen 5 3600 was on average at 12, it turned out to be 12, 5 % more manufacturing. To summarize, all the advantages of the Ryzen 5 3600 such as the release date, the basic frequency, the maximum frequency, the process and power consumption suggests that the Ryzen 5 3600 is the best processor, but in my opinion the difference in performance is not significant, but it is necessary to give it to The Ryzen 5 3600 is designed for desktop computers, and Xeon E5 2690 V3 for servers and workstations. It is also worth considering that for a lower price of Xeon E5 2690V3 we get about the same performance as the Ryzen 5 3600. Summing up I would call the Xeon E5 2690V3 cheap analogue Ryzen 5 3600. In the end, my choice would fall on Ryzen 5 3600 so As the AM4 socket has the ability to update your processor to a newer and more productive one, but if you want to save and do not plan a further PC upgrade, you can take Xeon E5 2690 V3.

If you still have questions about the choice between Ryzen 5 3600 and Xeon E5-2690 V3 - set them in the comments, and I will try to answer them.
