AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU Benchmarks Surface

A set of photos and CPU-Z / Cinebench screenshots have leaked onto the web, the processor involves the cheapest 199 USD based Ryzen 5 3600. This is the slowest and most affordable SKU that AMD will release with six cores and twelve threads. 

The Ryzen 5 3600 has a base clock of 3.6 GHz and can turbo to 4.2 GHz. From the looks of it, somebody has been able to grab a retail package as a photo of the box and proc has been included. Before we show you the stuff, we cannot vouch for its validity whatsoever okay?

The images below originate from Videocardz who posted these on twitter, so credits to him for that. As you will notice, Ryzen 5 3600 operates using 3200MHz DDR4 memory and offers 502.2 points in CPU-Z's single-threaded benchmark and 3989.4 points in CPU-Z's multi-threaded benchmark. For the slowest offering, that's actually not bad and on par with a Core i7 9700K. Multi-threaded perf seems good. Single threaded we'll have to wait and see, as we have little clue as to how this was tested and with what platform and firmware.

Also notice that the CB20 entry holds two 3600 scores, and the 10% slower one is highlighted. That might have been an OC run of some kind. Have a peek, and again please look at these with the usual disclaimers in mind.
