Silently AMD expanded their Ryzen 3000 line-up this week, exclusively in Chinafor the time being. Ryzen 5 3500X has been benchmarked. The non SMT Ryzen 5 is compared with Intel's Core i5 9400F - who is in the lead in the price range up to 150 Euro?

The setup used is an MSI B450M Mortar Titanium (AMD), an MSI B360M Mortar Titanium (Intel) and both got 2x8 GB DDR4-3200. In all tested office workloads, the six-core (six threads, no virtual core doubling, AMD SMT) is ahead of the i5 9400F, which also has six cores and no Intel Hyper-Threading. Have a peek below and click on the thumbnails, they also threw in a Ryxen 5 3600 to compare with.

Not bad but the 2600 is 20 Euro less expensive, it might be interesting to compare old gen 2600 6/12 versus new gen 3500X 6/6 as they are in same price range (and they have a huge stock of 2600 to sell) ...

I agree. The 2600 has SMT, but, Zen2 is also a noticeably faster architecture. I'd also really like to see the 8600K thrown in the mix.

That huge L3 cache really does help.

Seems a bit of a test-market concept for now...

An unnecessary part.

Have they hit rock bottom in salvageable Zen 2 7nm dies ? Or we'll see something even worse in the future...

Seems solid for $150. I mean the 3600 makes a lot more sense for overall desktop use, but if your main thing is playing games then the 3500x offers almost the same performance as a 3600.

I think the 2600 makes sense as well, but overall I think the 3500x is going to be faster in games as it's very close to the 3600, which is up to 15% faster in games, though probably weaker in applications.

Good niche product, though personally I'm going for the Ryzen 3600x

I'd call it trolling.

To me, these new Ryzen could be used to build inexpensive Xen Orchestra machines and maybe some SOHO servers.
Only that I need more information about the virtualization technology available for new Ryzen.
I would like to test some VMWARE baremetal on Ryzen platform.
AMD, please send some SKUs my way, I promise to deliver a paper on this.
