AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Review: Why Is This Amazon's Best Selling CPU?
by Dr. Ian Cutress on May 18, 2020 9:00 AM ESTGaming: F1 2018
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.
We use the in-game benchmark, set to run on the Montreal track in the wet, driving as Lewis Hamilton from last place on the grid. Data is taken over a one-lap race.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

Haha, I knew somebody would would be slow enough to say that.Spunjji - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link
Why are so many people who make terrible points under the impression that it's their critics who are slow?dromoxen - Thursday, May 28, 2020 - link
perhaps the slow one is the Flying trousers .. You have already paid out 100 so to upgrade you would need to spend an extra 290 cadshabby - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
I paid 10k for a used corvette, who in their right mind would pay 60k for a new one...flyingpants265 - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
I guess nobody, if the only advantage is a 15% performance increase. Thanks for proving my point!Spunjji - Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - link

Someone had to buy the original for there to be a used oneIf no one buys the original, there will be no used ones for you to buy

Why does the ryzen 3 3300X scores so high in DigiCortex even with half the cores of the 3700X?Or is a typo?
GreenReaper - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
Probably because the interaction between the cores matters, and the 3700X has cores on two separate complexes.silverblue - Monday, May 18, 2020 - link
I got a 3600 recently, and it works fine on my Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3, a B350 board from mid-2017. It does occasionally peak up to about 4.15GHz as far as I can tell from Ryzen Master, which is in no doubt helped by reusing my 1600's v1 Spire, along with MX-4 paste, in place of the packaged Stealth. Folding can still push temperatures up pretty high, especially if handling CPU and GPU work orders at the same time; partly thanks to having a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 590, CPU temperatures were spiking to the low 90s Celsius, but a combination of two new Corsair ML120 case fans (twice as effective as the Aerocool intake fan/ancient Akasa exhaust fan combo I had before) plus some slightly tweaked fan profiles knocked this down nearly ten degrees, along with boosting CPU folding speed a little. It's a great CPU, though I wish I had more than an RX 590 to go along with it.
