We always talk about the competition between Intel vs AMD and AMD vs Intel, the eternal fight. But what about the struggle that shops sell their products? Little is said about the low margins that competitors face and how strategies grow to become more important if they want to generate sales.
Therefore, PcComponentes has just dropped the CPU price as desired as it wished, the Ryzen 5 3600, where its price is now less than 180 euros.
AMD Ryzen 5 3600: no reason to find him
When a company lowers the price of its product too much, it means that it expects a large retail price. The Ryzen 5 3600 is a much sought after processor, especially because it's a Zen 2 input range and because its price has always been very low compared to its siblings.
Introduced on July 7, 2019 at an MSRP price of $ 199, it now comes with a complimentary discount that we don't know will be made for units or for a limited time, so run one!
What we will find is a processor for 6 cores and 12 threads base frequency of 3.6 GHz with a turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz built structures Zen 2 with basic microarchitecture Matisse.
Its cores generated in the final TSMC lithographic process a 7 nm
Up to 128 GB of DDR4 and just 65 watts of TDP
The great memory support you are able to hold this processor goes up to 128 GB, where your BMI is DDR4-3200 MHz (without overclocks) on its two RAM channels. As we know, including support for PCIe 4.0 with 20 lines directly to him, while the rest will be powered by the X570 chip.
It's a CPU that doesn't include an integrated graphics card, but one that provides a jump in performance due to its high CPI and advanced technology. XFR2, Precision Boost 2, Precision Boost and SenseMI.
To get it out we'll need a motherboard for it AM4 socks (package 1331), no matter which chipset is available, because currently all motherboards in that socket have UEFIs that support it.
Finally, remember that you only have one 65 watt TDP, so it is entirely possible to cool with low heatsinks, since the temperature we will have will not exceed the limits necessary for its use. As if that is not enough, the kind sold by PcComponent is the one that incorporates its exact heatsink, so if we don't believe it's necessary it will not create such a cost.
