One of the first characteristics that are usually looked for is the processor is that it must respond to the demands of the type of user that it is. In the specific case of video games, there will be people looking for a good resolution, a good frame rate per second or a maximum performance to play and at the same time produce content or broadcast live.

In THE TIME we have been able to test the Ryzen 5-3600X, a processor with good value for money that stands out among the AMD portfolio.

This CPU has six cores and 12 threads, with a maximum frequency of 4.4 GHz; Zen 2 architecture and consumption that goes up to 95 watts.

For our test, we combined the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT with the following features:

After our tests we can say that this processor is capable enough to offer good quality when it comes to video games. For example, after hours of use at 1080p and 60 frames in Flight Simulator, a graphically demanding title, we can say that the experience was quite smooth and stable. We even managed to stream with just a few frame rate drops, noting that this is not a CPU focused for multi-tasking.

Further, the Ryzen 5- 3600X performs well when it comes to productivity. For example, we put it to the test with After Effects, one of Adobe’s most demanding programs, using 3D camera traces, among other features. The result, a video whose previews are fluid in 1080p and that is rendered in a matter of minutes.
