However, compared with high-end models such as Ruilong 7 and Ruilong 9, which cost more than 2,500 yuan, many consumers pay more attention to Ruilong 5 series processors that are positioned in the mid-end market and are more close to the people. The previous 1600X/ 1600 and 2600X/2600 are also explosions with good sales. At present, the author has got the latest Ruilong 5 3600X processor, which will be listed below.
Analysis of Zen 2 Architecture
Like the third-generation Ryzen processor of high-end AMD, the Ruilong 5 3600X processor also adopts a brand-new "zen 2" micro-architecture, which has been fully upgraded compared with the previous "Zen" and "Zen+". The pipeline bandwidth is wider, the buffer is larger, the execution units are more and stronger, and the average IPC is increased to about 15%.
AMD has made great progress in technology in recent years. AMD Ruilong 3rd generation processor with "Zen2" architecture has surpassed Intel Core in IPC, and single-core performance is no longer a short board. Moreover, the three generations of Ruilong family have not regressed in the number of cores. The flagship model Ruilong 9 3950X is a 16 core performance monster that unlocks two complete CCDs, and has the productivity performance comparable to HEDT platform level!
Back to the protagonist of our article, Ruilong 5 3600X, like the previous 2600X 1600X, is designed with 6 cores 12 threads and is compatible with the original AM4 interface. Adopt the latest 7nm technology, 32MB cache, fundamental frequency 3.8GHz, maximum acceleration 4.4GHz, TDP95W, and support PCI-E4.0. Compared with the same generation Ruilong 5 3600, Ruilong 5 3600X has higher fundamental frequency and maximum acceleration frequency, and the guiding retail price is 1999 yuan.
Compared with Intel Core i5-9600K, Ruilong 5 3600X supports hyper-threading technology, which also makes Ruilong 5 3600X have the capital of leapfrog fighting in some application scenarios.
2. Unpack the product
The box of Ruilong 5 3600X is relatively square, and some surfaces have the texture of carbon fiber. The previous description clearly reveals that the box contains the third generation Ruilong 5 processor, and the "PCIe EN 4 Ready" in the lower left corner is also very eye-catching.
The radiator of Ruilong 5 3600X box is a "ghost spire", which is a pure aluminum push-down radiator. The specifications are not as good as the ghost prism, but heavier than the ghost steam, which explains why the packaging box of Ruilong 5 3600X is much larger than that of Ruilong 5 3600.
The appearance of Ruilong 5 3600X is the same as other AMD processors, and the array continues PGA 133 1 of AM4 interface (be careful when disassembling and assembling to prevent bending and fracture).
The "AMD Ruilong 3600X" on the top cover highlights the identity of this processor, and there are several rows of small characters below, in which "American Different" means that the 12nm I/O controller in the core is produced by American GlobalFoundries, "Taiwan Province Different" means that the 7 nm "Zen2" CPU chip is made by TSMC in Taiwan Province Province, China, and "China Made" means.
Three. Brief introduction of test platform
We use Huaqing X570 Taiji as the collocation of Ruilong 5 3600X. This motherboard is quite eye-catching in design and rich in materials. The luxurious 14 phase power supply can perfectly cope with the high-end Ryzen processor of 12 core and 16 core. The addition of integrated IO, semi-covered backboard and PCIe armor not only improves the appearance, but also improves the durability.

At the same time, we conducted synchronization test on Intel Core i7-9700K. Core i7-9700K is designed with 8 cores and 8 threads, with a main frequency of 3.6GHz, a single-core turbo frequency of up to 4.9GHz and a cache of 12MB. At present, the retail price in JD.COM is 2799 yuan, which is a star model in the high-end processor market. Ruilong 5 3600X is a product with a guide price of less than 2000 yuan. What will be the result of a cross-level battle with it? We continue to look down.
Overview of two test platforms, AMD Ruilong 5 3600X platform:
Intel Core i7-9700K platform:
Four. Processor benchmark performance test
CineBnch R 15 is a convincing CPU and graphics card testing system, which can support up to 256 logic cores. At the same time, it also strengthens the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, illumination and reflection blur.
In the R 15 test, the single-core performance of Ruilong 5 3600X is 203cb, which is not only greatly improved compared with the second generation Ruilong, but also almost the same as that of Core i7-9700K. With high SMT hyper-threading efficiency, the multi-core performance of Ruilong 5 3600X is higher than that of the more expensive Core i7-9700K.
Cinebench R20 is a computer performance testing software launched by MAXON. Compared with Cinebench R 15, this R20 can call 4 times the memory and 8 times the computing power, and the load intensity is higher.
Ruilong 5 3600X has a single core of 503pts and a multi-core of 3747pts in R20 test, which is almost the same as that of Core i7-9700K. The slight difference can even be counted as an error.
As a classic professional CPU testing tool, CPU-Z is not only easy to use, but also completely free. With this software, you can quickly detect all the detailed information of CPU, as well as all the hardware information such as cache, motherboard, memory, SPD and graphics card. Moreover, the software also adds a test function, which can test the performance of CPU simply and quickly.
In the v10/7 test of 1.90 version, Ruilong 5 3600X, as a product with lower price and fewer cores, still achieved almost the same results as Core i7-9700K, and the IPC improvement and SMT efficiency brought by "Zen2" architecture are undoubtedly revealed.
Corona renderer is a brand-new high-performance photo realistic renderer. In the benchmark test of corona 1.3 version, the average speed of Ruilong 5 3600X is as high as 3,490,770 rays/second, which is superior to Core i7-9700K in performance.

In Blender benchmark's "bmw27" scene, Ruilong 5 3600X completed the rendering modeling in 344. 137 seconds, which is slightly slower than Core i7-9700K, but it will take shorter time to deal with more complicated "classroom" scenes.
Super Pi is very sensitive to single-core performance, which is also Intel's traditional advantage project. Ruilong 5 3600X takes 9.486 seconds to calculate1m. Although there is still a gap compared with the higher frequency Core i7-9700K, it is also greatly improved compared with the previous generation and the second generation Ruilong.
7-Zip is completely free compression.
Decompress
Software, compared with other compression software, its compression speed is faster.
Rapid pressure
The shrinkage rate is better, and the support for hyper-threading is very good. The benchmark test score of Ruilong 5 3600X is as high as 6 14 16MIPS, which is nearly 5000MIPS higher than the more expensive Core i7-9700K.
In the benchmark test of WinRAR (version 57 1), the performance of Ruilong 5 3600X is also excellent, which is also faster than Core i7-9700K.
PCMark 10 extended mode is a long-term test, which can provide organizations with a complete evaluation of system performance beyond typical office tasks. Some strict graphics card tests and physical tests for GPU and CPU performance are adopted, which broadens the scope of PCMark 10 benchmark test.
It can be seen that the comprehensive score of Ruilong 5 3600X is almost the same as that of Core i7-9700K, which is more expensive. Specifically, each of the four different projects has its own emphasis, and all of them win or lose.
The new "Zen2" architecture improves the memory controller and makes it more compatible. Ruilong 5 3600X can perfectly adapt to 3600MHz C 16 high-frequency memory. In the memory and cache test of AIDA64, compared with Core i7-9700K, the memory copying speed is as high as 49,326 MB/s, and the memory reading speed is as high as 51974 MB/s.. However, because the Ruilong 5 3600X is designed as a single die, the memory write bandwidth is greatly reduced, and the speed is only half of the theoretical value. However, because most users rarely do intensive calculations that need to write back a large amount of data, the impact is not great.
In terms of memory latency, the Ruilong 5 3600X is 68.6ns, which is equivalent to the second generation Ryzen processor. However, due to the built-in 32MB super cache of Ruilong 5 3600X, the impact of memory delay on the game is reduced.
Sisoftware Sandra is a powerful tool for system analysis and evaluation, and it has many application test schemes. As a system testing software, it can not only provide detailed hardware information, but also compare the performance of products. This test uses the latest version of 2020 to test four items: arithmetic processor, multimedia processor, financial analysis and encryption and decryption performance.
"Arithmetic processor" shows how the central processing unit processes arithmetic and floating-point instructions compared with other processors.
"Multimedia processor" embodies how the processor processes multimedia instructions.
Option pricing performance of "Financial Analysis" processor.
Reflect the performance of the processor when performing encryption and decryption operations (encryption, decryption, hashing, signature, etc.). ) on a typical encryption and decryption engine.
Many test items in Sisoftware Sandra almost use the AVX2 instruction set, which is very sensitive to the floating-point performance of the processor, which is also the weakness of AMD's first and second generation Ryzen processor. The bit width of the third generation Ryzen processor floating-point unit with Zen2 architecture has doubled, which is reflected in the test results. Ruilong 5 3600X is not much different from Core i7-9700K with higher positioning in various tests of Sisoftware Sandra, which can be said to make up for the previous shortcomings.
Summary: The above benchmarks include decompression, transcoding, rendering, modeling and creation, etc., which basically cover most usage scenarios of PC users. With this extremely high single-core IPC and powerful SMT hyper-threading efficiency, Ruilong 5 3600X has performed very well in various tests, even compared with Core i7-9700K, which is priced at 1000 yuan, it can win or lose each other. AMD III。

Game test summary:
Through the measurement of these seven 3A masterpieces, we can feel the powerful game performance of Ruilong 5 3600X, and there is no pressure to drive graphics cards like RTX2080SUPER. Core i7-9700K, on the other hand, with eight physical cores, higher frequency and low memory delay brought by Ringbus, the game performs better.
To sum up, if Core i7-9700K is taken as the standard, the game performance of Ruilong 5 3600X can reach about 94% of that of Core i7-9700K at the resolution of 1080P; At 2K resolution, due to the greater load pressure of the graphics card, the influence of CPU on the number of game frames is relatively reduced, so Ruilong 5 3600X can experience 97% of the game performance close to that of Core i7-9700K 97%
Power consumption and temperature test of intransitive verbs
At the room temperature of 28℃, the system stability test with AIDA64 shows that after baking FPU FPU 20 minutes, the frequency of Ruilong 5 3600X is stable at about 4.05GHz. The temperature monitoring of RYZEN MASTER shows that the platform power consumption is157.6 W. In contrast, in the same environment, after baking FPU FPU FPU 20 minutes, the core temperature is as high as 87 C, and the whole platform power consumption is 231.5 W. With the support of 7nm process, the energy consumption ratio of Ruilong 5 3600X is excellent.
In addition, because Ruilong 5 3600X supports Precision Boost and XFR technologies, it can automatically maximize the boost frequency according to the current load, temperature, voltage and other states when the processor is running. Although it reduces the playability of manual overclocking, for most ordinary users, they can enjoy the best performance after installation and lighting.
Seven. abstract
As can be seen from the above tests, the performance of Ruilong 5 3600X is still excellent. Compared with the previous generation products, while retaining the advantages of multi-core, the single-core capability has also been greatly improved, and playing games is no longer a short board.
Compared with Core i7-9700K, Ruilong 5 3600X has the same productivity and performance, and can handle various high-load tasks such as rendering, transcoding, decompression and modeling efficiently and calmly. In terms of games, Ruilong 5 3600X is weaker than Core i7-9700K, but the gap is not too big, within 10%.
But it is not advisable to discuss absolute performance without considering the cost. At present, the self-operated flagship store of Ruilong 5 3600x in JD.COM is priced at 1999 yuan, and you can also enjoy the preferential activities of 1750 minus 150 yuan, so you can start with 1849 yuan, while the boxed price of Core i5-9600K is 1799 yuan. Combining the prices of these three products, Ruilong 5 3600X is equivalent to the price of i5 but provides performance close to i7, which is really a leap-forward experience!
In addition, many users' DIY purchase budgets are relatively limited, so they will inevitably make choices when purchasing accessories. It's not just the processor that affects the computer experience. If you can save 1 1,000 yuan when you buy a processor, you can upgrade your graphics card to a higher level, or choose to buy a memory with higher clock frequency, a motherboard that is easier to expand, and a M.2 solid state drive with larger capacity, and finally get all-round platform performance improvement. Compared with "high U and low display" and "flagship U beggar board", the above consumption concept should be a more sensible choice under the condition of limited pre-selection.
