This processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, making hyperthreading possible. The 3600X is considerably faster than the 3600 variant. This X version has a maximum clock speed of no less than 4.4 GHz. The 3600X uses the new Zen 2 7nm architecture, which delivers high performance with low power consumption. Thanks to 32 MB of L3 cache and 3 MB of L2 cache, this processor processes data at lightning speed. The memory controller supports DDR4 RAM with a maximum memory speed of 3200 MHz.

When installing it was a bit of a shock that the processor still works with the pin system, while I was used to the new system from intel. The concern was that I might crush the pins by accident. In the end it turns out that inserting the processor is very simple and the manual is also very clear and well-guided. Installing the cooler is also very smooth since the thermal paste is already present (so take it carefully out of the box so that you do not spread it over your finger).
Once all installations were done, it was clear that the standard office programs and video players load very smoothly. Also the CPU performance is very well balanced when opening the performance graphs (Partly dependent on windows).
This AMD CPU is therefore definitely recommended for a desk computer. Of course, don't expect it to be very fluent when using more advanced programs. It is a 5 series processor and not a 7 or 9 series!
If you want to do a little more, simply take something more powerful.

One of the best CPUs at an affordable price. Runs quite cool. If you really want maximum performance/price, it's better to buy the normal 3600 and an aftermarket fan.
