Performance per £ Value

Performance per pound results for the Ryzen 5 3600XT are good, with the six-core chip closely competing against AMD’s eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X. Stock versus stock, the 3600XT cannot come anywhere near the value of the standard 3600X, though, and the cheaper 3600 non-X is even better value again.

Overclocking the 3600XT to 4.6GHz delivers a strong value bump and puts it at the top of the chart alongside the stock 3600X. Of course, the cheaper 3600X could also be overclocked to extract more value from its result, though.
