AMD R7 3700X & R5 3600 in 2024 Revisit: Benchmarks vs. 7800X3D, 5700X3D, & More

Sponsor: Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 on Amazon - https://geni.us/FUqbQC AMD's Ryzen 7 3700X & Ryzen 5 3600 CPUs are now 5 years old -- time flies. The CPUs launched in an era when Intel was often the winner in gaming benchmarks with the i7-8700K and i9-9900K, but it had also begun losing ground versus AMD's maturing Ryzen CPUs on the Zen architecture. The R7 3700X and R5 3600 are still capable CPUs even in 2024, so we're revisiting them to see how they perform against modern games and modern CPUs. Testing includes games mostly from 2023 and 2024, with some older titles mixed-in. This also marks the first major update to our CPU testing methodology in a while, preparing for the AMD Zen 5 CPU release with the Ryzen 9000 CPUs (including the 9600X, 9700X, 9900X, and 9950X). Benchmarks feature in-socket upgrades like AM4's best chips (the 5700X3D, 5800X3D, and 5600X3D), as well as Intel LGA1700 and AMD AM5 alternatives (such as the 14900K and 7800X3D). AMD has delayed its Ryzen 9000 series (Zen 5) CPUs.
