SiSoftware Sandra
We are now testing in the popular SiSoftware Sandra 2021 version. We are testing the CPU arithmetic section. In this graph above we are looking at Dhrystone integer performance in multi-threading. We find that the newer Ryzen 5 5600X has improved upon integer performance in multi-threading by 6% over the Ryzen 5 3600X. PBO adds 1% more performance.
In this graph, we are now looking at the Whetstone floating-point performance in multi-threading. In floating-point performance, the Ryzen 5 5600X improves upon the Ryzen 5 3600X by 15%. This is much higher than the integer performance, showing that the Zen 3 architecture is much improved for floating-point. PBO doesn’t add much performance here.
Now we are looking at Dhrystone integer performance again, but this time on a single thread. Single-thread performance is where the new Ryze 5 5600X rocks, with 24% better integer performance in single-threaded performance versus Ryzen 5 3600X. PBO adds 1% more performance.
Now the best of both worlds, in single-threaded performance, and floating-point, the Ryzen 5 5600X is 18% faster than the Ryzen 5 3600X. This shows how well the single-threaded performance IPC is improved, plus the floating-point.

Good review btw -
That said I'd really be interested in a Re:Review. Comparing the 3600x 5600x and 7600x in modern games. Same for the 8 core ones.
Especially in 4K, I know it would be gpu limited, and that's exactly the point, to see how much an older CPU holds you back irl.
I'm not so sure about the 3600K but I definitely have seen CPU bottleneck in 4K with my 4930K (@4.3 GHz) with more modern RT games. No matter what GPU I've paired it with a 3090 and 3090 Ti it has shown significant issues with games like Spider-Man Remastered, CB 2077, and The Witcher 3 Enhanced, Crysis Remastered. I haven't gotten around to testing Hogwarts on it yet. However, it still does well with just about anything not using more advanced/demanding RT features. The 3700X seems to be doing pretty well with most things still though.
