We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors. We see that the two processors have an equivalent number of cores, the turbo frequency of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is bigger, that their respective TDP are of the same order. Both were produced in the same year.

Performances :

Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark software such as Geekbench 4.

	CPU-Z - Multi-thread & single thread score
AMD Ryzen 5 3600#ad	509 4,039
AMD Ryzen 5 3500#ad	462 2,435

In single core, the difference is 10%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 66%.

average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.

CPU-Z is a system information software that provides the name of the processor, its model number, the codename, the cache levels, the package, the process. It can also gives data about the mainboard, the memory. It makes real time measurement, with finally a benchmark for the single thread, as well as for the multi thread.

	PassMark - CPU Mark & single thread
AMD Ryzen 5 3600#ad	2,570 17,780
AMD Ryzen 5 3500#ad	2,430 12,590

In single core, the difference is 6%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 41%.

PassMark is a benchmarking software that performs several performance tests including prime numbers, integers, floating point, compression, physics, extended instructions, encoding, sorting. The higher the score is, the higher is the device capacity.


On Windows 64-bit:

	Geekbench 4 - Multi-core & single core score - Windows 64-bit
AMD Ryzen 5 3600#ad	5,470 27,530
AMD Ryzen 5 3500#ad	4,908 18,543

In single core, the difference is 11%. In multi-core, the difference in terms of gap is 48%.

Note: Commissions may be earned from the links above. These scores are only an
average of the performances got with these processors, you may get different results.

Geekbench 4 is a complete benchmark platform with several types of tests, including data compression, images, AES encryption, SQL encoding, HTML, PDF file rendering, matrix computation, Fast Fourier Transform, 3D object simulation, photo editing, memory testing. This allows us to better visualize the respective power of these devices. For each result, we took an average of 250 values on the famous benchmark software.
