AMD's Ryzen 5 3500X CPU is a China-only launch, but can be purchased via online retailers at around the price of an R5 2600. It's half the threads of the 3600, though. Sponsor: Gigabyte X299X Designare 10G (Amazon https://geni.us/EevIHs) In this review, we're primarily comparing the AMD R5 3500X, a 6-core, 6-thread part, to the AMD R5 3600, its 6C/12T counterpart. We also talk about the R5 2600, another 6C/12T part, but one which is about the same price as the R5 3500X currently is online. We've seen pricing on the 3500X range from $120 to $200, but at $200, you should obviously be buying a 3600 instead. At the lower end of the price scale, it does become more reasonable in value. The R5 3500X is a China-only CPU that can be bought from retailers online and imported, although it takes a few weeks to receive. It's still Ryzen and all the same motherboards work with it as with the R5 3600.
