The younger brother of the Ryzen 5 3600X
The Ryzen 5 3500X can be considered the little brother of the once extremely popular Ryzen 5 3600X, which helped AMD cement its leadership in the processor market a few years ago and became part of many entry-level and mid-range gaming builds.
It also has six cores on the Zen 2 architecture, an unlocked multiplier, factory overclocking, and 32 MB of L3 cache. The only difference is slightly reduced clock speeds and the lack of multithreading, meaning there are 6 cores and only 6 threads instead of 12.
Not the newest architecture Zen 2
Thanks to the unlocked multiplier, the boost clock can be raised to 4.2-4.4 GHz, which practically puts it on par with the Ryzen 5 3600X, but at a much more attractive price. However, is it worth considering in 2025? With the advent of modern Zen 3, Zen 4 and the very latest Zen 5 architectures, some may consider the Ryzen 5 3500X an outdated solution. It all depends on how you look at it.
A solution for gamers on a budget
If you're looking for a well-rounded entry-level gaming PC but need to skimp on every component, this processor is still a solid choice. Inexpensive DDR4 memory, affordable AM4 socket motherboards, and the Ryzen 5 3500X itself make it possible to build a system with minimal investment. Pair it with a fast SSD and a Radeon 5700 XT-level graphics card, and you've got a solid gaming machine capable of hitting 50-60 FPS in most modern AAA games at Full HD with moderate or even high graphics settings.
