A Chinese media outlet has published some benchmark numbers for the soon-to-be-released AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-core 6-thread CPU. Expected to be priced around $150, it is being aimed at budget-conscious shoppers as an alternative to Intel"s Core i5-9400F processor for mid-range gaming builds.
The AMD test system used here:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3500X,
- MSI B450M Mortar Max motherboard,
- 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz,
- Maxsun Geforce GTX 1660 Terminator,
- Hikvision C2000 Pro 512GB NVMe SSD.
For the Intel test setup, the CPU and the accompanying motherboard were swapped out leaving the rest of the components identical. The Ryzen 5 3500X was replaced by the Core i5-9400F, and a B360M version of the same model took the place of the MSI B450M Mortar Max motherboard.
First up, the CPU-Z benchmark was run on both the processors to get a rough idea of their performances.
| Single-core | Multi-core | |
|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 3500X | 476.3 | 2774.9 |
| Core i5-9400F | 451.4 | 2568.2 |
Here"s a CPU-Z validation link which most likely belongs to the same configuration here.
Another benchmark was run that likely measured the performance of the processors in 4 different scenarios like general desktop usage, light productivity usage, etc. The Ryzen outperforms the i5 in each of the 4 tests. Overall, the 3500X scored 332661 against the 9400F"s 317350.

Gaming tests were conducted at 1080p resolution. The FPS obtained in the tests are summarized below:
| Ryzen 5 3500X | |
|---|---|
| PUBG | Avg: 80-85 |
| AC Odyssey | Avg: 65; Min: 27 |
| Shadow of the Tomb Raider | Avg: 77 |
| World War Z | Avg: 126; Min: 109 |
| League of Legends | Avg: 180 |
Unfortunately, a direct gaming comparison between the 3500X and the 9400F wasn"t conducted here so for now, we can only guess how the 2 processors would stack up.
