Is this AMD's best all-round chip? We find out. Been a busy few weeks, hasn't it? AMD released a tech jamboree at the start of the month, headlined by all-new Navi-based Radeons and six Ryzen 3000-series CPUs touting the latest Zen 2 architecture and 7nm production.

On launch day, we took a look at two higher-end parts seeded by AMD - the Ryzen 9 3900X (£480) and Ryzen 7 3700X (£320), and both offered a decent performance uplift over their predecessors.

Though impressive, their asking price puts them outside of the volume mainstream market. This is where the Ryzen 5 duo comes in. We've got our mitts on the Ryzen 5 3600X, retailing for $250 (£240), so let's take a closer look.
