The AMD Ryzen 5 3500x New Chip is a processor designed specifically for the Chinese OEM and system integrator (SI) market. It stands out among AMD’s third-gen Ryzen stack as the only model without simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). With six cores and threads, it offers solid performance for its target market. However, enthusiasts should stick with AMD’s retail models for the best mix of price and performance. Notably, the Ryzen 5 3500X lacks an integrated graphics engine, making it suitable only for systems with a discrete graphics card
