Performance
1.CPU speed
6 x 3.8GHz
8 x 3GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
2.
CPU threads
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
3.turbo clock speed
4.4GHz
3.7GHz
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
4.Has an unlocked multiplier
✔AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
✔AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
5.L2 cache

Production
1. Spray of the central processor
6 x 3.8GHz
8 x 3.4GHz
CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second a processor can perform, considering all its cores (processors).
It is calculated by adding the clock speeds of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors, each group of cores.
2nd processor thread
More threads result in better performance and better multi-tasking.
3.speed turbo clock
4.4GHz
3.8GHz
When the processor is running below its limits, it can jump to a higher clock speed to increase performance.
4. Unlocked
✔AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
✔AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier and are easier to overclock, allowing for better performance in games and other applications.
5.L2 Cache
More L2 scratchpad memory results in faster results in CPU and system performance tuning.
6.L3 cache
More L3 scratchpad memory results in faster results in CPU and system performance tuning.
7.L1 cache
More L1 scratchpad memory results in faster results in CPU and system performance tuning.
8.core L2
0.5MB/core
0.5MB/core
More data can be stored in L2 scratchpad for access by each processor core.
9.core L3
5.33MB/core
2MB/core
More data can be stored in the L3 scratchpad for access by each processor core.
