AMD's website seems to indicate that discrete graphics card is not required for the Ryzen 5 3600 XT. For example, in here, if you scroll to the 'Related Products' section, it says the Ryzen 5 3600 requires a discrete graphics card, but for the Ryzen 5 3600XT it says it does not.

So this seems to indicate it does not require a discrete graphics card. What does this mean about its graphics performance? Can it play modern games at 4K without a graphics card? Or at least 1080P? Can it be used for video editing? Would an video editor like Davinci Resolve use it's GPU cores (if it has any)?

I have not found any benchmarks indicating it's graphics performance. All the benchmarks I've seen couple it with a graphics card.

[edit] The 3600XT does not have a integrated GPU. AMD's website is just omitting that does not require a discrete graphics card. Their naming convention is also confusing because it reminds of of the RX 5500 XT.

    It has no on-chip graphics. Your opening statement is incorrect. uk.pcmag.com/chipsets-processors/127658/amd-ryzen-5-3600xt

  • This question is confusing. According to AMD's specifications of the processor, it actually does NOT have a built-in GPU, which means you will need a discrete graphics card. Please edit your question to clarify, what exactly is your question, because the Ryzen 5 3600XT does NOT have a iGPU.

  • @Tetsujin Ok, so that says it does not have a IGPU. But I'm not sure how to explain the possible discrepancy from AMD's own website.

  • @Ramhound That does not indicate it doesn't have a IGPU. In fact, it leads me to believe it does have a IGPU because it says under 'Related Products', the 3600X, 3600 require a graphics card, but the page for 3600X says the 3600XT does not require a graphics card.

  • It doesn't indicate it doesn't have an IGPU, but neither does it indicate it does. Call it an error of omission. If it did have one, they'd be keen to mention it.

The XT Ryzen models don’t have iGPU’s. Only the models with a G suffix have them. So your question doesn’t make sense.
