At these settings Metro Exodus is a tough game to run fast and there's less load on the CPU. Memory. The lack of hyperthreading also hurts the 9600k in many demanding titles.I really enjoyed overclocking my current cpu and i had a lot of fun, now the hard part.What board should i pick and i'm missing something from amd that i did not take into consideration?The i5-9600k locks you into a dead-end socket without a good upgrade path.The 9600k looks really good today. Better clock speeds and slight IPC advantage. In Premiere Pro CC 2020, the Core i5-10600K was a huge amount faster than the Core i5-9600K and while it only matched the cheaper Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X at stock speed, once overclocked to 5… This CPU lacks both the Intel Thermal Velocity Boost Frequency, as well as the more useful Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology found in its i9-10900K and i7-10700K counterparts. The 3600 is in competition with Intel’s 6-core i5-9600K. I have to say that temperatures were much lower than I expected too, with 5.1GHz on the Core i9-10900K easily tamable on my test bench using liquid cooling, perhaps thanks to the new thinner die and thicker heatspreader that Intel claims boosts cooling.However, it differs in other ways too.
The Pro4 also has a rear USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port and addressable RGB headers as opposed to normal ones, if those strike your fancy. I'm guessing the 3600X would destroy it in all productivity tests and if I was building a new one right now it would be a 3700X. If content creation is your primary concern, the fact it costs less than $300 now means that if the Intel CPU retails for a similar price, the AMD CPU will be by far the better choice, especially as it will work perfectly well on a cheap B450 motherboard.Blender is another situation where AMD's multi-threaded prowess shines and the Ryzen 7 3700X is unbeatable here. The 3600 is also cheaper than the 9600K.Intel is generally a little better for high refresh rate 1080p displays. AMD has been reducing prices over the last few weeks, but as you can see above, the Core i5-10600K is set to retail for a 1K unit price of $262. To see if this theory holds up, we'll be stacking up the Ryzen 5 3600X not only against its immediate competitor - the Core i5 9600K - but also the higher end offerings from both Intel and AMD. Overall it's a small win for Intel with a bigger one if you're up for some overclocking.Ultimately, this means that the Core i5-10600K is going to be far more potent in multi-threaded tasks including some games, than its predecessor as well as more competitive against the competition; AMD's six-core CPUs usually blasted the Core i5-9600K when it came to multi-threaded performance. AMD’s Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-threaded processor which succeeds the Ryzen 5 2600 improving upon it by 13% in terms of overclocked performance.
