[SOLVED] 3800x vs 5600x to replace my 2700?

[Jeff_120]

Hello
I want to replace my Ryzen 2700 to avoid as much as possible bottleneck my RTX 3070 and get faster loading apps.
I was going to buy a 5600X given it's the best allrounder CPU nowadays for the price but it's very very hard to find one, so now I wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a Ryzen 3800X which is available everywhere?
I play at 1440p and 4k games and photo editing with Lightroom and Capture One
I saw there is a clear advantage for the 5600x at 1080p but the rare comparison with the 3800x at 1440p showed a tiny difference and I couldn't find a comparison for games at 4k, will the 5600x still beat the 3800x? and if yes by a tiny or big margin?
What about photo editing softwares?

if u cant find 5600x,get the 3700x,not the 3800x.3700X is much better than 3800x since its better in price to performance ratio.The difference between 3700x and 3800x is that 3800x has +100MHz stock,but also consumes 40W more than 3700x.Not to mention its more expensive.So just get 3700X if u cant find 5600X

Is there a good gain in fps in 1440p/4k between 3700x and 5600x?
I wonder if I should wait another days,weeks for the 5600x

I'd be looking at any available benchmarks...

Considering 5600x gaming performance may be a little better I'd be thinking of waiting, and since you asked the question I'm guessing waiting is an option. I'd want the to build with latest gen if possible.

Full disclaimer... this was a 2 minute investigation by me so I'd highly recommend you spend a little time of your own before spending your money.

there is a gain in gaming performance between 5600X and 3700X,about 20%,but if u want a real big upgrade why not go for 5900X?

It's overkill for my wallet

understandable.I suggest u do this.When your 3070/6800 is delivered to u,run some games at 4k and just test the performance that u will get.If ur not satisfied with that performance,then order 5600X.Thats what i would do

At 1440p and especially 4k the burden falls on the GPU. That's why reviews generally only look at 1080p since even a 3080 is gasping for air at 4K.
