[SOLVED] 9400f or 2600x

[Tommynew]

Wich one should i get?
Same price
Im not considering the 2600 because its only 20 cheaper.
Please give me your opinions.

2600x is the better buy.

The 9400f and 2600x are very similar in games, however, the 2600x has 6 more threads making it a better buy for future games and for current productivity tasks.

for? gaming 9400f would be better

Right now on a typical mid level GPU these two processors would be used with like a Vega 56 or 2070 GPUs they are very similar in game performance with a massive advantage going to the 2600x in everything else like streaming or video work. Add in the upgrade path available with the AM4 socket and I wouldn't hesitate to grab the 2600x over the 9400f.

Also, i forgot to say that im going to use and "old" ddr4 2133 stick that i have.
Maybe then i should go for intel?

A single 2133 stick isn't ideal for either an Intel or AMD system.

Intel would have less performance loss by your ram tho.

Yeah one DDR4 stick is gonna stink performance wise.

i have same situation with intel. single stick 2400. my fps in games is very close to benchs in youtube maybe 5 fps at max. its i5 8400

Nobody runs a single stick...!!!!

 

[mdd1963]

9400F often has a little higher average FPS, but, the 2600X often has better minimum FPS (.1/1% lows), which are also very important to avoid a perceived 'stutter' experience...

I'd go with the 2600X , but only if absolutely unable to acquire a 3600!

If your main usage is to run multithreaded batch apps, then the extra threads of the 2600x will be better.
Extra threads can be useful if your gaming is multiplayer with many participants.

Otherwise it is a draw for gaming.

As to ram, a single stick on ryzen is not good.
Intel does not depend much on ram speed or dual channel(assuming a discrete graphics card)

I think I would plan on a 2 x 4gb ram kit regardless.
If you buy a intel motherboard with 4 ram slots, there is a decent chance that your odd 4gb stick will play nice, giving you 12gb.
That is called flex mode where 8gb will be dual channel, 4gb will be single channel.
Flex mode is not supported on ryzen.
