There is a double post?

The 3600 is also slower than the 2700X in most multi-threaded tasks by about 15% but is the same price.

That is not true it depends on the software the difference can be 5% in the 3600's favor or up to 15% in the 2700X's favor. Some of the more common uses like Gaming, Photoshop, and blender all favor the 3600.

I saw nothing in reviews comparing the two where the 2700X was faster/better....(except perhaps the 2700X's lower temps and power consumption under load)

Ergo, in comparison to the 3600, the 2700X should now be about $150 to be tempting..

Micro Center is offering the 2700X for $159.99. Even with tax, that seems to be an even better deal than Amazon.

Provided you live near a Micro Center since that is in-store only, your going to find that most people don't.

It depends on the operations, in gaming terms thought the 3600 leads by a slim margin in nearly every title you can find. If you can pick up a 2700x far cheaper than a 3600 then yes it's worth it.
