Upgrading a second machine. Current setup is 8600k and gigabyte gaming 5.
Current parts purchased or reusing:
XPG S50 Lite 1TB (tier 1 on linus tech tips) (new)
Ballstix 3600mhz ddr4 CL16 (new)
Corsair 750 HXI
1050TI
Corsair 760T with LL120's RGB
I have built many systems over the years of both INTEL and AMD. I like them both. I recently just moved from my 6700k to an 3900x and super happy with it.
3700x Passmark is 22809
10700 is 17400
Amd system will give me PCI gen 4 (yes I have a gen 4 NVME). AMD comes with a better stock fan IMHO AMD system is 488 plus tax.
Intel system has lower passmark, onboard video (I'm using a card so not a huge bonus, but a small one), Intel system is 448 plus tax.
This machine does some audio recording and encoding, heavy browsing. This machine does NOT video game. I just mainly want more threads.
What would you do and give me a reason? Would you save the 40 bucks to go intel? I doubt honestly Ill be able to tell either way. I have always been happy with either brand, just want to see some opinions. Intel was not on the radar, but the prices are crazy good!
