It's almost a tie depending on what your doing.

Intel Core i5 12400F vs. AMD Ryzen 5 5600X: Affordable CPUs, compared

The Intel Core i5-12400F and AMD RX 5600X are two of the most affordable mid-range processors of their generations, but the Intel chip is far more affordable.

I mostly play CS:GO. I've seen some benchmarks where i5-12400f deals better, and some where 5600X is better, I'm so confused.

Don't trust youtube videos you can make the outcome any way you wish..
Then you get into different setups also.

Cheapest is best.

5600x is slightly faster, the 12400 is considerably cheaper. For a new rig, I would say 12400, as more affordable B660 boards should be showing up soon, if they haven't already.

Doesn't the Source Engine in CSGO not favor Ryzen more?

03:50 - CSGO Best CPUs Benchmarked 2022 (1080p & 1440p)

Granted, a 3080 is used here, so scale those results down just a tad if using a weaker gpu; CSGO is still mostly cpu bound.

They're about the same price (with mobo they both are ~500 euro) in my country. As 5600X has a better performance in CSGO, I will choose it. Thank you all.

What country are you located?

 

[LeviTech]

With the 12400F you do all that you can do with the 5600x with a cheaper chip.

Germany? Worst case 200 CPU 12400F + 200 MB for B660.

Wait until they test all the Z690 boards that can unlock the BCLK OC and get the cheapest one that can.

I may have a shot att buying a ryzen 5600x and Asus rog Strix gaming-f for about 340$, used.

A new 12400f and b660 in my country would be about 430-440$. 12400f is 220$ and the boards about the same. The cheaper ones are crap, and I really don't se the prices going down anytime soon. I even believe it has been anounced by TSMC they will increase prices this year by 20% on chips.

Don't really know what to go for. Currently have a 4790k.

Will those vrm:s be good enough for a future i7 or i9? If I choose to upgrade further down the road.

They will be fine for a locked cpu such as a i7 12700F.

 

[DalleV]

So in conclusion, even if ryzen still is a good platform, 12400f and b660 is still the better buy? Granted one can find a decent board that doesn't cost to much.

How does the Asus Prime B660-Plus stack up compared to Gaming X? It can be found for same price.

Also the Prime non Plus and MSI pro are similarly prices

The Gigabyte board has DrMOS / better cooling.

 

[DalleV]

Those gaming X should be avaliable mid february. Guess I'll wait then.

I would be surprised if Intel reacted different
