ok I'm really confused one say take ryzen and one say take intel 😀 guys what is the best for gaming just gaming without editing without anything
LOL The 1600 is a hex core that is a mainstream alternative to the 75 or possibly the 7600(not the K) when OC'd. The 7700K's gaming performance slaps the 1600 with a wet Ramen noodle and takes first place. WE also have the choice between hex and octo core that when applied to gaming is pretty much moot.
That's why I also brought in the 1700x to make it more of a fair fight.
Should the water not be muddy enough and the confusion not shrouded by fog, wrapped in a mystery, trapped in a singularity and hidden in an enigma enough for you... When value is king the 7600K is the best value when someone has chosen a Z270 board. It's a quad core that happiest when gaming. But in the most CPU intensive games Ashes of the singularity? I would want the 7700K in my corner.
KISS Principle? 7700K.
