Hi all,
I currently have both of these processors here ready to use ... I only have one system, so will be selling whichever one I don't use off.
I'm trying to make a call as to which one is better to keep:
The 2600x has more cores/threads, slightly bigger L3 cache but is an older processor, a 12nm process and gets hotter.
The 3100 is newer, 7nm, but only has four cores/eight threads.
Rest of the system is 16Gb RAM, a B450 motherboard, GTX 1660 6Gb video card and a bunch of SSDs.
Main uses are regular office apps, some photo/video editing and X Plane 11.
Opinions all welcome - it seems pretty close based on everything I've read so far.
