[SOLVED] this cpu or the other

[MrGoblino]

should i buy a 3700x or a 5600x?

 

[mdd1963]

5600X is faster at gaming, and, because of IPC improvements, often as fast or faster even in productivity/rendering apps that thrive on cores/threads....

Buy a 3700x if you do content creation.

Buy a 5600x if you play games.

Buy a 5800X if you do both. Actually, buy a 5900X but they're not easy to get hold of.
