Question Upgrade from Ryzen 5 1600

[french_guy]

Hello

I bought ~2 years ago a used Ryzen 5 1600 for cheap ($30)
I don't game, but encode videos (rip blurays to mkv with MakeMKV then transcode to mp4 with Handbrake)
What would be a good CPU upgrade to see a noticeable difference in speed to encode, without breaking the bank?
I'm OK to buy used, unless there is a super current deal for new
My mobo is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2
Thanks

I imagine a 5600 or 5700x would be a nice upgrade for you.

Ryzen 5 5600 or 5700x?

Right the Ruben 5 5600 or ryzen 7 5700x. Both are relatively low power draw and should be easy to cool but being zen 3 vs zen should give a nice performance improvement for not a lot of cost.

I'm considering getting a Ryzen 7 5700X ($170 at Microcenter). Again, my main objective is to encode DVDs and Blurays faster with Handbrake
Obviously, I want to stay with AMD then I don't need to change my motherboard. Is there any other choice than R7 5700x under $200 (for exemple, will the R5 5600X3D be faster for $30 more?)
Thanks

For your usage, the 5600x3d, whilst a great gaming CPU, would get slightly slower results, due to the 5700x having more cores and threads. The 5700x is a very competent gamer too. Not quite as fast as the 5600x3d (in some games~), but it's equal or better in more CPU intensive games/work.

Nice thread necro hah, for handbreak it looks like the extra cache on the X3D does help out, but i cant say whether itll make as big a difference as the extra threads. Honestly if you can pickup a 5900X it looks like it may be your most balanced choice for that, otherwise i would go with the 5700X.

The best one I've seen recently was on a dreamcast forum, it revived a thread from 2004, 20 year necro FTW hah.
