ryzen 5 3600x

compared to intel 9600K, is there a minor or major difference in performance

Depends on the program. In 6 or less threads i'd be really close(assuming both cpus are not starved for memory bandwidth and have good cooling for boost speeds), but with more threads the 3600x will start pulling ahead.

Actually, the answer to this is the Ryzen 3500/X: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ryzen-5-3500-price-release-date,40522.html
The problem is availability.

I guess one could just take the 3600/X and disable SMT...

According to the site you provided, the Ryzen 5 3500X is much better than i5 9400F

Eh?
Wasn't this about the 9600K though? The 3500/X at least matches the 9600K in core/thread count.

Yea. Question. Why do people consider intel processors to be better than amd ones?

1)Blind brand loyalty.

2)If one wants the absolute highest gaming performance regardless of the cost - even though Ryzen isn't even that far behind. A 3700X is within 10% of the 9900K's performance in games and is far more affordable.
Who's really going to miss a few fps when you can save literal hundreds with a 3600 or 3700X for games, and use that extra savings on a stronger gpu, extra storage, better power supply, etc - or you can hold it for later.

Can't forget how Ryzen 3000 stomps Intel in most productivity apps either.

There's very little reason to go Intel at the moment.
