[SOLVED] Which CPU is better ? (AMD VS INTEL)

[owenv27]

hello,

I am going to buy a new computer and I am in a dilemma between two CPU:

1. AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT AM4 Box (267$)
2. Intel Core i5 10400F / 1200 Tray (206$) - with CPU cooler it costs more money

my main use is for mid-range gaming and my memory card is Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16.
which one give me better performance ?

The 10400f comes with a cooler that is more than enough.Only the K CPUs have no cooler.
On newegg it's listed at $170 for the boxed version that includes a cooler while the 3600xt is listed at $330, where are you buying from?
If you see any difference or not will depend more on the GPU that you will use than it will do on the CPUs.

I can take 10400f with cooler. I was thought that intel cooler are not in good quality.
I buying it from my country ( Israel ) and the price of 3600xt is after discount ( black Friday) . the GPU that I am going to use is: GTX 1660 Super.

The 10400 will outperform all 3 of those on most games, TPU showing it 4.8% faster than the 3600XT at 1080P if you have a 2080 Ti or better (roughly eqivalent to a 3070).

A 1660 Super won't go CPU limited very much on any of them though - however if / when you upgrade you'll want the extra performance.

I am aslo buying I5 10400F and upgrading my Secondary PC with this.. because Ryzen 5 3600 isn't available at good prices.. (in my country India) so I choose i5 10400F and yes I have Hyper 212 turbo.. so I gonna use that with i5..

I also recommend you to use Cooler like Hyper 212 or Deepcool Gammax A400 for i5 10400F those are really silent cheap and good coolers..

They are not good for overclocking to 5Ghz with 8 or 10 cores, for the locked CPUs they are good enough.

for my requirements , I don't need more than 1660S and 2080 TI is too expensive for me , but good to know that. in the future I will definitely upgrade my CPU .

Yes, same in my country. Ryzen 5 3600 is more expensive and isn't worth the money. 10400F is cheaper and with similar performances. ( and good reviews ) .
coolerMaster Hyper 212 is the exactly what I want. thanks.

I am not going to overclock so its ok for me. thanks.

I have I5 10400F + Asus Prime H410M-E with Hyper 212 Turbo + 8GB 2666Mhz RAM, Trust me.. this CPU wreaks Ryzen 5 2600 (without overclock) and during gaming it never hit more than 70%... And Asus Prime Board is best in Budget for that Processor too.. as my VRM temps do not hit more than 67-70°C at Full load (stress tested for 45 mins)

I am happy with my I5 10400F..
