Question Which processor should I buy?

[Shamanth_manjunath]

I have a MSI b450 Pro m2 V2 and I'm planning to buy a new processor and I need help choosing between Ryzen 5 2600 vs Ryzen 5 3500 3rd gen. Both the processors are priced same about 160 USD.

Between the two I'd get the 2600 for the extra threads.

I can't find the detailed specs of the Ryzen 5 3500 though...and thanks for the info..I'll go for the 2600

The information we have now shows 6C/6T on the 3500. The 2600 is 6C/12T and with some overclocking you should be able to get near 3500 performance (on each core).

I live in India and MD Computer is offering this processor. Sure I'll try to overclock

Even if you didn't overclock I doubt the performance difference would even be noticeable so no worries.
