2600X vs 6700K

[AYDANN6ix9ine]

So I have an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor that runs a 4.1ghz overclock with stability. Would an i7 6700K with let's say a 4.5ghz OC be able to outperform the R5 in gaming. If so, by how much? Would it be able to beat the R5 in productivity and video editing. Which would be better overall for the price? I'm just curious.

In some games the 6700K at 4.5GHz would be up to 10% faster but I think overall it would fall behind, in productivity and video editing it'll definitely be far behind the 2600X.

It's rather close in gaming

Depends on the game engine, but you're almost assuredly GPU bound before that.

boy it's been a while since i thought about OC on a 6700k. As I recall, my delidded Skylake hit 4.8 GHz all core fairly responsibly under an AIO on a Z170-A board. I agree 10%, though perhaps is conservative, but really it depends on the title. Productivity there's no contest. the 8 threads of Skylake vs the 12 cores of Zen... it'll fall behind. I have some CB15 scores up here somewhere, maybe the classified thread for my CPU. 2600x gets in the 1400's whereas i think my Skylake was in the low 1000's.
