Who would win???

[Dreamer758]

In gaming who would win in gaming and OC 2600 4.1 all core or a factory 3700x 3.6 all core 4.4 single core boost? Hypothetically speaking 

[Skiiwee29]

3700x easily would win.

Yes, the higher clocked and higher corecount 3700x would win...............

 

And unless you have a completely crap mobo (you should at least have the B450 pro4). You can allways just OC both.

Yea but it’s only on 1 core while the 2600 is all core my mobo only a 4 phase held up well with the 2600 not sure I want to push an 8 core on OC yet will wait for Black Friday for new mobo

why would you intentionally turn off all but 1 core on a 3700X? ._.

No what I mean is that it only boosts one core at 4.4ghz the rest at 3.6 on factory settings

depends on the game

With Ryzen, each board has a power limit setting (TDC) and the board will push the frequency past base clock but below max turbo as long as it's drawing less than TDC regardless of core count. TDC is not TDP, so the same CPU boost differently on different boards.

1. Singlecore boost isnt everythinh
2. The 3700x should on paper not consumer more than the 2600 and have some OC headrooom
3. 4 phase does not tell the entire story. What mobo is it?
4. Multicore boost is a thing
5. Temporary higher boost with XFR2 is a thing
6. Also Zen 2 has IPC improvements. Clocks are far from the only important thing.
7. 7nm lower powerconsumption

What im getting is that the 3700x will win in more or less every scenario, while consuming much less power than an overclocked 2600.
