8700k is the faster one

the 3600 is usually th cheaper one. 

 

there is a performance difference, but its not huge. 

 

 

edit: in otherwords, your question dumb without any other info around it.

3600 is nearly half the price and performs pretty much the same, and comes with a free cooler, and is more efficient. For 99.9999999% of people, the 3600 is the better option. The rest are the people who need iGPU, don't trust AMD because it's hot and slow despite the fact it isn't hot and slow, or prefer to spend twice as much because they want a 5% performance improvement in games (Not sure why you'd do that, but there are people with that thinking so..)

The 8700K is about 5% faster.

 

The 3600 is much cheaper, runs much cooler, uses way less power, has an upgrade path all the way up to 16 cores (the i7 is on a dead socket so you need a new board if you want more cores in the future). The Ryzen also doesn't suffer from the 6-7 serious security vulnerabilities plaguing intel CPUs due to the hyper threading exploits. 

 

Basically, the 3600 is the superior product

Yes, definitely get the 3600.

R5 3600 FTW. You get pretty much the same performance in games and programs for only half the price. Plus you get quite decent cooler. Go for 3600 or consider 3600X if price isn't much higher.

for Stability

?

 

they both run the same code, they will both have the exact same trigger points for crashes. so either. it also depends on workload and such. please elaborate, you are missing out on so much info for us to give a good answer.

Is there a good reason for Intel'si i7 8700k. Nearly double the price of  Ryzen 5 3600. ??

The only reaspn to get the 8700k is for Adobe or if you are a diehard intel fan and follow the fact the 9600k and 9700k are bad buys.

 

In other words. Not really. 

 

Offcourse price is a major factor here. If they cost the same, offcourse get the 8700k.

As much as I love Intel, the 3600 will be close if not on point with the performance of the 8700k while being half the price. Ryzen is a pretty well crafted CPU and I'm sure there won't be any compatibility issues.

 

Although, if you have the budget for the 8700k I would personally choose that. 

 

It all really depends on personal preference and what your budget is. Both are great options that should give you a enjoyable experience in gaming and productivity.

No, intel CPUs are heavily overpriced ATM.

I not sure whatever you meant ! If I have to choose between those 2 CPUS then I would pick the Ryzen one cuz of prices, Upgradeability , but in term of gaming performance Intel tend to do better ! your choice....

The i7 8700K has been on the market since 2017... what you're seeing is left overs as Intel has ended 8th gen production in favor of the 9th gen i7 9700K, there are reasons to buy Intel over AMD, but if you're just an average joe looking to play some games and do usual desktoping, the R5 3600 is exactly what you're after.
