120$ 3500x matching or besting 9400f and 3600x in Gaming Benchmarks

Thought this was neat, obviously this is somewhat a case of SMT On vs SMT Off between the 3500x and 3600, i'm sure if tested in a few specific titles the 3500x would look worse, but for those looking to get into Zen 2 on the cheap this seems pretty cool, so long as one is fine with using online markets which offer the chip, as its not widely available outside of China and India. 
 

I'm not as sold on the super cheap a320 mobos being used, but if budget is primary concern it seems to be fine for these cpus, better quality a320s still working well with 3700x, obviously 3900x is likely a no go

I am Actually waiting for mine to arrive her in Australia the 3600 is $315 and the 3500x cost me $179 Aud. So a $136 difference with exact gaming Preformance was a no brainier for me I'm going from a 1600 to a 3500x on a Asrock b450 pro4 mother board. 

 

I have used the a320 boards before and the r4.0 boards do the trick if your not over clocking and are on a tight budget.

Nothing to add except I love Tech YES City.
