Ryzen 5 2700 vs 3600

[MultiMigo]

Cinebench R15 scores for the Ryzen 3600 are 1600cb and the Ryzen 2700 are 1200cb

 

In real world experiences are they much different? I use Premiere Pro, which is better? The 2700 is cheaper though.

Oooh hard one... single thread vs multicore... can the 2700 be OCed? They do it better than ryzen 2.

Ryzen 3600 is better, especially if you are gaming.

[Triboal]

Ryzen 3600 will probably be better given the much better single core performance compared to the 2700.

3600 is way better for actual gaming, if that was your intent.  If gaming wasn't your intent i'd usher you towards it just because its easier to find DRAM for, Ryzen 2000 compatability issues likely means you'll overspend for worse performing ram.  That said if you had DDR4 laying around 3000-3200 speed which was already on QVL for mobo you were looking for + Ryzen 2000 you can get within like 10%ish of 3600, and would be more ideal for streaming, a few applications like video editing arguably. 

Examples of some nice cheap, high speed ram 99% of Ryzen 3000cpus and mobos will XMP happily with.

I agree. Gaming and even some work on the side, the 3600 is pretty awesome. If you do have a company, and your soul purpose is to create a workstation, go with the 2700 just to save $60.

 

That said if all you do is premiere pro or davinci or any other multithreaded workloads, I can vouch that the 2700 will put ahead by like 20 seconds for encoding. This is with 3200 ram (don't expect anything higher than 3000-3200 CL16 performance) but for workloads, it is justifiable. Paired with a cheap aorus or msi b450 matx board for $80 and the cpu being $180 and $150 for 32 GB (4x8) crucial 3200 CL16 (or even cheaper 3000 mhz ram and save another $20)....it is a good time for a cheap workstation.

 

For around $600-650 you can have a workstation that use to cost $1500

I use the 3600 and I used to own the 2200g and I noticed a huge jump in performance. The two who stated that if you are gaming and slight work on the side are right. I never used the 2700 but this is just from my experience of using the 3600
