intel vs amd

those are the prices in my country:

the 10600k is 338 dollars

the 10700k is 508 dollars

230 dollars more just for 2 extra cores and 4 extra threads

if im going amd ill get a 3700x and b550 aorus elite. it will be cheaper but i wont get high overclock capabilities like i can with intel and thats very important to me.

i can overclock a 10600k to 5.1ghz stable while the 3700x is pretty much maxed at 4.4ghz.

my plan is to get the 10600k and watch the prices of the 10700k and 10900k.

if in a year or 2 the prices of these 2 cpus will drop, ill sell my 10600k and get probably a 10900k to max out my motherboard.

thats if 11th gen will have a different socket or if they'll be very expensive.

if 11th and 12th gen will still be on lga1200 ill consider getting the i7 option of those gens.

Intel CPUs usually don't from msrp. 

 

Between the i5, i7 and i9 it is all about the GPU in games. 

My old i7 8086k(6 core) can beat a i9 10900k now in games if the i9 uses a lesser 2080 ti.  So to me it is what GPU you have that counts more.

That will only change if games use more cores.

saw some benchmarks online that say that an overclocked 10600k can perform closer to a stock 10900k

some of the games that i play like csgo and valorant are more cpu intensive so having a strong cpu is very important and clock speed itself is more important in valorant and i think in csgo also so going intel is really good for those games cause intel's cpus can really hold high clocks.

a 10600k can hold a 5ghz+ clock while a 3700x doesnt boot at 4.5ghz from what i saw

i just dont know if going from a 4c/4t to a 6c/12t cpu is really worth it in terms of the 2 extra cores, not threads(i know more threads is a high upgrade)

Ryzen 3700/3800 + B450 or B550(if PCI-E 4.0 is desired) is the best pick right now.

It is more than worth it.

Even a R 7 3700x would be a good upgrade for you when it comes to core strength. 

 

If you run Cinebench R15 single core bench your CPU scores around 128.  A R 7 3700x scores about 204 and a i5 10600k score a 215. Your CPU is not comparable the these two CPUs even on single core performance. 

Same goes for Pass Marks single thread test. Your CPU =  2001, 3700x = 2684 and 10600k = 2995.

 

Either upgrade is a win for you.
