Absolutely not you can reach the 3600x's speed by giving the 3600 a teeny tiny overclock if that is what you want. The difference is minimal between them on stock.

Same story as the x just a teeny tiny extra bump over that. Between a 3600 and 3600xt you will barely (less than 5%) if at all see a difference. Why do you want to swap the cpu so badly?

Both are a 3600 that just got a very tiny clockspeed boost. The difference between all of them is almost nothing and not worth the extra price. If you want to you can easily reach the 3600x clock with a small overclock and if you did not get unlucky with the 3600 you have you can also easily reach the xt's speed. Just make sure you have the cooling to handle it.

Nope. Same goes for the XT.
