Ryzen 5 5600x equivalent

[Thingyman]

I was thinking about building a pc with a ryzen 5 5600X but as I’m kinda impatient wanted to know if there are any equivalent intel cpus for around the same price with similar gaming performance

i5 10600K or if you can afford it the i7 10700K, F variants works too since you don't need iGPU.

Not really. for gaming the closest would be a 10900K, but that is much more expensive. Around the same price would be a 10600K which is quite a bit slower than a 5600X, slightly above would be a 10700K which is still slower but better than the 10600K.

The Intel i5-10600k is the closest to the 5600x in gaming performance compared to price.

Get a 10400F, it’s a lot cheaper and nearly as good in gaming. For 1440p and 4K the difference would be almost none

Pretty much, single core wise all these processors are pretty much the same and 6c/12t is still perfectly adequate for anything mainstream.

It is incredible how GPU bound you're likely to be even at 1080p.

Dude. There are videos of the 10700k doing fine against the 5800x. Claiming you need an i9 for gaming a budget AMD chip equivalent is some fanboyism.

What does this look like https://youtu.be/iZBIeM2zE-I?t=182

What does this look like. A $300 CPU can outperform Intel's fastest processor. Intel isn't bad, it's just AMD is better.

 

(This isn't even cherry picking, look at the rest of the games they benchmarked.)

In some benchmarks, the 5600x is better than the 10900k.

Such as Blender.

 

In some games the 5600x s better than the 10900k.

 

But overall, this does not make the 5600x better in every way.

For $300 it can match or beat the best of Intel's lineup, it is much better value especially for gaming. There are no equivalent Intel CPUs for that price point.

But first of all, the 5600x is out of stock almost everywhere, and the 10900k is one of the fastest processors in the world.

 

The i9-10900k is better than the 5600x and the 3900x in some benchmarks.

The 10400F is virtually identical in 1440p and 4k while being much, much cheaper.

[Thingyman]

It seems like the i7 10700k is roughly equivalent to the 5600X for a similar price. I'll probably consider it but will most likely stick to AMD because I'm going to be waiting a while for a 3070 anyway.

FOr all and OP

 

5600x matches the 10900k and beats it slightly at games (overall average). 10900k is still one of the bets gaming cpus out there with high power usage of course.

5800x is 5600x with extra cores and 0-1% better gaming performance. wins any intel desktop cpu at workloads

5900x is 5600x with usually 1-2% better gaming perfromance and is one of the best cpus for workoloads.

5950x is 5900x with extra cores. Thats it.

intel 10th gen is very close to ryzen 5000 so they are still a good buy if the mobo and cooling costs the same or less than 5600x platform.
