RYZEN 3 3100 VS RYZEN 5 3500X

[CLEVE]

IVE FOUND A RYZEN 5 3500X for the same price as ryzen 3 3100 which should i get?

[sgtballs]

For sure the Ryzen 5.  The Ryzen 5 series is the most popular CPU out there for a reason.  Best bang for your buck.

The 3500x is about on par with the 3100 so either is good.

NOT 3600X BUT 3500X 6 CORES 6 THREADS

...3500X? Are you Chinese, by any chance? 

I guess it'd depend on if your workloads favor overall thread count or physical cores.

if they are on par i think ill choose ryzen 3100 due to most softwares utilized 4 cores specially games

No im from the Philippines im currently doing 1080p editing and games and im currently running and amd a12-9800 sooo i really need an upgrade

Get the Ryzen 5 3500X. The 3100 has a suboptimal CCD layout and will perform significantly worse in all regards, especially gaming, due to the latency between the two dual-core CCXs.

Ah, fair enough. Maybe the 3500X would be a better choice? 

The problem here is that I really don't know the performance profile of the 3500X personally. Although, just going off of the fact that it has more physical cores (a useless metric in some scenarios, but considering that both CPUs are Zen 2 parts, it's useful enough to compare just off that), it might serve you better there.

 Pretty obvious, Ryzen 5 !!!!! given that your existing board supports it

THANK YOU SO MUCH,  IVE DECIDED TO GET THE RYZEN 5 3500X 

 

IS IT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET AN A520 MOTHERBOARD ?

3500x is better because cores are worth more than threads

3 core CCXes on the 3500x isnt any better for latency tbh

Yes but those may not even be cheaper than B450s.

Not much, but it's still an advantage. Combined with the two extra cores, the 3500X is an obvious choice.

 

The most obvious comparison to demonstrate the performance change is by comparing a 3100, 3300X, and 3600 side-by-side. The 3300X is competitive with a 3600 in many games; the 3100 is no where near.
