Ryzen Difference

The 5600X has 6 cores and 12 threads just like the 3600, but is faster overall. Has all of the improvements that Zen 3 has over Zen 2 such as higher IPC and a unified cache system for better core-to-core latency. The 3600 is doing me just great, but the 5600X is better. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

They are both great CPUs. The 5600X takes what was great and makes it better. Of course you pay for it though.. some people say 6 cores is the new 4 core.. maybe.. but there is more to life than cinebench.. and I was playing with my 5600X yesterday and it’s a fun little cpu.
