Ryzen 5 3600 vs Intel i5-11400f (Can consider the 11400 or the 11500 if it's really worth it)

R5 3600 price: S$300

i5 11400f price: S$225

 

Mostly gaming, light editing too

Gpu: 3060Ti 

What do you suggest i get for the most fps and highest performance lol

 

Need it for a friend's build!

The 11400f is a faster overall CPU afaik. If it's also cheaper that's a no-brainer imo.

Thanks! So used to recommending AMD in the higher ends I was ultra-confused haha. Also is the 11500 a good upgrade if it is STILL lesser than the R5?

I looked at some benchmarks and it's:
11400 < 3600 < 11500
The 11400 seems to have a better single thread performance because of it's higher clock frequency, but I guess AMD is better at multi threading.

My build:

CPU

Intel Core i7 9700 8x 3.00GHz So.1151

 

CPU cooler

be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim

 

Motherboard

MSI B360-A PRO Intel B360 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX

 

RAM

16GB (4x 4096MB) HyperX FURY black DDR4-2666

 

GPU

8GB Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 WindForce 2X 3xDP/HDMI

 

SSD

500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280

 

HDD

4000GB WD Red WD40EFRX Intellipower 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s

 

Power Supply

bequiet! Straight Power 750W Platinum

 

Case

Fractal Design Define R6
3x bequiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM

Thank you! I don't really use multi-threading much. So I will go for the 11400!

The 11500 seems like the same CPU with 200Mhz more clock speed. I wouldn't expect a significant upgrade over the 11400.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
