i5 xxxx vs ryzen 5 1600

is there any real difference/performance increase in either or? there about the same cost so it would be interesting to know if its an actual difference or team red vs team blue. 

 

usage case : video editing, gaming, heavy cpu usage. 

 

if there the same, which is more cost effective ? assuming no overclocking on either.

1600, i5s are not worth getting anymore. 

 

the difference between them is comparing a i5 to an 5820k/6800k( ryzen 1600)

Are you getting paid for video editing? Go with the 1600.

Not getting paid? Go with a 1400 or i5/i7.

worth mentioning 7600k still has the edge in single threaded performance tho, not that it specificly applies to OP :P

My 3200MHz Vengeance LPX 16g kit set me back 130us right off the shelf. Even though it's not Samsung I'm able to hit 2933 with it easy. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I get better cinebench scores with my Corsair LPX kit at CL16 than my Trident-Z kit got at CL14. Few FPS in games as well.

The best overall CPU for pretty much everything is the R5 1600. It can game around I5 levels and perform 6850k levels in multi threaded workloads. Its a really excellent value.
