Any other opinions? Is AMD Ryzen 5 1600 good for those games I listed?

Sorry to keep chirpin, but the 2600 is superior to both, hell I think the 2600x is only like 10 bucks more.  Why are we even still discussing 14nm processors?

[Premoz1]

2600x is 230€ in finland, and Amd ryzen 5 1600 is the best I can afford for my budget. As I already said, my budget is 800-900

gotcha, was unaware finbro

[Premoz1]

So its obvius that I buy 1600 in this case?

[Premoz1]

So I buy amd ryzen 5 1600?

Get the i5. If you want to stream, get thr r5. Forget folks that says you can overclock on ryzen 5. It wouldn't give you +100 fps. At most it's gonna be +5 fps. So overclocking doesn't matter. 

 

Funny that now everyone seems to love overclocking even though it's like an increase of 5%.

uhh okay.. Just weird that people say that intel is for streaming and video editing, and ryzen for gaming... I just watched couple of cpu comparison, i5-8400 vs amd ryzen 5 1600 and intel had more fps in EVERY game they tested.. And 1600 is little bit more expensive too, but it has lower fps. But I usually use discord, the game I play at that moment, and chrome turned on when I play, so do I need those extra cores that 1600 gives? Or are 6 cores and 6 threads enough for game, disc and browser? Fps matters me for real, and 8400 gives more fps so does that mean that I get that 8400?

Can I get answers please

Both are locked coffee lake, but the 8700 has faster single and quad core speeds.

The i7-8700 has more L3 cache, thats why.

 

Bigger L3 cache means that core will outperform another core of the same microarchitecture at the same clock rate in almost any situation.

Idk man youve started a buttload of threads to ask the same question 50 different ways all of which seem to have been answered too.

 

I even picked out a complete build using a Finnish website.

 

Something like "intel is for video editing and ryzen is for gaming" isnt true at all and idk how you got that from what anyone said. If anything the opposite is true, though either one plays games just fine and edits video just fine too.

 

If youre looking to become a computer expert spend two decades studying and then applying the knowledge like i have? Idk what else to tell you.

[Aldoarip]

Maybe this will help you.

Amazonsucks, you just said the thing I should do.. Spend 2 decades learning. I am learning all this time by asking. And I heard that few guys from this site that said that ryzen is for gaming and intel for video editing... But should I get 1600 cuz it has more threads, few fps doesnt matter?

Well ive been answering them in multiple threads. 

 

If you go back to the very first build i used an i3-8370k because it has good single core performance and its inexpensive and its 4GHz as well.

 

Ryzen is good too, but probably wont give you as high single core performance. The 1600 has more threads which is good if you can make use of them, but playing games usually wont make use of SMT. Ryzen also USED TO be picky with RAM. Someone more up tp date on Ryzen than me can tell you if it still is.

 

Ryzen 5 1600 has 6 cores and 12 threads vs 4 for an i3 or 6 physical cores for an i5 with no SMT. Clock speed and single core performance matter to most games though.

 

So it really becomes: what do you want to get? Ultimately you have to make the decision.
