Comparing Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 5 3500X depends on your needs. You're currently using an 1300X with GTX 1660 for gaming and multitasking. For high-performance gaming like Apex, R6, COD Warzone, and titles such as Battlefield, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Metro, you'll want a processor that handles both gaming and work smoothly. The Ryzen 5 3500X offers better multi-core performance and higher base clock speeds, making it more suitable for demanding tasks alongside gaming. If you prioritize multitasking while gaming, the Ryzen 5 might be a safer choice, but if you're mainly focused on gaming, the 3300X could still perform well.

The R5 3500x outperforms the R4.

Typically in gaming, the 6/6 offers superior performance because of stronger single-core processing. Still, numerous programs use multi-threading, which is also common in gaming.

I plan to go with 3500x, though I understand it might be exclusive in China.

There might be a black market in Bangladesh.

They essentially do the same thing, so you choose the more affordable option.

Using the faster clocks of the 3300X would be more beneficial. The multithreaded performance gain is negligible.

The two options are quite similar. I’d pick the more affordable one and use any extra cash for your gaming card. The 3500X was also well-liked in India, which suggests Bangladesh and other South Asian markets likely had it too.

I favor the 3300X because it brings all cores under one CCX, ensuring a 6-core setup remains intact. It offers much faster performance (+200 MHz overall), and SMT could deliver more than a 50% improvement. (My Athlon 3000G shows around +68% in CPU-Z, though this depends on the task.) The main drawback is with applications that don’t handle SMT well, leading to fewer results, plus reduced cache size.
