Compare Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 5 3500X models.
3500x offers a better value since cores are more beneficial than threads. The 3-core CCXs on 3500x don’t significantly improve latency, though they might not be cheaper than B450 models.
Not much, but it remains an edge. Paired with the two additional cores, the 3500X stands out clearly. To highlight the performance boost, comparing a 3100, 3300X, and 3600 side by side is effective. The 3300X matches up well against a 3600 in many titles; the 3100 falls far behind. Cheers
