Consider what you need most. 3500 is tailored for Asia users and offers a different setup than the standard 3600. For gaming and office tasks, your current rig runs smoothly with your PC. If you value extra performance for multitasking or future upgrades, the $59 premium might be justified. Otherwise, sticking with what you have works well for now.

SMT will give you more time, I’d charge a premium for it.

The R5 3500 at $140 seems overpriced. Better options include the R5 2600 or R7 2700. I think it's worth it to upgrade to the R5 3600 with SMT.

I checked YouTube, found a video, and spent a few minutes watching it. It seems you could save the money and invest in a 3500 when it comes to gaming. Essays and office work need only about 6 cores, and I don’t really understand what "project works" means.

Sure, I can rephrase that for you. It seems he's referencing a CPU not available in the US, suggesting his location isn't there. The prices he mentions might not apply to the US market.

Creating thousands of slides in PowerPoint is not feasible due to system limits. Consider preparing content in batches or using templates for efficiency.

This device consumes a lot of RAM, not the CPU.

I've used PowerPoint on a 2c/4t ultrabook, so I'm uncertain about the benefit of those extra 6 threads. If you use it often, it could make a difference. If it's only occasionally, skip it.

It seems the pricing uses $ symbols. I can only assume that based on this context.
