I've been comparing the Ryzen 5 3600 and i7 8700K. The i7 tends to be faster, about 10 fps more. You could get a used i7 8700K with a month's supply (including MOBI) for the same cost as a used Ryzen 5 3600 (MOBI included). Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!
Consider other tasks beyond gaming to utilize the CPU effectively.
Both models score 6 out of 12, and the 8700k features a faster clock speed. While Ryzen typically leads in core count versus Intel, this isn't the case here. Still, the market value for these parts exists. The motivation behind selling the 8700k could be significant.
