Yes, modern processors handle unusual tasks quite effectively. The performance drop would typically stay under a few percent.
200 is correct, though the main score was around 490 to 500. When this feature is turned on, it lowers the single-core result to about 470. I believe with it enabled, my R5 3600 matches the single-core but remains 100 points behind in MC... :I
These minor variations aren't significant in single benchmark tests. What are your thoughts on WPrime 1.55? Does anything affect performance with superpi mod 32m (useful for memory settings)? Have you run any 3D benchmarks? (I mean, CB won't be the only factor here)
I really value all the responses you've given. I wasn't expecting this. Many people think Intel is better for gaming with fewer issues, but will it perform well when running several background apps at the same time? This might seem like a confusing question—I just wanted to confirm that I'm only using my PC for gaming, not for other tasks. For you, that's definitely more than just playing games! Thanks a lot for your help!
Twelve threads can manage a game on Discord, Chrome, Spotify and other background tasks without issue. It’s not something to stress over much. Costs differ quite a bit by region, but using German pricing from PCPP here’s a good guide for your budget:
- Intel Core i5-10600K 4.1 GHz 6-core – €273.79 (Mindfactory)
- Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU cooler – €69.90 (Amazon Deutschland)
- MSI MAG Z490 ATX motherboard – €215.47 (Alza)
Shipping, taxes, rebates and discounts are included in the listed total of €559.16.
For better VRM performance, consider the Z490 Gaming Edge WIFI (ATX) or the Z490 Vision G, which offers more rear I/O and a sleek white look. If you need extra threads for future upgrades, options like the X570 Tomahawk, B550 Aorus Pro, B550 Gaming Edge WIFI/Tomahawk, or Strix B550-F are worth checking out.
10600k stands out as the top choice for unlocked Intel chips. Go with it unless you prefer locked i5/i7; AMD is the clear winner. 3600 & 3700X are solid overall, but for gaming at 1080p with a 2080Ti, performance matters more. Comet Lake’s strength comes from clock speeds, so if a game demands heavy floating-point usage, a Ryzen will outperform.
