I frequently run emulators and understand they depend heavily on single-core speed. I want to know if I can push it to achieve over 500 single-core scores on Cinebench R20 by overclocking.

Sure, give it a shot and see what happens.

V-core should stay at or below 1.32v

I'm considering purchasing it. If not, I'll opt for the 3300x. It will mostly be used for emulators.

The more affordable option tends to be preferable, possibly even the less expensive Ryzen models such as the 2200G, though you might find satisfaction in opting for a 3100 instead.

It's worth noting that in Turkey, 3600 is more affordable compared to the 3300x.

Confirm the 3600 value next. There are 12 threads, and the IPC per core for these processors should be around 5% at most based just on their clock speeds.

Fair point. Based on the details, the 3300X and 3600 behave quite alike in a single-core setup. It’s usually wiser to opt for the 3600 instead. I don’t suggest relying on an OC during a CPU purchase either.
