However, the 5600x is currently unavailable at most retailers, while the 10900k stands out as one of the most powerful processors available. The i9-10900k outperforms the 5600x and the 3900x in certain tests.
It's nearly the same quality at 1440p and 4k but significantly more affordable.
It looks like the i7-10700K is about the same as the 5600X at a comparable cost. I might take a look at it, but I’ll probably go with AMD since I expect a 3070 to arrive soon.
For all and OP 5600x matches the 10900k and slightly outperforms it in most games (average). The 10900k remains a strong option among gaming CPUs, despite its higher power consumption. The 5800x offers the same 5600x with additional cores and about 0.1% better gaming speed, making it suitable for any Intel desktop CPU under heavy workloads—usually improving performance by 1-2%. The 5950x matches the 5900x with extra cores. Intel’s 10th generation CPUs are nearly comparable to Ryzen 5000, so they’re still worth considering if your budget allows for similar motherboard and cooling costs or less than the 5600x platform.
