Top midrange AMD CPU offers strong performance and value.
You're evaluating CPU options for your build. The -R7 3700X offers more performance than the -R5 3600, while the -R7 3800X provides even higher speeds. Since you already have a 3600, switching to a 3700 or 3800X could be worthwhile depending on your budget and needs. Reviews often highlight differences in value, so consider what matters most—performance per dollar or immediate upgrade potential.
With a 3600, the choice of 3700 or 3800 seems unnecessary unless your software needs extra processing power.
I reach peak performance with multiple cores... these must be affordable these days? You can always gain more cores...
They should definitely be priced above the MSRP currently, isn't it? More importantly, the 3600 model looks solid, especially with your existing unit. If you start seeing high CPU usage (per core or overall) and performance drops, upgrading would make sense once prices have fallen a bit.
I don't know, it seems like a better deal than what I spent for my 3600... https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info....13645.html Also, I'm not the one asking lol.
Using Nvidia hardware encoding means you're already set up well for gaming and 4K video work. Any further improvements might be minimal.
Keep your funds for 5600x, 3700-3800 won’t make a big impact. I’ve applied 1600-2600 as a processing setting, it works fine since much work runs on the GPU.
