You're trying to decide between two CPUs for your friend's build. He needs something powerful enough for gaming but also reliable for school tasks like Photoshop and video editing. You want to know when the R5 3600 starts falling behind the R7 2700.

2700x performs better than 3600 in multi-core tasks, yet 3600 surpasses 2700 under similar conditions. For users in the US, I recommend choosing 2700x rather than 3600x due to a $20 price difference.

Photoshop remains the primary tool, making the R5 3600 a better choice because most of its features run on a single-core architecture.

Only the older 8-core version gains faster video exporting speed. That's all.

I don't understand why people think current CPUs can't do something, like photo or video. That's simply not the case at all. It just takes longer. And, really, since he's not doing it in any great capacity, I wouldn't worry about it. Go with the 3600. It'll game better, and that's what he's doing the most.

video editing benefits from 8 cores, even if the basic Adobe suite uses fewer. If budget allows, the 3600 works well for those with limited resources. Consider the R7 4700 next year—it will surpass both mentioned CPUs. Invest in a solid motherboard that supports it later, and look for the most affordable option now. Avoid Intel; rumors suggest I9 10 cores with 20 threads will appear soon, making current Intel chips nearly outdated. They’ll regain competitiveness with Ryzen in terms of core count and threads, not price. Intel is usually very costly.

Yeah, I wasn't really saying it wouldn't be possible at all, I was basically saying at which point it's better to take a R7 2700 but yeah I understand you didn't get it. Also, he just showed me his current build and I think every CPU will beat his, he currently has a Pentium so yeah I don't think he'll get picky about it lmao
