i5 7600k and Ryzen 1600x are the same price, Which is better?

 

[Nathan Ralston]

For what? Gaming only, 7600k. For gaming and other things, or running a bunch of things while gaming, 1600.

 

[Berlyn Robert G Tumaneng]

Intel

 

[Brandon Daniels]

So for gaming only i5 or i7

 

[Joseph DiMarco]

Don't buy an i5 in 2017 lol

 

[Nathan Ralston]

actually, if you are gonna go intel, you might as well wait for 8th gen. The i5's are 6/6 instead of 4/4.

Edit: and they are due out this month. supposedly the 5th

 

[Buddy Blackburn]

Gaming depends on resolution, if 1080p go Intel, if 1440p go Ryzen. Your mainly GPU bound at higher resolutions..

 

[JJ Risk]

the i5 has next to no actual adv over the R5 in gaming, even at 1080p, but you get the advantage of more cores and better socket support. 7600k/1151 is a dead socket. there is no reason to go i5 in 2017.

 

[Adalid Fuentes]

Wait for 8600k you get two extra cores for the same price as the 7600k.also intel OC better

 

[Nathan Ralston]

take this with a grain of salt

[Tiaan van der Merwe]

i5 7600k

 

[Marin Zvonek]

ryzennnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Tomas Filipavicius]

Ryzen

 

[Adalid Fuentes]

Ryzen is dead in late 2017.go for coffee lake

 

[James Keller II]

Quad cores are slowly losing market relevance. Newer games will utilize more cores as the market grows so go with the 1600

 

[Kostas Nickname Blaze]

both are the same dont worry at all just buy the cheapest

 

[André Ewert]

7600K is on a dead platform, 1600X will be replaceable with an 8-Core in 2020.
