AMD Ryzen 5 3600X vs Intel Core i5-12600K

The 3600 acts at 117 FPS average lowers within reasonable run to run variants of the others. This results positions the r5 3600 as 1.7 percent. The he...

In general faster in gaming, especially CPU bound titles like CSGO, but Forza Horizon 4 and Far Cry 6 also showed improvement.

6GHz boost, and it has the same 95-watt rated power consumption. It's also overclockable, like the AMD part.

Hopefully after this crypto boom I’ll be able to snag a ryzen 5th gen combo for cheap. My intel can fix this but it will be years before this happens. They are too busy playing catch up. The power efficiency is terrible and the whole experience is about as bad as it gets

I'm afraid to run FurMark, because it recently fried one of my cards, so you'll have to excuse me for not using it. Regardless, I think these numbers are not too bad, considering that we only have two small rads and the tiny fans that are running at only up to around 50 percent speed at these temps and aren't that loud, leaving a bit more headroom for cooling if I ever want to blast the fans at 100%.

I’m so glad I decided to step up from the 12600T I was planning on using to the 12600K, which is the cheapest Intel CPU that has the efficiency cores. I was nervous at first, because my plan was to build a low-ish power, 100% passively-cooled, internal GPU, no moving parts PC for use in my bedroom, where my previous computers were annoyingly loud. I used a Noctua NH-P1 passive cooler and a Seasonic PX-500 fanless PSU, and my system is not only 100% silent, it turns in impressive benchmark numbers and never gets close to throttling temperatures even after sustained Cinebench runs. I run my system at -130 mV, with no overclocking, and CPU power consumption peaks at about 100 W, while idle CPU power consumption is less than 2W

Since I am new to learning about PC's, I was wondering if this build would be good for gaming and recording/streaming. Hopefully everything is compatible with each other, if anyone could reassure that then thank you!

Stock memory support, though does include either 3200 or Ddr5 4800. And recently I looked at Ddr5 6000 performance with the Core I9 12900k and found t...

The 3600 X versus the 1600 X and then just for fun, we're gon na throw it all up against an i7 8700 K just to see how things stack up. Comparing these...

Its score is still down from the 12 900 K thanks to no Turbo Boost 3.0 support and lower peak clock speeds across the board, but it's still a convinci...

That's pretty insane, in two years AMD has increased performance at the $200 price point by almost 50%. The single core performance is equally impress...

Additionally, the motherboards for the 12600k can cost over twice as much as that of the 5600x ones. It basically just makes more sense to go with the 5600x at the time of this review, because both CPUs are the same price of $300. The 12600k is not a bad CPU, it's just that the 5600x is considerably more affordable and efficient for the same performance as the 12600k.
