Intel i3 13100F vs Ryzen 5 3600?

[serpentslayer]

Microcenter has a deal for a new r5 3600 and b450m ds3h for $130

[roamer]

I3 13100f went on sale for like $65 2x at best buy

[Sjwidh]

Bro believe me or not, I bought a r5 3600 for 45 bucks on the marketplace, and a 6700 xt for 220 bucks. My whole pc only cost me 600 bucks 😂

[claimdud]

Absolutely true especially for the bent pines ones you can get them really cheap and just bent the pins back to normal and you have a very decent cpu

[kabom]

The 13100f also has better single core performance

I built my pc a few years ago with a ryzen 5 3600 and 3060ti. I play at 1440p with everything maxed out, except brand new games even then it's all ultra/high settings. This is a seriously good CPU.

Ryzen 5 5600x in used market cheaper than i3 13gen
That's a big win

Especially at this low price point, your choice of graphics card is what really matters. In most cases, you'll be pairing a lower end card with CPUs like this, which means in gaming your performance will be so similar that CPU choice doesn't matter. And if you're a power user, doing video editing and such, why would you be looking at CPUs like these?

In my country new r5 3600 costs 65 dollars ( converting from today's exchange rate from my country's currency), it is cheap

It would help if you also provided the price of a brand new 3600, which is about the same as the i3 13100F, with the stock CPU cooler, and much cheaper without it. So even buying new, with no risk for bent/missing pins, the Ryzen 5 3600 is, at the very least, on equal footing with the i3 13100F, depending on what you want the CPU for (5 FPS vs more overall performance). And that's ignoring the fact that for that same price tag or less you can get Ryzen 5 4600G and even 5600. Provide all the information next time.

I think the chipset paired with cpu and ram would make the biggest difference. Not the cpu alone

[open_minded]

For some reason, on the Canadian market, the I3 is going for $200 while the ryzen 5 3600 is only $130, I went for the ryzen 5 3600

Overclock your 3600
Its boost clock goes up to 4.2ghz, but if you just overclock it to always run at 4.2ghz, itll do it happily.

I run mine at 4.25ghz base and boost, barely draws any more power, does 8-11% better, stays cool enough that the fan is still basically silent.

I searched for ages for a 3600 in that price area, they just don't exist! Ended up buying a new one for the same as the used ones were going for on ebay

[ion]

I have a ryzen 5 3600 and i like it.
It is so cheap these days, even brand new is kinda cheap and i would recommend it if you want to build a mid range pc

[tH_bpLr]

I got a steal on a like new 3200G for $30 and am planning on pairing it with an rx 580 and flipping it for a profit.

People need to realize that just about ANY modern CPU is enough for gaming. GPU is where you want to spend a little extra money if you can. But unless your trying to game at 4k.... Any modern GPU and CPU will play ANY game at 1080p.

What is better? Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 5 4500?

[ProbeRBLX]

Bro also the motherboard price would highly differ

[Lucius]

5000/4000 Ryzen its been selling at a great value for a while now, I think it is worth considering that before buying an older one. On the other hand, you will problably get better features, better support and more room to upgrade if you go with the 13th gen i3.
