Ryzen 5 2600x vs ryzen 5 2600 vs i5 8400
Hi there,
I need help with my choice ,if there is any person who knows something about hardware...
So the doubt is what should i buy to upgrade my PC.
should i go with ryzen 5 2600x (or ryzen 5 2600 which is less expensive) with
Gigabyte AMD GA-B450M-DS3H AM4 and 16 gb hyper x fury 3200 mhz ram

or should i go with I5 8400 with Gigabyte Intel H310M H S1151 and 16 gb hyper x fury 2666 mhz ?

i am mostly playing multiplayer games like pubg,cod,bf1,bf5,rust,WOW,WOT,LOL....
I already have a gpu which is Gtx 1070 gigabyte extreme ....
So whats the best solution?
And curreantly i am using i7 2600 with 16 gb ddr3 which seems like bottleneck :(

The support for the new Ryzen 3000 series is already rolling out. The only real question is if all boards will follow or only a select group. And of course if PCIe 4.0 will be implemented on the 400 series boards. Simply accusing manufacturers of being greedy when the AM4 socket is still relevant is misleading and doesn't account for AGESA, which is developed by AMD.

You called him an AMD fanboy because he chose the R5 2600 over the i5-9400F, which he did because the former CPU fits well in an overall cheaper build (as the 9400F can't be overclocked without a Z370 or Z390 chipset motherboard, which drives up the price of the build as a whole and can limit spending for other components like the GPU when you're on a 1000$ budget) while still capable of delivering comparable performance and a better value for the money spent. He was arguing that AMD is the better option, so you called him a fanboy as so many others do whenever someone defends a particular brand when they have nothing else to say to dispute it. I can not make it more clear than this.

You don't need to stoop even lower by insulting someone else's intelligence, and that doesn't speak well for your own intelligence either. It shows that you're just running out of information to argue with and you're resorting to basic retaliation.
Well, i5 9400F is a locked CPU, can't be overclocked with what ever motherboard. That said, when paired with a cheap 300-series motherboard, it's actually good budget option for gaming. Probably even slightly better in gaming than current gen Ryzen.
But of course Ryzen is a better all-rounder. And current motherboards can support future Ryzen 3000 series which seems will have large performance gain. So better upgradeability for Ryzen.

Yeah, you're right. I incorrectly read that it was unlocked, thanks for clearing that up.
Still doesn't change the fact that XFR2 makes the 2600 a better chip overall for only 10$ more, and the rest of the system would still cost less as well.

Zen 2 is expected to bring superior IPC, so fingers crossed, because it'll force Intel to make actual progress for once instead of releasing side-step upgrades.

That's ^^^ all fine and good arguing for 4 pages about the Ryzen 2600x vs 9400f but where the hell is my DDR5 platform, for crying in the soup at least argue about something worth while.

Likely not getting DDR5 until after 2020.

As it is a FPU.

3. I gave the standard procedure for calculating theoretical peak performance. When you discuss graphics, this value is constantly used almost as a main parameter when comparing the performance of video cards (in the absence of real tests). And in this case, for some reason, this does not bother you at all.

Because what should bother for the OP is the synthetic test with games, not the "theoretical" performance of a reduced instruction set. If you want to test FPU perf, go on but test all the FPU instructions, not just a single set (and as I said, on real tests there isn't that big distance between performance for floating point operations).

And following your premise, what you are getting on "the papers" it just cannot be visualized on the real tests, but that doesn't bother you at all for some reason.

Sorry, but this makes no sense. At all. First, modern compilers for many years do not generate FPU instructions at all. And CPUs have very poor support for these instructions.
And, btw, you're very wrong about real tests. All depend on tests. You just do not know tests where Zen sucks.

It's irrelevant either way because in all real-world applications, Zen is just fine, and superior for the price compared to similar graded builds from Intel. That's all that actually matters.

Are datacenters, HPC workstations and supercomputers a real world things? Or they are just a myth? What is Zen daracenter market share? Why is it so low if "2600 is the best value of the bunch"?

Seriously? You're going to bring supercomputers and datacentre level systems into a discussion about CONSUMER-GRADE hardware? That has no relevance here because there is a big difference between the two, and you're never going to find even a 9900K in a datacenter or supercomputer because the hardware is very different.

Also, when people talk about real-world applications, they're talking about consumers using consumer-grade hardware in applications typically used daily, and gaming, not datacenters and supercomputers and the workloads those are constantly running, nor does it have any relevance to the average user who just wants a basic PC, gaming system, workstation, or streaming system. You're just spouting information that doesn't even matter to the average user and always disputing people when they say that the 2600 is the best value CPU on the market at the moment, which it is. Even LinusTechTips and Jayztwocents covered this, and the data shows that AMD Ryzen has a better price-to-performance value in the low to mid range spectrum, with Intel only coming out on top in the very high end when you consider performance above budget entirely. Even in HPDTs with Threadripper, AMD holds strong with their performance value for the cost.

It's not rocket science unless you're rich and don't care about spending way more than you need to. Ryzen is enough for anyone from the average user to a higher end user; nobody needs to spend more on Intel when the performance differences are close enough that you won't actually notice a significant difference. That's why people chose the R5 2600 over Intel's 8th gen i5s, it was less costly up until the 9400F released in January, and even then, you can't overclock the 9400F at all while the 2600 has XFR2, PB, and potentially PBO which raises voltage limits if your motherboard supports it, allowing automatic overclocking features to push the 2600 beyond it's turbo clock of 3.9 GHz, and easily towards 4.1~4.2, allowing it to close the gap in gaming performance between itself and the 9400F, which puts even less value in Intel's favor with that CPU. It also has SMT, so the 12 threads of the R5 2600 and 2600X make it more valuable for streaming and more multi-threaded workloads that would gain benefit from more than 6 threads that the 9400F offers.

If Intel works best for the type of work you do, that's fine. You can recommend Intel based on that. But using market share against the 2600 is a weak argument.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2019/04/09/amds-ryzen-5-2600-outsells-every-other-desktop-cpu-as-intel-loses-market-share/#7a13e08b356b

I do think the 9400f has very good performance at a reasonable price so long as you don't plan on streaming. In gaming it beats the 2600 in a lot of benchmarks.

But I would still wait to see the benchmarks for Zen2 before making a purchase.

Also have to consider XFR2 and pricing of a Ryzen 5 2600 build vs an Intel i5-9400F build. Generally, Ryzen is cheaper and of higher cost value.

So whats the best solution?
And curreantly i am using i7 2600 with 16 gb ddr3 which seems like bottleneck :(
Keep your i7 2600 until the 3000 series is out and upgrade then.

Complete platform cost and performance between AMD and Intel for gaming is very competitive. It's kinda a wash. 3000 series won't be worse though so .. That's what you should focus on for new stuff (of course you could buy the 2600(X) system used if someone upgrade.)

I assume you can live with the i7 2600 for the small time which is left.

Ok, you take whatever I say in the way you want... Can we agree that your theoretical measure you calculated is only based on reduced instruction set? Do you understand that when I say "FPU instruction" is just a FP operation?

Regarding test, all what I can say is that for the same price (and sometimes less) Ryzen has a good value. If you want to argue that for scientific operations the Intel CPU has advantage, go on with that but understand that in a context of a Steam discussion it has no sense. I mean, is the same that I say that Ryzen is better just because it beats Intel for video compression without even asking the end user if he will be running such tasks on his cpu... give me a break.

What about A series? What about other manufacturers?
Do you realize that if one of the manufacturers declares that certain models of its products are not subject to this defect, that means that it acknowledges that the defect really exist?
