My 5820k has started to show its age as I have had to reduce the clock speed to keep stability. I ran it hard since before Ryzen even existed, I am not too upset about it.
Most all of the games I play are limited by the single threaded performance of my 5820k already, games like Factorio, KSP, Rimworld, Minecraft, ect. Games that really cannot be optimized for extra threads and cores.
As much as I believe the 3600 is the perfect "God Tier" chip for most gamers, Im not sure it is for me. I would like some help comparing chips for my use case before I spend all of the money.
What is the best benchmark to use for this comparison? I know some benchmarks may favor one feature or the other that dont matter for gaming.
Thank you everyone.
