Even if this is solved, so that I won't open another topic, I would like to continue this because I don't consider it solved and cpu.benchmark isn't that reliable vs. day-to-day operation and most benchmarks are synthetic.
I face the same issue because it's about 25$ difference and that 25$ difference might be resulting in a better mobo with more features, or a better case for my final system. Either way, those are 25$ which I would want to know how to spend giving these circumstances:
1. I already own a GTX1060 3GB Gigabyte OC
2. I have a 75Hz monitor, so any more than that number of FPS is irrelevant.
3. Artificially created tests to predict Ryzen 1500X and 1600X from a 1800X (contenders for the 7400/7500/7600 pricwise) tells us that it will still be behind or at least on par with Intel.
Ok, so the third point might prove to be quite different on launch day, because we might have a surprise, but I highly doubt it since the architecture is confirmed to be the same, and the CPU will have only half the cores and lower cache, so I expect it to be actually about 2-5% slower than the artificial tests made by some youtube channels.
So, in the end, is that difference of 25$ worth the 400 MHz boost?
