What quad core's compare to the ryzen 1200?

[The Abacus]

Hi, I am considering a ryzen 1200 but when i look up reviews and comparisons all i find are comparisons to i3 duel cores and really high end intel cpu's. What quad core cpu's are equivalent to the ryzen 1200 as i am wondering if like a 4th gen i5 is better?

The 1200 is in the ball part of the i3 6100 to 7300 depending on game. Overclocked it then is in ball part of the 7300 to i5 7500 depending on the game. The 1200 overclocking should beat a 1300X.

oh excellent thanks, i know the 1200 looks so good for overclocking vs the 1300x

That applies for single thread apps only. They like higher frequency with any processor. Move to multi-thread app and situation changes.
