Ryzen 5 7600 Vs Ryzen 5 9600X
hey, i'm looking to upgrade my cpu and motherboard, at the moment i have an i5-9400f and it's getting pretty outdated at this point. I'd like to upgrade to am5 and i'm wondering if the 9600X is worth the extra money over the 7600 (or maybe 7600X) also, any am5 motherboard recommendations are welcome. Thanks.
Imo while the 9600x has superior performance, you won't even fully utilize the 7600 in most cases. For the price savings go with 7600. X variation if you want but not required.
MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk is a solid board with three m.2 slots.
9600X performs better with single threaded things, it's also more efficient than the 7600X. But for all intents and gaming purposes, they are very close.
