Is intel even worth it any more amd is killing it right now
id recommend just waiting until amd comes out with their new cpus or just go with something like the 3600 or 3600x because the pricing of the for performance is absolutely better than intel,

Good deal - you can't find one lower than this price used. I assume these are all still soldered, 9600k and up?

Would like to see a $250 9700k.

Thanks. Was logging on to buy it at the $199 price. $175 even better. Was originally getting the 9400 but well worth the extra $30 to overclock the 9600k

No they are not this is a bad Chip the 3600x will run much smoother with a higher 1% lows. And the upgrade path is unmatched, in two years you can buy a 16core CPU for 300$ or so.

no AMD chip in this price range will outperform this chip in current games, which i'd say is the target market. i just upgraded to a 3700x from this exact chip, and single threaded performance is slightly slower now.

Yeah I know the single core performance is better on the intel chip but as an all around chip 3600 is hard to beat, and it has better workstation performance.

Not entirely true. First, workstation applications that don't require a discrete graphics card (mostly number crunching or not high-refresh video) increase the total cost for the 3600x. You have to factor in the cooler price for the 9600k.

Second, very, very few applications use more than 6 threads so as to make that requirement a fringe case. On the other hand most workstation applications benefit from a strong single core performance.

Third, very very few users multi-task with multiple applications to benefit from 12 threads.

So, ln paper the 3600x looks good, but it is half a dozen for one and six for the other in comparison to necessarily recommend one over the other (except for the AMD bros). One is likely better than the other depending on the user requirements and what they already have in terms of memory, mother board, etc.

If the 9600x suits the requirements or preference, then this is about the lowest price I have seen for the 9600x and so a good deal.
