The 5600 has been going down to $130 and will certainly be there or lower around Black Friday. Almost identical performance.

Don't buy this unless you really need a CPU now.

The 5600X will be about 30% faster, according to userbenchmark [userbenchmark.com]. Consider carefully other bottlenecks in your system, such as RAM, motherboard, hard drive (especially your drive), and graphics card. A faster processor will not yield strong results if you load from a 5400 RPM drive, for example.

it is showing "DDR-3200 support", just wondering if it is going to work with 2133?

The 5600X is clocked slightly higher. This results in a small performance increase (up to 2%).

2-3% difference in multi core and single thread performance. Probably not very noticeable

I have a 3600 and this wouldn't be worth upgrading. Minimum 5700x would be considered an upgrade to me

I bought this 5600x last time it was $159 on Amazon a couple weeks ago. Just received it a couple days ago. My order shows it is eligible to be returned until 1/31/23 so you can buy and hold it in case a better deal comes along.

I have an i7-6700k. Would this 5600X be enough of a CPU upgrade to be worth it for me? Any help is appreciated. Yes I know I need a new mobo but they are pretty cheap these days for this CPU.

Does this come with the Uncharted bundle? Amazon doesn't list it but AMD site says they are one of the places that are supposed to have it? Microcenter also doesn't list the game bundle and are supposed to have it as well. Newegg is the only site that seems to be advertising the CPUs with the Uncharted bundle.

And it's cheaper, the non x version, correct?
