Yeah a 6/6 chip vs a 4/4 chip, we know those results.
However, this is a great review to show the AMD 3600 6/12 against the Intel 8700K 6/12.
Judging by this review, core for core and thread for thread they are VERY similar in performance, with the 8700K even winning a benchmark or two, like Blender.
Again, the gaming benchmarks are what we thought, and while the 8700K can hit 5.2GHz all day and pick up another 4-8FPS in games with the additional 500MHz overclocked, lets look at the stock vs stock results.
Creed: Identical Performance, 8700K a few FPS faster
8700K: 75/102
3600: 77/99
B5: Difference of 11 FPS Low, 18 FPS Average, 8700K faster
8700K: 114/167
3600: 103/149
Raider: Difference of 10 FPS Low, 19 FPS Average, 8700K faster
8700K: 78/114
3600: 68/95
Division: Identical Performance
8700K: 102/159
3600: 106/158
Far Cry ND: Difference of 10 FPS Low, 7 FPS Average, 8700K faster
8700K 84/110
3600:74/103
Hitman: Difference of 12 FPS Low, 13 FPS Average, 8700K faster
8700K: 94/118
3600: 82/105
3Kngs: Difference of 3 FPS Low, 4 FPS Average, 8700K faster
8700K: 105/127
3600: 102/123
So overall the 8700K is about 8-20 FPS give or take faster for Low and Average, however I think you will see more cases of each if you did 30 games. 7-8 games you would see identical performance, 11-12 games you would see 8-12 FPS, and 10 games you would see 15-25 FPS more with the 8700K. In all actuality the AMD Ryzen 3600 is really about the same, slower or a little faster then the 8700K across the board, with the 3600 having a very slight overall advantage with computational benchmarks, and the 8700K having a distinct advantage with gaming, along with a hefty 400-500MHz of overclock room.
Interesting tidbit, the 8700K released in August of 2017 while the Ryzen 3600 released July 7th of 2019. Love the matchup of these two chips, the 3600 is such a beast for the money.
The 9900K vs the 3800X is another favorite of mine, putting 8/16 chips against one another.
