i5 6500 or i5 7500 or Ryzen 1700?

[SUPERREDDEVIL]

as title says, for pure gaming purposes, wich one is a good performer?

Excluded FX processors, not looking that way.

thank you all for your responses.

Did you check any reviews?

yep, but in my country its all about the prices, the 6500 its 250 dollars, the 7500 (i guess it sthe same as 6500) and price is 275 dollars and ryzen 7 1700 is (jeez) here for 400 dollars. Dunno if save for the Ryzen one or build directly with an i5 of those.

Pure gaming, overclocking an intel is probably best, look for a OCable chipset and something like a 6600k or 7600k.

Ryzen 1700 is not the greatest single threaded processor, so OCing is a must if you want gaming performance. Future games might be better multi-threaded so take that into account, Battlefield is one of those very multi-threaded games for example

i5 beat 8 core Ryzen chips in gaming

Even i3 7350K beats it in some games. Without any overclock... Imagine this thing at 5GHz.

I own the i5 6500 myself, it's a great CPU and it isn't bottlenecking my GTX1070.
I don't know what graphics card you will buy though, if it's a GTX1080 I would pick the bit faster i5 7600 if you don't plan on overclocking, if you are going 1440p there shouldn't be any problems.

For best performance and if you can afford it I would pick a i5 7600K and OC it.

1700

needs to be a poll... 1700

Do you have a long term outlook, want to keep the same build for the next 3~5 years? If so then the Ryzen 1700 wins hands down, otherwise the highest clocked i7 from Intel.

 

[P4-630]

Yeah or spend more and get a 1700 and disable SMT for higher fps in gaming....

 

[SUPERREDDEVIL]

Thing is, the price difference is THE DOUBLE here, and a Ryzen mobo also cost me the double of a nice intel one...

 

[alucasa]

Then go for 1700? I don't think there is much to debate here since it's wallet that has the ultimate say.

It's easy then, if you prefer not to overspend, for high fps in gaming a fast i5 will do it.

i mean, the price for the new ryzen is the DOUBLE, not the i5 6500, so, its worth to wait for the ryzen to wnet down on proce or go with the 6500 to say, to buy it tomorrow?

Thank you! yes, those 400 bucks really hurts and ill guess the i5 still can do the magic instead of buying the ryzen, in terms of gaming performance.

Then, no, go for Intel.

If you're going for a GTX1080 , I'd buy a K CPU so you can overclock it to get the maximum fps out of your system.

If you go for a GTX1070, a i5 7500 or i5 7600 will do, or if you can save more cash, go with a Skylake CPU.

nope, pairing it with an R9 390 8Gb. So no bneck there

I would suggest waiting. Wait for Ryzen to "mature". Wait to see how the lower core count Ryzen's clock. Wait to see what happens to Intel's prices. 2-3 months.

Thing is, the price difference is THE DOUBLE here, and a Ryzen mobo also cost me the double of a nice intel one...

Early adopter fee.

If you want a stable fast gaming system TODAY, get Intel. If you want something that's going to have a long run, wait.

Then in that case you could go with a i5 6500 if you don't plan on OCing to save some cash.

 

[Lionheart]

Intel is better at gaming for now, the 1700 will be better in the long run, I would suggest waiting for AMD's R5 & R3 CPU's if you're patient enough.

 

[SUPERREDDEVIL]

Add a poll, Just because. hahaha

 

[alucasa]

Not sure 1700 will be "better" in long run. I am sure its performance will increase slightly over time but it's not like a CPU can magically become a unicorn over few patches.

 

[Sasqui]

I voted Intel, only because the Ryzen platform is still a work in progress... from what I've seen. For multithreaded tasks, it's price point can't be beat at the moment.

 

[P4-630]

Add a poll, Just because. hahaha

You could add that you don't plan on overclocking and that you will pair it with a R9 390 for gaming.
