Huh, seems like I'm best staying put on CPU for this Linux box. A B450/RX580 built on a shoestring before malware infected supply chains. It got me off a very dead end Intel platform, but was nothing impressive. Planned for X570, then either post-Vega GPU or a Ryzen 3700, whichever was the better buy first.
History said NOPE.
The 5600G existing dropped the 3700X to 320 and I was willing to pay that for a 300 CPU, so that. I think X570 still makes sense. If costs hit sane, RX6700 might be a good upgrade. RX6600 is not really faster, so unless I start _needing_ features the RX580 just doesn't have I'm lucky to have it and it be in such good condition. (2nd hand mining card purchased in 2019.)
Good to know there's no real need for any FOMO or anything for the time being. I can save for either AM5 or whatever comes after Alder Lake and see what there is to see in the GPU space when we get there.

really all depends on your work load and how much time you wanna tinker with your settings. I've had 1700X but wanted to upgrade and could only get a 5600X due to what I could get my hands on. I was disappointed at first but figured it's not a big deal since AMD new AM5 would be within a year or so and this cpu could hold me off. After a few changes in ryzen master and some in the bios my 5600X when playing games bouncing between 4600 and 4800 depending on the load. once a stress test is put on it pretty much is stuck at 4600 which is the max boost so it makes sense. Adjusting the precision over boost an extra 200mhz in ryzen master will allow the cpu to try and turbo up to 4800 if your have the power and cooling. So playing games at 4.6-4.8ghz and being able to get the most bang for the buck leaves me content.

These last few minutes of the video is I believe the main factor that differentiates the 560p and the 12400(f). That in socket upgrade that offers can make a big impact on the decision. It is a significant upgrade from more or less any 2000 series CPU and the R3's of the 3000 series.
In case you are building from scratch it more or less a matter of tossing a coin if prices of the entire platforms are similar. Otherwise probably the AM4 Motherboard cost could be meaningfully less as there are good/decent B450 motherboards that cost around 70-80 / or the equivalent pricing depending on the currency.

Congrats on AMD releasing this reasonably priced 6 core at this late after selling a 6c 12t for 300, and forgetting who their base consumers were till theyre ass blasted by Intel alder lake after already being a worse value than 10th gen intel. I already moved the a 12700K from a 3700X but here s to hoping both these two are competive when raptor lake and zen 4 drop. Really hoping they start selling the R7 for 300 again, especially since theres not gonna be ddr4 AM5 boards. We really need these two to compete instead of compete

When the big CPU companies are sweating in the boxing ring, the consumer ultimately wins. You've got two excellent value options with a few advantages here or there. If you're already on a compatible AM4 platform, the choice is obvious, but if you're doing a new build, both options are totally legit.
As far as future goes, AMD's X3D comes out sooner and uses the same memory, but the Intel platform might have a whole new generation in it. Hard to say there and I wouldn't fault anyone for going one way or the other.

I'm a casual and a lot of stuff flies over my head so whoever can answer this question would be greatly appreciated.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the differences are negligible in most instances and the only thing that should influence you decision is current pricing and maybe brand loyalty if that's how you roll. This is strictly from a gamer perspective.
Also yes I'm a disgusting animal who comments before the end of the video incase this exact thing was answered.

With Intel and AMD so close together in the midrange now, I would be really interested in a price comparison of the platforms. Like are the mainboards also equally priced for the same feature set? Do AMD boards need more auxilliary controllers because their PCH isn't as decked out or are Intel's LGA sockets more expensive to put on boards and does that make a difference?

Hey. It is so weird for me that you do now emphasise on the 1% and ,1% lows. 1st 5600x performed worse than 5600 in 1% lows, seems you messed something in the testing. 2nd, in most games you feel the lowest framerate that occures, rather than the average or highest. Those 1% actually represent the 99% of the experience, especially with lower performing hardware.

An important consideration is the fact 12400 has an iGPU, which is useful for troubleshooting; especially if we're still in the current GPU climate and your GPU dies, you're left with a non-working PC with AMD or Intel -F CPUs. It's a rare scenario but it's worth considering

I keep checking my motherboard support page for zen 3 support; nothing yet, but I'll get a 5600 to replace my 1600 when I know I can slot it in with upgrades. Looking to avoid the teething issues of a new platform by waiting until zen 4+ or zen 5.
