I don't know about that. The i5 6 core chips seem like pretty good value. I would probably go with an r5 3600, but it isn't really as clear cut anymore.

So I'm just holding out for Zen 3 later this year to upgrade my PC - like you said, suddenly the 10600K made the choice a lot less clear.

  Not really, the Zen3 APUs for laptops and the consoles coming out later this year have been showing up in benchmarks online and have been blasting the Intel desktop offerings, I'm actually kind of excited about what we'll see from the actual desktop SKUs.

    Well my point was that the 10600K made a choice less clear when it comes to the current offerings from AMD. I want to upgrade my gaming rig and was basically looking at either the 3600X or 3700X, but it looks like either CPU is easily beaten in games by the 10600K for a very similar price. If I waited a little bit for the 10600KF then the price difference shrinks even further. That's why I'm saying I'm waiting for Zen 3 - I'm sure it will absolutely dominate on the desktop, so it seems like it's better to wait a little bit rather than buy now.

I just wish they would have made it for the LGA1151 socket and not for a new socket again which will only support one or two generations of CPUs.

Checking local prices the 3600x is 90aud cheaper than the 10600k. Factor in a ~60aud cooler for the 10600k and the 6 core is competing with the 3700x on price, not the 3600x. In terms of value it still seems pretty clear-cut to me.

Ryzen 5 3300x and 3100 are launching soon to add further lower tier price points.

The article is comparing the upcoming Intel Core i9-10900K and Core i7-10700K chips, and how their price and performance compares to the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X. That being said, it seems like, with the exception of some advantages in low resolution gaming, the less expensive Ryzen 5 3600 is still a better option than the (so far) unavailable Core i5 10600K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCcfgcjMFNk#t=962 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCcfgcjMFNk#t=962
