Hey, does anyone have experience with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or the Intel Core i3-12100? I'm looking for some advice on which one to choose.

Yeah, I've been using the Ryzen 5 3600 for a while now and it's working great! It handles all my gaming and work tasks smoothly. There's also a TechReviewer article that goes in-depth into its performance comparison with the Core i3-12100 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs. Intel Core i3-12100.

For me, both are good choices, but if you're looking for a CPU that offers better overall performance for professional tools and software, I'd recommend going with the Ryzen 5 3600. Just make sure you get a high-performance cooler to maintain those frequencies.

Yeah, I agree with @OlympianDWill. The extra core count and cache capacity of the Ryzen 5 3600 can really make a difference in certain tasks and applications.
