Performance per £ Value

Despite the Zen 3 price increases, the 5600X does reasonably well for our Cinebench-weighted performance per Pound money chart. The 5600X looks to be better value in this test versus the Core i5-10600K, but the more expensive Ryzen 7 3700X is a stiff competitor. The same can be said for the Ryzen 5 3600XT, and even tougher competition would come from the cheaper but almost as fast Ryzen 5 3600 non-X and 3600X… if you are able to find them in stock again.
