3600 has always been the sweetspot with those wanting maximum going to 3733 or 3800
G. Skill gave more info on RAM speeds. They are covering each FCLK.

I currently have a 3700x now im thinking i might upgrade to a 5600x but not really wanting to lose my cores but then looking at gamersnexus benches im only losing a few seconds but gaining a lot of fps in games but then again i dont game at 1080p hhhmmm decisions lol
GPU upgrade would give you far more FPS if you're still running your 1070 especially since you're running a higher resolution.
I think I went out of my way to get the decent ones that were on my motherboard's HQL. I'm not upgrading my RAM.
Only this from a German guy.
I imagine its 2-3c cooler, don't see it being night and day vs the 360 really. Bigger fans though so can run at a lower RPM.

Demand was always going to outstrip supply but I believe there are dates for further shipments coming in this month so not quite the Nvidia debacle!
People bought them all. A couple of places still have stock. ETA’s 10th, 16th and 20th.
Frustrated RTX-3080/3090 money probably greatly added to demand.
It looks like the $300 5600X can't quite keep up with the $300 3700X in productivity tasks.
It's not a "clean" generational jump to me if the money spent on a new gen part isn't faster *at all tasks* than the same money spent on the previous generation.
The gaming improvements are impressive, and might justify the price for some people, but I think the price needs to come down about $50 on the 5600X.
