Ryzen 5 3600 vs higher priced process

[Baldbloke]

Hi,

I have a ryzen 5 3600 cpu.
Out of curiosity I've been looking at prices of newer ryzen cpus.

Now, I admit I've not done any proper research on what's a good upgrade but what little I've done on Userbenchmark suggests the improvent on the ryzen 5 3600 against a chip twice the price is somewhere between 3% and 11%.

Eg compare the 3600 (6 core, 12 thread) with a ryzen 9 3900xt (12 core, 24 thread) , the improvement in performance is roughly 3 percent. Yet in retail shops the price of the 3900xt i(circa £410) s more than double the 3600 (circa £189).

I'm missing something here, ain't I?

How useful, even ball park accurate, is Userbenchmark?

Thank you. folks. It seems then that Userbenchmark is not a reliable gauge.

Since first asking the question I've had a look at some web sites and YouTube that show performance stats when pairing 3600 with 3080.
My 3600 will probably be quite acceptable with my recently acquired 3080 ti.
I don't expect I'll need that upgrade yet anyway.
