The 10700 and 10700K both beat the 5600X in games at 1080p by about 3%. If you OC the K, which is trivial, you can win by 5 to 8 %.
On productivity the 10700K beats the 5600X by 3.9%. The 10700K can be had for about $50 more than the 5600X @ $299, assuming you can actually find one for $299. The next up slot in AMDs lineup is the $450 5800X, which would compete with the 10850K and 10900 in price.
The 10700 non K wins at games by ~3%, and loses in productivity by ~7%. However, you can power unlock the 10700 nonK - again trivial to do - and win on both games and productivity. There's nothing you can do to the 5600X to counter that.
So yeah at this particular price point AMD failed. I never said anything about the 10600K, and I won't argue a point I didn't make.
1. Yes, two CPU's that cost more than the 5600X are sometimes faster than the 5600X. Again, the 5600X is slotted between the 10600k & 10700.
2.
The 10700k is not a competitor to the 5600X. How many times do we have to go over this? The 10700k is $375 on B&H, Amazon, Newegg & Best Buy as the time of me writing this. Let's say we just go with your "sale" 10700k at $350. That makes the 10700k
18% more expensive than the 5600X. At its current regular price of $375, it's
25% more expensive. Additionally the 5600X doesn't need a cooler, so as a value proposition, you need to add at least another $20, making the full cost of a standard priced $375 10700k, $395 which is a full
31% more expensive than the 5600X.
31% more expensive for ±4% productivity & ±3% 1080p gaming.
3. On the 10700 non-K:
3% is not a win. It's within margin of error between the wide swath of PC games that exist. The TPU 10700 non-K review shows that the gains in games of a power unlocked 10700 is
0.2%. The 5600X is clearly faster when CPU limited @720p in some games than the 10700. See Sekiro, Civ6 & Wolfenstein 2.
3(a). Power unlocking is overclocking. 5600X doesn't need an OC. Overclocking the 10700 non-K will also add at least a $20 additional cost for the CPU cooler, reducing it's value. Related to power unlocking: power consumption stuff that the 5600X doesn't need to worry about.
You say at the price point the 5600X is, it failed, but you refuse to talk about the 10600k, its more relevant competitor. The 5600X is slotted
between the 10600k & the 10700, and it splits the difference in performance. It also splits the difference in price.
It's exactly where it should be. In fact, if you take the cooler cost for the 10600k that you'll need to buy, the price of the 10600k & 5600X are
exactly the same(±$5).
