Anyone know of any threads or articles comparing the 1300x to 1600x? Reason for asking is I currently have the 1300X and am considering upgrading to the 1600X

I think in more modern games, the 1600X would be a lot better. 4C/4T vs. 6C/12T makes a big difference.
why the 1600x over the 1600?
In all honesty, if I had a 1300x and I wanted to upgrade, I wouldn't go to the 1600's. I would go to the 1700. Otherwise you leave yourself in position to go through this again.
I don't suppose you live close to a Microcenter, do you?

Well, he only has 4 cores and 4 threads right now. The 1600x bumps you to 6 cores with 12 threads.
the1600x gives you almost double the performance in rendering and video encoding, and in multithreaded games it's up to 50% faster.

I'm mixed on going 6 versus 8, since most games are seeing less improvement beyond 6 real cores. But 6 would definitely be enough of an upgrade to justify.
The 1600x has been on sale for 200 from amazon newegg and mc over the last week or so.If he's paying retail on Newegg (with the latest price cuts), it's $70 more ($270 versus $200). Not bad, but not great value.
If it's Microcenter, the price is a lot closer. The 1600x is $180, and the 1700x is $230. I'd probably jump for $50, but it's sill a lot of money for just a small performance bump.

Memory is the killer right now. Might stay high until early 2018. It's up to you to resist temptation.Why oh why did you have to tell me this, now I am further tempted and I do not need anything. (Would love to build for someone else though, like a nice Ryzen 3 1200 with B350 motherboard. )
