Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD 320GE

CPU is newer: launch date 1 year(s) 2 month(s) later

Launch date	7 Jul 2019 vs 19 April 2018

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
4 more cores, run more applications at once: 6 vs 2
8 more threads: 12 vs 4
A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 12 nm FinFET vs 14 nm
3x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
3x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
4x more L3 cache, more data can be stored in the L3 cache for quick access later
Around 23% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 2382 vs 1929
3.2x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 13900 vs 4399
