Which processor will be better: R5 5600X, i7-10700K or R7 3700X?
I understand that the question is from the category: “Which is better: Mercedes or BMW?”. But since I don't know much about this, I need your advice.
I looked after these processors for myself based on the budget and benchmarks. I will use the machine for coding (web), it will all work under Linux. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Live experience and sensations.
A year ago I took home 3600 / 32gb ram / 500gb nvme. I work in Ubuntu. Backend developer. Sometimes I indulge in the front in my free time.
I think that for web development tasks 3600 for the eyes. Situations where I would have rested on the processor are very rare and these were niche tasks. In order for web development to load a modern processor and rest on its performance, you need to either do something wrong or do something niche.
On previous machines in development, it was limited to memory or drive speed.
Hence my personal opinion that the final choice should be made based on other tasks. There will be a lot of software optimized for Intel - take Intel. There will be tasks for some kind of multi-thread ala video conversion - take where there are more cores. If the game - to invest in vidyahi. If not, then it is better to invest in the best motherboard, memory, cooling, case, rather than go crazy with synthetic tests.
From my own experience, Ryzens can have glitches with power saving under Lin (and, as a result, freezes).
It is treated by disabling C6 in the BIOS and writing a couple of words into the kernel boot properties, five minutes of time along with googling, but it can scare a beginner.
It also seems to be impossible to run Hackintosh on AMD processors, even in a virtual machine, but few people need it.
Otherwise, all the pluses of the Ryzens ...
