As seen, our Ryzen 5 1600X setup was able to clock in a score of 1440cb for the multi-threaded test when overclocked, while the stock the Ryzen 7 1700 was just a little slower at 1419cb. This has also shown how well the Ryzen processors scales according to their frequencies. There was quite a significant increase in performance when clock speeds were increased, until even the fact that a hexa-core Ryzen processor was able to outperform the more expensive octa-core variant.
However, it must be taken into consideration that not all processors will have the ability to be overclocked to reach the settings as stated above. It largely depends on your luck and on the quality of yield of the processor. We were considered fortunate to have a 1600X that was able to reach 4.2GHz on air. In fact, we even managed 4.3GHz with only 2 cores enabled and SMT disabled. This gave us a single core thread score of 179cb.

If you would like to challenge yourself and have some overclocking experiences, you could possible overclock the Ryzen 5 1600X to perform as well as a Ryzen 7 1700 and save $149 SGD at the same time (1700 – $499 SGD / 1600X $359SGD). However, if you want to have out of the box performance, the Ryzen 7 1700 could still be a better choice. You can even overclock the 1700 for an even better performance!
