but I don't know
More cores does not mean more speed a lot of the time as most applications do not take advantage of all the cores avaliable.
sure
If you do video encoding, then it would matter
but we're talking about rendering a video
lol
it's not the same
It depends. I have a AMD FX-8350 that is overclocked. It is 8 cores, but only has one processing thread per core, compared to intel which has 2 threads per core. Intel tend to be faster but more expensive. Ryzen is good for the price.
AMD are good for budgets builds basically. If you have the cash to splash go with Intel.
I stand corrected the 9990k is much less. Go with that.
he likes it because its 137% efficient as a workstation over the 9900's 99%
Are there any benchmarks in regards to say video encoding?
I'm guessing if you use something like Handbrake that can take advantage of all the threads/cores it would perform a lot better than 9990k
well, I don't use my PC for work...
so there's just more comparison
I see
half the price and better gaming performance...
slacker
It really depends on use
For gaming I would just go with 9990k as it is much cheaper and is better suited.
that's what I did
If I'm doing video encoding or any intensive multithreaded applications that will utilize all of the cores/threads, then the Ryzen is worth it.
my PC has half the ram though
but that's modular I can install more at any time
its also tiny, which I like
I will need to weigh these options myself. As I do a lot of music production, which will utilizes a lot of cores/threads but also do gaming.
Also, I hate how AMD will change sockets every time they release a new range of CPU's
So, if I buy a nice motherboard that supports AM4, it will be useless if they come out with new CPUs say, in 5 years time.
The motherboard I use currently only supports AM3+, so I'm stuck with AMD FX cpu's, which are shit.
lol
lol
I needed to rant to someone aha
