amd ryzen tr 1950x for $892... and... intel core i9 7980xe for $1942, the core i9 7980xe is 12% faster than the amd ryzen 1950x, which processor do you think is better considering price to performance ratio?? No fan boyism comments please.

Thread Ripper

 

[Richie Newton]

Thread Ripper for sure.

 

[Garrick Schull]

The 7980XE can also overclock alot. 4.4-4.6 GHz are easily possible. It beats threadripper by alot more than 12% especially in single threaded performance (like gaming).

 

[Danny Worsnop]

double the price for 12% extra performance. i dont know. hard question.

 

[Jeremiah Davis]

Threadripper. Can you not math?

 

[Erik Brown]

Bro you just explain the math in your post just do the math you have all the information necessary

 

[Eryk Smith]

Count in motherboard prices.

 

[Finlay Roelofs]

is double the price for a 12% performance increase worth it?
if not: TR
if yes: i9

 

[Irfan Abdurrachman Hanif]

Don't forget the PCIe lanes factor and motherboard prices and features

 

[Jacobi Schreiter]

No one needs an i9

 

[James Reed-moretz]

The 1950x

 

[James Reed-moretz]

Remember that Intel security issue a few weeks ago, and how they handled it

 

[Jason Proctor]

You can argue that 12% faster is 12% more work done. More work done is more money earned. More money means more roi long term (eventually).

Now if you’re talking about gaming, just stop. Both are pointless.
