im very skeptical on actual amd, i've been reading a lot and it seems the thread ripper are having issue of all kinds, from windows 10 not fully supporting that amount of threads to many power issues, freezes, bios, heat problems, i mean after investing 5k on a machine you will have to fight with all that, no thanks.
Intel for me always been an extremely stable and performance cpu, i bought the i7-990x in 2011 and its still running perfectly without a single hiccup or issue ever. Apparently intel is launching a 11900k which from some leaked info beat in performance the new 5950x from amd, so i am gonna wait probably.
I was just very curious about threadripper because of the raw cores on rendering, and i mostly render a lot, but the more i dig into these processor the more issues i found on the forums all around the world. It doesnt really give me that tranquillity for the amount of money it costs.
10980xe has some impressive results, these benchmarks are so annoying some says it performs even better than some latest ryzen, some say it doesnt.
Also 95% of benchmark always take into account gaming which frankly is dumb.. i couldnt care less.
i was just wandering if anyone here using terragen has this cpu to understand how it performs, from RTP preview to actual rendering and core utilization and stability.
