| vivster said: Threadrippers are not really that great for gaming unless you intend to play 10 games at once. AMD has made great strides and they're in the process of overtaking Intel because Intel hugely fucked up in their development line. For now it's the same as always: If you have money go Intel, if you want to save a bit but still have performance go AMD. This might change in the next 2 years depending on if Intel lets it happen. Just don't try to be blinded by core and GHz numbers or theoretical and app benchmarks. AMD has all of those in the bag, yet they still lag slightly behind in raw gaming performance. BTW you missed the most important thing. What kind of resolution are you playing on? If you're still on 1080p ditch it asap and go 1440p. |
AMD will of course pull ahead if you are multi-tasking... Like running a Game+Discord+Steam+Dozen other game launchers+Twitch Streaming+Browser loaded with tabs+Playing Music+OS Background tasks... Mostly that is because AMD will sell you more CPU cores at any given price point.
Sadly most benchmarks performed by various outlets are run on a squeaky clean system which doesn't represent such usage scenarios.
But you are right, Threadripper is entirely pointless for gaming right now.
