I like my Ryzen 1700X which I use as a home server. But after overclocking my 5960x runs most software faster. The Ryzen CPUs seem to have some kind of hard speed limit right around 4 GHz. My 5960x can go to 4.3 although I keep it at 4.1 normally. That's 4.1 GHz on all cores at full load, not boost clocks.
But yeah, AMD is cheaper. And if you compare it to a 5960x at stock 3.3 GHz clock, it is faster.
- carc1n0gen 9y agoHave you tried higher clocked ram? Benchmarkers seem to show that ryzen really benefits from higher ram clicks like 3000+mhz [1] [1]https://www.eteknix.com/memory-speed-large-impact-ryzen-performance/ https://www.eteknix.com/memory-speed-large-impact-ryzen-perf...
- zlynx 9y agoI have been told that. But since this was for a server, I specifically chose Ryzen for ECC support, so my Ryzen system is running 2400 MHz ECC.
