“A lot of productivity PC” builds are going for $1700 Intel CPUs... really? Even if the $1700-CPU PC market was really popular, tell me: why would they choose the slower of the $1700 CPUs, other than corrupt or beurocrafic business practices?
And don’t try to argue how Intel’s $1700 18-core CPU is faster than AMD’s similarly priced 32-core CPU because Intel’s has slightly faster per-core performance. Such an argument would be absolutely absurd: the point of an 18-32 core CPU is NOT the single threaded performance :)
- blackstrips 8y agoThis guy uses it: https://youtu.be/jweQNDCe218 https://youtu.be/jweQNDCe218 Don’t know about you but his builders actually benchmark the CPUs. Dansgaming uses the 18 core i9 for his streaming box. Not every application a person uses scales to high core counts, in such situations a CPU with good single thread performance (in addition to high core counts) would be beneficial. Cache performance matter too. AMD’s CPUs have a split L3 cache. Some applications might not like that.
- geezerjay 8y ago> Not every application a person uses scales to high core counts But do you know what really scales to high core counts? Running more than one application at a time.
- blackstrips 8y ago> Running more than one application at a time. Depends on how much memory bandwidth and how much CPU cache your applications are using. Wouldn’t what to trash the L3 cache and worsen the situation with a saturated memory bus.
