Ok, so I have a TrueNAS server on which I need to manage a NAS, run a Windows VM for a game server, and run a Linux VM for a software dev/machine learning server. I needed as many cores as possible for as cheaply as possible, so I picked up a 7940x off ebay for $300. Then...a couple a days later, the 5950x price drops 40%. When combined with a motherboard, the x570 and 5950x combo comes out now just $100-200 more after the price drop. Should I return the 7940x and grab a 5950x? Obviously on pure CPU performance, the 5950x is better, but is the quad-channel memory and pci lanes valuable enough to stick with the 7940x?
Thanks!
Thanks!
