AMD or Intel

[Nikola231]

I have little problem picking new CPU. The problem is I know nothing about AMD products. The original choices were 5820k,6800k or 7800x. Which AMD CPU compare to these Intel CPUs ?

What is your intended use for the machine you are building and what is your budget?

Both heavily influence CPU recommendations.

EDIT: The AMD Ryzen 7 line-up will be competitive in that range. Ryzen is better multi-threaded and Intel is better single core performance (in general)

Mainly 3D moddeling and rendering, and some gaming. Buget is 3000 $ top but I have to mention that I live in Serbia and prices for PC Hardware are much higher.(example : 7800x in USA is about 400$ in Serbia it is about 650 $).

For what uses?
If it's for gaming, what resolution and refresh rate is the display?

EDIT: Go Ryzen, for 3D modelling and rendering these chips are MUCH better value than their Intel counterparts, I recently swapped from an i7 6700 to a R7 1700 to improve modelling and rendering performance, the improvement is VERY significant.
