I am looking at upgrading my CPU and was wondering which CPUs to go with between the AMD Threadripper 2990 WX vs I9 9900k. I do a lot of video work and Excel primarily. Would the AMD be the better chip for this kind of work? Also, would there be considerable amount of difference in performance between the two CPUs?
 


That CPU is a complete rumour at the moment, you could wait for it but it might never come.

what i would suggest you do if you want to go down that route is get a current get Ryzen chip (2700x) and you can upgrade the CPU when Gen 3 come out as they will still work on AM4 boards.
