I see so many cpu comparisons but they end up extremely confusing because they don’t always discuss the performance in terms of use and price.
I would like to build a high end pc spending up to about $1400 on the processor. I don’t game often and most of the comparisons are on gaming. I use lots of programs at the same time, graphics, video editing, browser windows, etc. The Threadripper chips like the 2950x seems to have great specs but tests are showing i9 7960x doing a better job in many cases. From my experience intel seems to work better with audio/video/photo, adobe, multi-task situations for some reason. It doesn’t really make a lot sense to me as many of the better spec processors don’t perform as well.
So, I’m looking for some suggestions. 9th gen higher core intel, 8th gen, Threadripper?
9900k, x-series? 10 cores, 16 cores, 24 cores, 32 cores,Threads? $550, $899, $1100, $1300, $1500?
The more I listen and learn, the more confusing it gets..
It would be great to have comparison videos similar to “if you have $1000 to spend on a cpu and you plan to multitask and create with adobe then these are the choices and here are the benchmarks” etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
