Question first gen threadripper vs 9 gen i5,i7,Ry5,Ry7 ??

[Sushrutpat]

speaking from a performance point of view , is a first gen AMD threadripper 1900 better suited/faster than a current gen ryzen 5 or 7 , or an intel i5 / i7 for 3dmax rendering and 1080p gaming ?? along with a GTX 1660 super ??

For gaming no, the Threadripper even the new ones are quite bade for it. They are simply not designed for gaming they are workstation CPUs.

If you are looking for a blend of gaming and work then the Ryzen 3700X or 3900X would be a better option.
