7820 x0 7900x
1779 vs 2218
8 vs 10 cores
So in Intel case, adding 2 more cores nets you 439 points.
Intel 28 core @ 5.ghz 7334
AMD 32 core @ 5.1ghz 7618 points.
The difference is 284 for AMD while having the 0.1ghz advantage and 4 more cores.
That's actually terribly slow and terrible scalling.
so in heavily multithreaded and memory sensitive tasks the Intel will be faster.
The problem with Intel is they will ask some insane high price for it, but well, the price doesn't matter in this case really, if you really need a 28 core/32 core an, the cpu price itself isn't the issue, you spent 10 or 20 times more for ram.
So if that threadripper will be as much bottlenecked as I predict in memory heavy tasks, you would be wasting all the money you invested in RAM so depending on your workload even Intel costing 3 times more will be more effective and "cheaper" solution.
IDK, these threadrippers seem to be a waste and released for marketing purposes, would rather buy Epyc with its8 channel memory
