Hi guys, I'm looking for a CPU which will be good mainly for multi threading.
My use cases are fairly light gaming(CSGO, PUBG and similars), and the reason I really need a multi threading CPU is an editing software called PixInsight in case anyone is familiar.
This is an imaging processing tool, and the heavy actions there are working on threads parallelism, for example, going over X amount of images, each image is being worked on by a thread.
So I believe the actual core speed might be "less" important than the number of threads my CPU will have, as I could then perform more operations at once, but of course both are important.
I thought about the AMD Threadripper 2920x, which has 12 cores and 24 threads, but generally I might be satisfied with less.
My goal is the get the best performance for value. I believe any CPU nowadays in that category would be enough for CSGO/PUBG, so there's no need to take that into considerations too much?
Here is the official system requirements: https://pixinsight.com/sysreq/
Thanks for the help!
Just noticed that the 2920x is TR4 socket, which is around the same price as the CPU itself, so that's probably not an option..
