Thanks for the repliy mate.
So correct me here if i am wrong, the 13900KS on the benchmarks is around 30 seconds. I currently have a 3970X TR and these results are around 27-29 secs.
Am i missing something here or is the 13900KS just a little slower than what i currently have? the price of a 13900KS is just over 1K AUD. Massive price difference compared to the 3970x - with me now wanting the 5995xw which according to the benchmarks is around 11 seconds and costs over 11K AUD. Price vs Performance wise, am i missing something or am i better off getting 2 or 3 13900KS instead?
I would probably take those 13900KS results with a grain of salt. Those are probably overclocked entries so the 13900KS I would still expect to be slower than the 3970x although by all accounts definitely not by a very noticeable amount. My
impression is that the 13900KS probably falls somewhere between 34-38s on the benchmark scale. That said, the benchmark doesn't necessarily account for all types of scenes so there might be some additional variation in there going either way imho.
I would most certainly say the same for the 5995wx. My build, as you can see on the entry list, clocks in at around 16-17s. Given that I'm running it without an OC my impression is that this is quite a realistic position for it. It is after all very much like the 3990x but with higher clocks and IPC which should probably account for that extra ~15-20% performance. I definitely can't imagine the 5995wx scoring 11s. That is dual Zen 3 Epyc territory I'd say.
For what its worth I pretty much agree with Juraj on all points except maybe on number 3. I do tend to consider myself to be somewhat fussy for when it comes to waiting for the UI to draw and all those wonderful single threaded tasks where a 7950x or a 13900k is just plain faster than a 5995wx is but when I'm working I really super appreciate the IR speed and I don't quite feel the need for more single threaded performance. I mean it would be great by all means its just that to me it seems like a good in between combo. I haven't used a 13900k or a 7950x yet mind you but the drawback there is that you're just waiting for noise to clear compared to a 5995wx. Depends on your style and needs I guess.
One thing to consider with these new Threadripper Pro builds is that they are incredibly expensive. Especially for arch-viz or product-viz where you don't need 9123412312 PCI-E lanes. So unless you know you'll put it to good use its very much worth considering investing in a mainstream platform and reaping some of that extra single threaded goodness.
