AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X

Hello Everyone!

I am wondering to switch from INTEL to AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X.

How do you guys finding this CPU is it any good? Is it worth buying?

At the moment I am on 128GB OF DDR4 Ram, Titan X pascal and i7 6950X 10 core 20 thread.

Please let me know your Thoughts.

Thank you.

It should be faster in ~3 times compare to your current cpu

My personal experience with that CPU is just great :)

So, what about the active working. Is this MAD CPU is snappy in 3D's Max interface? When you switch from tab to tab, poly, edge modes etc does it update the tabs instantly or is there a lag?

Thank you very much :)

As far as I know cpu does not affect 3dsmax viewport lags or performance, it is GPU that is responsible for this (and its memory). Lags (in my experience) are often caused by slate material editor simultaneously opened with interactive rendering or 3dsmax viewport itself. But for interactive rendering this CPU is great (with Optix very fast)

I find my 3970x to be significantly snappier when doing things like opening HDRIs etc. than my 1950x.  Single threaded tasks in other words seem quite snappy.
