Hey Guys,
I have an intel i9-9900k workstation, and I just bought a Threadripper 2970wx just for rendering purposes. I'm rendering animations with Backburner on the two machines. And that's really odd. The i9 renders a frame in 8:40 minutes, and the Threadripper in 7:20 minutes.
I dont't know why the difference is so tiny between the two - because the 2970wx should almost be twice so fast as the i9. But it isn't. Sure, parsing scene takesmuch longer on the 2970wx: 1:48 minutes, and on the i9 ist's just 0:46 minutes. That's because on one thread the intel is much faster. Thats OK. But after that?
Both CPUs are running at stock speeds, no overclocking. I have 64 gigs of ram, and the latest Corona+3ds max. On Cinebench, and Corona benchmark, the 2970wx is twice as fast, as the i9. But those are just the benchmarks. Do you have any idea why? Thanks!
