Title: New Workstation Intel vs AMD?
Post by: bluesarchitecture on 2020-05-11, 20:21:49

Hi there,

I want to buy a new Workstation and I have these two systems.
It would be great if you could help me with the decision.

Hi. If you check the Corona benchmarks, you'll see that the 2920x is a bit faster than the 9900k. But in other programs it might be the other way around.

Personally I wouldn't buy any of them. Instead I would go for a Ryzen 3000 build, with the 3900x or the 3950x if the budget allowed so.

The other things looks fine.

Hope it helps

Yes, I remember some similar discussion where the conclusion was that 2xxx AMDs don't make much sense.
You get faster rendering with a 3900x compared to 2920x and you do not need to invest in a Threadripper platform, as 3900x is a Ryzen.
I quickly checked the prices and 3900x and 2920x are priced similarly (~50 eur difference).
