13900k or 7950x suitable for gaming and heavy workloads
What is the best CPU for such thing? Let's say your primarly thing is rendering, UE5, modeling and gaming on the side. and you dont care about power draw. I saw Intel performs better in blender but i was thinking of going with AMD if im gonna upgrade it later on with newer Radeon card, currently with nvidia rtx 3000 series Would it be bad to wait for AMD new cards for infinity fabric later on? Also, is paying 100$ more for DDR5 CAS30 instead of CAS40 worth it? @6000mhz
I’m not very familiar with DDR5, but I believe the 13900k and 7950X should both function well. It mainly depends on the price you can secure.
I need to review the benchmarks but I’m not sure AMD Radeon cards provide enough performance boost over the CPU to outweigh that disadvantage. If it’s CAS30, then yes, but is it really CAS36? I don’t think they offer CAS30 yet, making custom tuning even tough for a typical home setup.
Currently the 5800x3d stands out as the model you're seeking, not the ones you mentioned earlier. Based on the comparison charts I've reviewed between the 5800x3d and Intel's 13th generation chips, the top choice will likely emerge with the 7000x3d upon its release, followed by the next-gen 15000 series from Intel. However, since some applications prioritize performance over raw speed, a CPU with multiple cores is expected to perform better. I recommend considering the AMD 7000 series, as a slot supporting three generations of processors will offer more longevity compared to Intel's two-generation support.
Absolutely, 100%. Eight cores aren't enough for my needs. Ideally I'd choose AMD if they brought a 3D cache CPU like the 7950X instead of just an 8-core processor. It would make upgrading simple. That's the only reason I'd lean toward AMD, since I don't really mind different socket options. In the end, it's straightforward to replace the new graphics card and sell the old one. So there shouldn't be much trouble.
I see colors as two cores working together as one true core. So by the end, efficiency remains unchanged—it's essentially the same as AMD's claim.
RGT just released the update three hours ago. It includes a 7600x and 7700x 3D models, suggesting the 7950x is for upgrading to 8950 and maybe a 9950. Alternatively, you could sell some organs and receive a 96-core Zen 4 Thread Ripper. Or just laugh at the situation.
They wouldn't be seen as complete cores. More akin to background trivia that supports work or apps needing less processing power, similar to many Windows spyware programs.
