Choose between Intel 10700K and Ryzen R7 2800XT for your build.
Seeking recommendations on CPU choices. Applications include CAD (SolidWorks), 3D printing, and gaming 3D printing projects with frequent 24-36 hour printing sessions. Need stability, long usage, and heavy single-thread workloads. Budget for CPU is around $1500 SGD. Any suggestions or alternatives?
Think about the 3700x or 3800x options. You could also look for a 3900x that matches a 3800xt, which would be much better. Intel CPUs aren't known for their multi-threaded performance today. Their systems are also more costly, use more power, and run hotter. What price is the 3900x set at?
Hello, The 3800XT is essentially a more refined version of the 3800X, which in turn is a refined take on the 3700X. For value and performance, the latter stands out. Now comparing 10700k and 3700x, TLDW 3600/3700X/3900X seem to be stronger choices unless you're heavily focused on gaming, in which case the 10600K or 10700K are the top picks.
Consider a 3700X or 3900X if you claim gaming the i7 isn't worth it because it heats up more, consumes extra power, and the Z490 line has several issues right now.
