Which LGA 4710 processor matches the performance of a Ryzen 9950X?
Considering a move to a server workstation with LGA 4710 socket and a 6700 series CPU, looking for a processor that matches the performance of your Ryzen 9950X without being overly costly. I'm checking what models in the 6700 series would offer similar capabilities at a more reasonable price. I understand budget constraints in server setups but want to ensure the choice meets the necessary standards. Also, I'm curious about the future availability of the Socket 9324 and its potential impact.
I performed a test comparing CPU performance and found the 6530P and 6521P to be the best matches. The 6521P offers a higher clock speed and single-core performance. It came in very close to the 9950x.
Is this about a server? What will I do?
For personal use on my desktop or workstation, ask the same thing.
Think about the price of the motherboard, memory, and CPU. It won’t be inexpensive. Is the effort worth it? Heat, power consumption?
What tasks dominate your PC usage?
The focus on servers arises when you require numerous processing threads. Otherwise, it's less relevant.
I usually work with 8k video editing, often in ProRes 4:2:2 Raw format. That consumes a lot of resources. Soon I’ll be editing Blackmagic BRAW 17K files. I tested it with my current system and it was really slow. Even basic edits at 17k were painfully slow. Don’t forget about exporting to 8k either. Right now I have an RTX 5070 and 160GB of DDR5 RAM. The GPU is only holding me over until I upgrade. Since I’m single, I can afford to spend more on my own equipment.
You're unsure about your budget, but think about purchasing a Threadripper workstation?
Not sure that is really the case.

I'm not claiming AMD isn't capable, but online assessments indicate that software tends to favor Intel CPUs, offering quicker rendering and export speeds compared to AMD systems. In one test, an Intel Threadripper outperformed AMD significantly in terms of time.
