Threadripper 2920x or Ryzen 3900x?

[Jeremy Frudentagg]

Threadripper 2920x costs 370$ and Ryzen 3900x costs 500$. I guess 3900x is faster, but is it really worth it?

I will be doing 3d rendering works

The big question is how much your time is worth and how much time would the 3900x save you over the 2920x? Then you can justify if the price difference is worth it.

Have you checked the board prices yet?

In my opinion ( not and expert )

The big deal for me, is that, from what i have read, the 3900x is about 10 to 15 % more efficient.  

 

Also heat management will be easier with 3900x  

2920x  TDP  is 180 watts

3900x  TDP  is 105 wats

 

My 2 cents

You're right, when you're building machines at this price range, the 100$ +/- is actually worth investing.

Yes haha I just realized that the motherboards are way to expensive and actually together with the CPU it gets more expensive..

It seems like AMD is trying to bury Threadripper with the Gen3 Ryzen.. is it true or just feeling? Because those Gen3 Ryzens are really good

if you look at the newer thread rippers they actually cost a lot more but have much more performance... maximum ram, pcie lanes, cores, threads... the list goes on and on

True because 3rd gen TR is even more OP
