What is PC's highest setup?

[Programmer Frank]

I am building a workstation. I need massive performance. So i want to know what is the best setup of computer.

No dollar wasting! I need some specs.

I need both Intel and AMD.

Depends on how much shillings you want to spend, it can go insanely expensive.

Best build per dollar today is Ryzen 9 3950x with 16 cores, but the absolute best is threadripper 32core (64 not out yet).

It depends on the task.

Gaming is not the same as CAD which is not the same as video editing which is not the same as machine learning, etc etc etc

You can spend a few million dollars on a computer and have it perform like crap at certain tasks.

Why not using AMD EPYC platform? It has 64c 128t!

Er... I mean I wanted to build a tiny server, likes linus sebastian's 2 GAMERS ONE CPU, 7 GAMERS ONE CPU etc.

I want to build a 'super server', can do anything.(Maybe impossible?)

So.... what exactly will you be using it for?

And how much do you want to spend? 10k? 20k?

My company will buy it. Maybe they will using it for... Video editing? 3D Rendering? CAD? Design? etc.

You need to figure out what software they're going to use first because different software works well with different components.

For those things you listed above I would recommend the top end threadripper CPU, a whole bunch of ecc ram, and maybe one or two quadro RTX cards.

Power supply, I would recommend seasonic. Case get whatever you want that's decent quality.

For storage check out optane 905P drives, they are the fastest available.

I just asking them, they says they will run a lot of vms, want to using Photoshop, Premiere, Media Encoder, Bridge, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, CAD etc.

Then yeah use what I recommended above.

No, Epyc is server based, it doesn't have a high clock speed. And the price is astonomical for the 64c part.

For what you wanna do, threadripper is the absolute best as its aimed for high perfomance workstation.

Although a 16 core Ryzen 9 would arguably do the job just as good for video editing.

The chip is somewhat similar (if not identical) to the epyc part, but it's allowed to have higher clockspeed (for half the price).

Oh yeah. I will using it.

[SupaKomputa]

64core part is not available yet, you can wait another month or two.

If not, the 32core is the only one you can buy right now, if you can find it.

Only use quadro cards if you need more Vram than the 2080ti offered.

For the price of quadro 8000 you can have 2-3 2080ti.

I see youre doing mainly in movie production, the 2080ti should have enough vram.

If your company can afford to build a super high-end, expensive server PC then I'm rather confident that they can commission a system integrator to build it, or at the very least recommend which components they should consider buying. Not that you can't figure it out with some careful research, but it seems to me that asking random strangers on a casual tech forum for something this particular may not be the best approach. Food for thought.
