Best CPU for Compiling

[JohnCalvin]

What is best CPU for compiling google chrome source code and AOSP source code faster, and without lags ? Is Ryzen 9 3950x enough for my needs ?

Note : Google Chrome source code is approx 13 billions of source code files, compiling with i7-4790 take about 180 hours

Just get third gen thread ripper if u can afford it.

I dont have enough budget for thread ripper, about $700-950 budget, $1000 its still ok

I mean if you have more than a grand to spend 3970x or the 3990x is the best obviously although and this might sound outrageous and idk if you are interested or do AVX work load but if you do the 10980xe specializes in such work load but you decide if you want more horse power or the ai built in to the 10980xe 

Although the 3950x is still competent it just won't bring the best performance

Really then you might want the 3950x as it comes on a cheaper platform compared to the core-i series extreme processors and the threadrippers. Consider using the extra money to buy a decent air cooler/aio. If you can save up for a little longer I will highly reccomend the 3960x/3970x, the performance jump will be pretty large. You also might just want to wait a little longer for AMD's 4th gen ryzen launches, but if you just can't wait, 3950x+Noctua dh-15/ a decent 240/360 AIO is the way to go.

If 4th gen ryzen launch, will 3960x or 3970x prices down significantly ?

And if i buy 3960x or 3970x, is i really need dual PSU ?, my current PSU is corsair RM 850

long time untill 4th gen launch, and even later for 4th gen threadripper. 

 

its a firm, "maybe", but if you can get the 3950x, you will have a significant drop in the time it will take to compile code

dual PSU?

 

 

your powersupply is adequate providing you dont need to have more than 1 GPU (2080ti)

 

assuming its the 2019 version of the RM (greylabel)

Yes... grey label
