i7 or Ryzen 7?

[Newbie.Builder]

Hi guys, so recently I have been looking at building a new pc and I can't decide between a Ryzen 7 3800xt, Ryzen 7 4800x (when it comes out), i7 11700k (again, when it comes out) or a i7 10700k.

I will be using this pc for gaming, video editing and 3D rendering (paired with a RTX 3070). What are your suggestions? My budget is roughly $2600 NZD

Thanks

We don't know what the performance numbers for the 4800x are like, so you'd have to wait and see.

depending on pricing, a 3700x or 10700k will work fine if you're buying today

10700k is faster in games (for high FPS CPU bound situations) and some applications (like premiere, i think?) so you can look at benchmark for the application you're using to decide

 

as for future CPU, wait for benchmarks

OK, do you think I should wait or buy now? Will it be worth waiting?

It's 2 weeks. Just wait.

OK, what would you choose out of the two if you were in my situation? (ignoring price).

10700k, but that's probably priced on par with a 3900x, a chip with better multithreaded performance by a mile

Ok, I'll probably get the 10700k then as its priced almost identically with the 3800xt though according to some forum from a while ago Intel CPUs aren't as good as AMD for encoding etc. However, would it be better to wait for next gen? also, have security issues and stuff been fixed wit intel yet?

Priced identically in my country

what AMD chip vs what intel chips?

look for proper benchmarks to validate it yourself, never listen to what people say and take it as is (including me)

of course, if you can wait

it'll be announced in 2 weeks, and launch probably a month from now

but truthfuly it doesnt really affect most consumers, and most of them require physical access to your PC

Yeah, I'm not too sure so I'll leave that out.

Yeah I'll have a think about waiting as I need it kinda soon. So I should be completely fine going with Intel?

yeap, it's not like intel cant render or AMD cant game, or vice versa

though you should also include performance per dollar into account, because the 3800XT is not a good value when the 3700x exist

same chip, just clocked differently out of the box.

OK, sweet. Just wondering but do you now roughly how much better AMD is at rendering/ multi threaded tasks?

or will I be much better off looking a benchmarks?

depends on what CPU you're comparing and at what software, as each software is programmed differently.

so...
