First PC build

that would assume the given application can scale 100% with additional cores/threads (which they very rarely do). you then also have to consider the lower IPC and clockspeeds of the R7. don't get me wrong, the R7 is DEFINITELY better at it... but you're probably looking more in the neighborhood of 50-60% faster on average, rather than a straight doubling. and i'm not saying he SHOULD go for a 7700k anyway, i'm just saying there is an argument for it depending on his needs and desires. don't need him spending thousands on a rig he will be upset with because he does 90% gaming and 10% modeling/rendering and then went with an R7 anyway. just trying to give him all the facts.

CAD can't scale perfectly but it is reasonably close to that. and yea I know it's not double.#

just found some results in a blender 4K rendering test the 1700 (stock) did it in 32.9s something and 7700k in 60.1s so yea, it's roughly twice as fast.

 

 

(look at 7min 10s)

thank you for proving my point as to why I needed to caution OP. Its not going to scale nearly that well in every situation. you can't use one or two examples from one or two programs and make a blanket statement like that. it will be up to OP to check with his specific programs to make an informed decision on the matter.

oh no I know it doesn't scale like that in many applications, in fact most, but CAD software it normally does, cause they expect the professionals to be using octacore CPUs or better, so it does in them. Normally.

its not about what YOU know to be true.... because if you make a blanket statement like that in a forum like this, other people will take it as law and not give it a second thought even though it may or may not be what you intended.

that is true, yep, aye sorry if I ever do that, I always try to advise rather than tell, but me good england have at times  and it doesn't always come off like that
