POLL: I7 7820 NOW OR I9 LTR

[bigjohnthescot]

So LTT cpu community,

 

 should I buy an i7 7820 after Christmas or wait until February when I know I will have enough for the i9 

case uses:

 video editing ( premiere DaVinci  resolve after effects) ///according to Puget system multiple radeons are a better set up for Davinci I know///

live streaming 

gaming 

photo editing (lightroom and photoshop)

lite rendering (opposed to light rendering :p) 

and all else

cheers

Do you have a computer already? if you have any thing that is usable yet wait until August for the i7 9700k first 10nm lithography processor featuring 8 cores / 16 threads on latest IPC, probably 5ghz... gonna be a true beast of a CPU, much faster than the current i7 7820x in fact I think it'll compete neck and neck with the i9 7900x in multi-threading while run over it in single-thread performance.

The 7820x? Which i9? The 10-core?

i9 is better performance. i7 is better value.

princeess cadence @@!! and bwl it would be the x as i am on the 2066

Barnacules just had a new system built from Puget just for video editing and rendering. According to Puget the chip you want for those tasks specifically is the 7940X. But that chip runs just over double what the 7820X does. But that is really more of a ceiling. What Puget said was that performance goes down on chips above the 7940X, so anything up to that should be better than the 7820X. Even if you just went with the 7900X you are getting 4 more threads to operate with.

 

But, the 7920 loses clock speed. The 7900 runs 10 cores at 3.3 stock, the 7920 12 @ 2.9, and the 7940 14 @ 3.1

Nah actual best value would be the locked i7 8700 on cheapest z370 possible... the unlocked 8700k on expensive z370 realistic speaking adds negligible gains in performance for the high price.

 

OP did not mention the need for pci-e lanes, quite frankly the Coffee Lake processor would be better than any x299 for him since Mesh Cache on x299 hurts gaming performance quite hard while Coffee Lake is game king now, streaming is perfectly fine on the i7 8700 it performs like the Ryzen 7 8/16t processors and can use the iGPU to QuickSync increasing performance, photo editing is heavily single thread depended so faster cores is better....

 

6c/12 still enables a lot of multi-tasking... lite rendering... can't it be CUDA Accelerated any ways?

 

So yeah I would either wait Ice Lake if I had something working now or go with the i7 8700(if wanna save money) or i7 8700k(if wanna spend money).
