i7 8700k vs i7 8700 vs Ryzen 7 1700X

[nOuSE]

Hi,

 

I've been given the task of configuring a new PC but I'm kinda stuck on the CPU departement.

The PC is for professional use only. It runs PrintFactory and SignLab as its primary programs.

 

My first question is, how can I find out if the programs are relying on multithreading or single threading?

 

And second, even though I will not be overclocking the system, what processor should I get? (8700k, 8700 or 1700X?)

Keeping in mind that the PrintFactory recommends a i7 processor. Not sure if they forgot about Ryzen...

 

 

Thx in advance!

Think about compatibility, AMD may not be in there for a reason.

Apparently AMD is not supported so 8700 would be the choice

If pricing isn't really of concern, go with the 8700K, better quad and single core, which will benefit in almost all applications, and only 4% worse in 8+ thread workloads.

Why are you recommending the 8700 instead of the 8700K? The clockspeed difference makes a major improvement.

You may refer to the "Maximum turbo frequency" of the following:

Without OC or MCE features in the picture, both at all (6) core boost shows maximum frequency of 4.3GHz, 1 core boost at 4.6 vs 4.7GHz in favour of 8700K, but that's just minor 100MHz improvement. As OP stated he didn't want to OC, 8700 proves better savings compared to 8700K.

It says no amd support
