1900x Threadripper or 2700x

[JohnDongus]

Cant decide which to buy, i know the 2700x has 4.3ghz oc and the 1900x is at 4ghz boost but is there a difference besides that?

2700x all the way. It's newer and almost the exact same as threadripper, and tr4 is much more expensive than something like b450.

If you need a bunch more PCIe lanes then you want Threadripper, but if you just want 8 cores then you want Ryzen.

What are you using it for?

TR Pros:

64x pcie (lots of M.2, Sata, SLI, 10gbe etc)

8x slots

Motherboard compat to 2990WX

Cons:

Expensive Mobos & coolers.

So what are you doing with your computer? I picked up the 1900x myself for the PCIe lanes and the ability of rolling with 128gb of ram. .. Literally rolling cuz my case has wheels!! I think the Ryzen caps out at 64gb in the ram department and 20 PCIe lanes, 16 for the gpu and the rest for storage type action.
