Cost vs. Performance

To compare price vs. functioning I've taken the current retail cost for each processor from Amazon and you tin can find those links at the bottom of this page.

When looking at Blender, the Threadripper 1950X delivers the best operation as it'due south situated the furthest right on our besprinkle plot and as you tin can run into it also sits lower than the Core i9-7900X since it's also cheaper.

To give you a amend thought of what'southward going on, here is a linear guide from the Ryzen 7 1700 to the Threadripper 1950X. CPUs positioned left of this line represent poorer value while anything to the right is improve in terms of price vs. functioning.

This gives us a skilful idea how things wait between AMD'south cheapest 8-core CPU and its new flagship parts. As you lot can see, the Intel Core i7-7800X and 7820X are very competitive while the 1920X offers the best overall value. The only CPU to deviate a notable distance from the line is the Core i9-7900X and since information technology'south to the left, nosotros find it to be a poor value.

Next up we have Corona and this benchmark looks to be largely dominated past AMD and all four of their CPUs deliver a similar price vs. performance ratio. Intel's best value offer here is the Core i7-7820X while the 7800X and 7900X stand for a rather poor value.

The POVRay price vs. functioning besprinkle plot looks remarkably similar to what nosotros saw with Corona. Once again we see that all four AMD processors provide a similar value, while only the Core i7-7820X looks half decent hither for Intel while its 7800X and 7900X are a bad value.

Finally, I wanted to bank check out price vs. functioning in Premiere Pro CC. The AMD processors look to exist ahead in terms of value, while the Core i7-7820X seems like the all-time purchase out of Intel's Skylake-X CPUs. The overpriced 7900X over again represents a poor value.
