I take it you disapprove. For my exact usage I still think Intel will edge it plus I've already got a Z370 so it's a drop in CPU which will be more cost effective.

I start off in DXO (isn't Prime great!) and then export into LR then finish up in PS. If I'm doing batch processing in DXO (8 photos at the same time) then I've got a 24core 48 thread machine that I will use which works out quicker but for single photos then the higher clock speed generally wins out by quite a bit. If you get a Ryzen then I'll send you my RAW file (with my preset) so you can tell me exactly how long it takes.

So which will you get? As I said this is just for single photo work and the 9700K will probably being doing at least ~5.1Ghz as I'm avid overclocker. Once people start to get their systems in then I will see what the scores are for pretty much my work flow.I was originally going to get a Core i7 8700 non-K as I don't overclock,but after doing some research,I was not going to pay over double for it at the time.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if the 3700x will edge out a ~5.1Ghz 9700K but we will see.I don't think it will...I would buy a B450 pro carbon for £119 and a £329 3700x
Well for strictly games then your answer is clear - Intel. 9700K will save you cash.Think some bits gone of subject I posted about

Well I've only read the Techspot review and watched the Hardware Unboxed video so it must be that everybody else disagrees with them.But its not though...

what you save on 3700x it seems you loose on the motherboards though

If it is a simple binary question. Which is the fastest for gaming overall? Then it is just a simple factual answer - it is still Intel. Don't try and obfuscate the question with bringing in value for money or productivity etc. Even if it only 1% better it is still better and the answer will be the same; Intel is faster for gaming - pretty much all the other reviews I've now read conclude the same.See thats the thing...If you game at 1080p then your argument stands up....
I meant save you cash over a 9900K.But its not though...Depending on resolution a 3700x will save even more cash and destroy a 9700k in everything else...
Good info thanks. My Lightroom exports are just a couple seconds and for anything batch related I would use my 24 core (3.4Ghz on all cores) machine but for single photo processing I use a 5Ghz 6 core 8600K and in DXO this will take ~23secs to export 1 RAW photo to LR. The 24 core machine takes ~40secs for the same photo....
Here is another review:
https://tweakers.net/reviews/7192/8...d-stoot-intel-van-de-troon-praktijktests.html
Lightroom CC is faster on the Ryzen 7 3700X.Panorama is roughly the same. Photoshop is a bit quicker. Photoshop(CC 2019),I think one review put an overclocked Core i7 9700K at 5GHZ was a few percent quicker than a Ryzen 7 3700X running on its stock cooler and at stock clockspeeds. I would give it a few weeks and come back - Intel is also rumoured to be dropping some prices too.....

Also the plugin I use like ColorEfex Pro are not really multithreaded and prefer IPS (instructions per second) for which a high clocked 9700k etc will be faster.
As you say I will wait and see and also try and get actual empirical data for my precise workflow rather than trying to extrapolate from what might be not my specific usage.
Hmm, good info. It will be very interesting to see what the new Ryzen CPU's actually do. I'd probably even consider getting a pre-built system so I can run the tests myself, but that will be in a few months time when drivers, firmware all settle down a bit.My Ryzen 5 2600 running at 3.65GHZ average boost takes about 24.5 seconds to do a single D600 RAW in DxO.IIRC it was with Silver Efex installed at the time.
