AMD THREADRIPPER VS INTEL SKYLAKE X

So just the video.

At 4.8ghz @ 1.25v with stock paste it was hitting 94C.

At 5ghz @ 1.32v with delidded chip hit 89C.

I would suggest the difference is a lot more than 10C.

Actually the 7700K would just fall behind given what we know happens to it more of the workload is offloaded to the GPU.

The 7700K here is a 98%, it has nothing left to give while the 1700 has plenty of headroom for a more powerfull GPU ;)

and yet as shown multiple times by multiple reviewers ryzen falls far behind the 7700k in gaming....

X299 Skylake X is clocking like a monster on ambient. Well at least the 10-12 cores are. QS ES 14-18 not ready yet. So believe me Intel can easily reach and way outperform what Thread ripper is offering in terms of clocks and performance. Obviously the cost will be higher even for a lower core count if you go with Intel but performance higher per core and OC headroom much better.

I think everyone expected that. Better single-core performance due to higher clocks, but at a (much) higher price.

This will be the norm once devs stop using archaic engines. Some people are too short sighted to see that.
 
why are people talking about gaming in the high end desktop thread. these threadripper and skylake x arent for gaming. they are for doing loads of things at once or very cpu intensive things.

I can see Skylake-X being viable for very high end gaming (multi-GPU) but yes, aside from that these chips are not aimed at gamers. Which is why I think X299 will struggle the more people hear about AMD and the more Intel's brand advantage fades - if you're buying these systems, it's usually for high multithreaded throughput. In that case, why would you want 10 Intel cores when you can get 16 AMD cores for the same price? The increase in single threaded throughput on the Intel cores in this example won't matter.

Nowadays many gamers stream and/or use capture cards; you want those cores!! Additionally, more cores can be used occasionally in games and that'll only grow.

to be fair most serious streamers will use a dual pc setup, not one machine for both.

the only streamers I see are extremely budget constant ones that can only use one machine, but then they're just like the other million twitch streamers you see with 2 viewers per night.
 
Yeah hardcore streamers will try and use external capture where possible either a dedicated device or a system setup to composite multiple sources in realtime for instance so if their gaming system crashes they can continue to keep the stream running (and fill in with some content/themselves talking) while recovering it as going offline very quickly results in an audience drop that isn't easy to get back.

Or internal capture card that use pci-e slots that intel what you to pay top dollar for the non gimped editions. x2 graphics cards? That'll be $999 please.
Why has nobody mentioned the DLC RAID key that they want to charge for either?
Imagine if this was samsung or apple, there would be a lot more fuss about it.
