Fastest DDR 4 platform?

As I said you are just trolling at this point.

And as I said, you’re out of touch with reality.

Anyway, I’ve been really thinking about the core question, which this seems to have moved onto (kept me up a little last night) and I have come to a conclusion. The fastest DDR4 system, or systems I’m aware of at least, is almost certainly an IBM power 9 (upto 96 threads) or the very exotic wafer-scale IC.

A 24 core 3000 Threadripper would beat a DDR4 14900 system in multi thread, but the motherboards are really holding there value just now. If you wan to chase single performance then DDR5 is a must anyway making the point moot.

So what is fastest?

How are you always so wrong? - even with the 14900K on DDR4 it still outperforms the 3960X in multi threaded workloads (~38-39K in Cinebench Vs ~30K), ~19K Vs ~13K in GB and slaughters it in single thread and gaming.

The question is what is fastest DDR4 system, implying desktop. The answer is something threadripper but which one? Well there are many…
 
I very much doubt all 12/13/14 gen with DDR4 are that bad like some of you seem to imply as my understanding in gaming at 1080p with a 4090/5090 the average between a 13600K/14600K/12900K/5800X3D/7600(X)/7700(X) are all within 5-8% of each other with the 13 and 14600K being at the top of the stack.

As gaming was more secondary and the system is being used for video encoding not sure if an ARC GPU be an option with some types of video encoding as it has quicksync, hardware AV1 encode and decode where the IGPU on a 12/13/14 gen Intel quicksync and AV1 hardware decoding.

There is no problem doing any of that with a low power CPU. If you was looking to run half dozen 4k streams with time tone mapping, sure drop in a an Arc b50. I’m not sure what any of this has to do with OP though, and thinking about his 5900X would possibly mange anyway.

Post #10 OP mentions video encoding and work stuff, his original post contemplated whether the Intel systems were an option.

What will be the best depends a bit on encoder used, GPU or CPU specific acceleration may have implications here and what the actual work stuff is.
