Great website…
Wouldn’t a mobo advertise that its VRMs would support sustained 253W as a selling point? It was my understanding that AMD couldn’t touch Intel’s single-threaded performance. ST performance isn’t the be-all-end-all performance metric, but it seems relatively important for my use.
You’ve got me looking at Threadrippers now and… 350W TDP???
$500 on RAM seems OK, good to know it’s a bit of a narrow market…
Yes! I’ve even tried it, but the issue I ran into was that my Starlink home connection is… spotty (I really need to move dishy up higher to get fewer obstructions). This results in network dropouts every couple of minutes which is suuuuper frustrating when you’re doing 3D modeling work. Also, working over a remote connection seemed pretty clunky at times with the 3D model manipulation, def not as smooth as local.
Yeah, you’re right. Threadrippers are definitely not the right approach here.
I’m seeing relatively the same multithreaded performance from a i9 14900K as a Ryzen 9 7950X and the 14900K has a solidly higher single-threaded performance according to cpubenchmark.net
