So i finally have a chance to catch up on the latest CPU news, a few months late...lol
AMD Ryzen 9 3900x is one FAST cpu. it's faster than 1950x (dual 2696 v2) in everything except 64 thread task for $499 retail (unfortunately due to shortage it's more like 600+ right now)... It's only slightly slower than 1950x at 64 threads
The 3950X will probably beat 1950x in everything
so i have no idea why 2696 v2 is still still selling for $250 each. The only thing still going for 2011 v2 is the cheaper ram....
At this point if someone asking for my recommendation, if what they need use less than 128gb ram, i would definitely recommend ryzen 9. only if they need something with more than 128gb ram would i recommend maybe v2 if they have limited budget.
The high end server market still need the ultra expensive stuffs. but for a large amount of people, a workstation with these new cpu seem like fine.?
