Hi,
I want to build a new PC. Can anybody help which would be good?
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Core i9 13900K 3.00GHz-5.80GHz
or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5GHz-5.7GHz
Intel has 24 cores but it is 16 physical core and 8 performance core. So, here I would get 16core*3.00GHz = 48 speed for Houdini sim?
Though AMD Ryzen 9 has 16 core, its base speed is 4.5. Should I a get about 16core*4.5 = 72 Speed for Houdini Sim?
I am not good in express, Just want to know what would be good choice.
Also please suggest relevant motherboard, Ram for the budget friendly build.
Thanks in Advanced.
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or Core i9 13900K?

If you need to build a machine right now without delay a 7950X might be a better bet as its proven beyond doubt. Certainly better value. If you can wait a little bit the 9950X might get sorted out with regards to its lackluster performance gains -or even regression in some areas- over the Zen 4 architecture.

johnmatherJust out of curiosity, how much of a performance uplift would that translate to and where? Sim times? Remeshing? VEX?Antti1999Houdini itself doesn't, however some of the libraries that we use can take advantage of it.
Does Houdini take advantage of AVX-512?
If I remember correctly, RenderMan uses AVX 512 acceleration.

But is there a noticeable real world difference with AVX-512?
Karma CPU (as most CPU render engines, except Corona) is extremely slow compared to XPU, so it seems more practical to invest in 4x 4090s rather than 2x 64-core Threadrippers.
Of course, if you're working in a large studio with a massive render farm, CPU rendering still makes sense.
In this day and age, 24GB of VRAM feels like a joke. It seems like Nvidia is laughing at us. I really hope they release 48GB versions of the 5090 at a reasonable price.
If I open Photoshop and Substance Painter at the same time, half of the VRAM is already gone. We’re paying so much for these GPUs, and they’re still not delivering...
We just pretend they’re awesome, but honestly, they’re only great for gaming. Someone on Nvidia’s marketing team needs to address this, 24GB is ridiculously low, and no, Quadros are way too overpriced just for an extra 24GB.

Speaking about CPU differences..try spawning a regular box, then a vdb from polygons, change it to density and set it to 0.0003 so you get 3333x voxels.
I have two machines and one is a Intel Xeon W-2245 it handles it no problem in 14 sec or so never breaking 64gb RAM used while physically having 128GB. The other machine is a Ryzen 5950x it has 64GB RAM, which when doing the same thing runs it right into the 64GB RAM limit and fails to ever convert the box to a 3333x density volume and I have to kill the process.
While doing simple things you wont realy notice any difference, but I do wonder if when pushing the system if there is something benficial for Xeon W, or perhaps even regular Intels. Anyone care to do the same test and say how it goes?
