Optimal CPU in a new $ 2-4k build 2024年3月16日3:49
I did some more digging and I put together these graphics i found on gamersnexus [gamersnexus.net] that compares the threadrippers, i9-14900k, and 9 7950x... They dont benchmark houdini specifically, but based on the results found from other simulation benchmarks it looks like the Intel CPU might actually be better?

Hey there,
I am looking at getting a new system and am curious to see what you guys would recommend for CPUs.
I'm currently leaning towards the Ryzen 9 7950x (3d version maybe?), but don't know if its the best bet compared to the other options.
I have been trying to wrap my head around all the different technical specs comparing CPUs and haven't been able to very clearly see a "winner". Does anyone know how AMD's 16 cores compares with Houdini sims against an Intel i9-14900k with its different core structure? On paper the AMD's 16 "performance" cores should beat out the intel performance /efficiency cores right?
But I've seen a handful of speed performance graphs where intel wins in single and multi core jobs. A comment on vfxArabia attached below has this Houdini benchmark showcasing some stats where last years intel is beating out the current 7950x.
Is an entry level ThreadRipper 7960x / EPYC / Xeon setup worth the extra cash? I'm not sure how well utilized the additional cores will be and how having a lower clock speed affects the overall Houdini experience. Or if its even worth the headache getting into the server side of PCs.
Thanks!
