When comparing the Threadripper with Intel Core i9 series, Threadripper processors have a higher number of CPU cores in similar price point. You will have to pay 50% more money to get a 12 core, 24 thread Intel i9-7920X, instead of the 1920X.
The Threadripper CPUs have qual-channel memory support and 64 PCIe lanes for increased popularity of add-in cards.They have a TDP of 180W.
Peformance
In AMD’s product updates, it shows how the Threadripper runs in Cinebench R15, a benchmark program that test 3D rendering. AMD compares the 1950X and 1920X with the i9-7900X.
The 1950X comes on top with a score of 3062, about 43% higher than the i9-7900X. The 1920X scores less with 2431, still 12% better than the i9-7900X. Please be reminded that AMD’s test is not based on the same core count of the processors, but their prices.
If we take a look at the price-to-performance ratio, we will be able to find out which is the best bang for the buck enthusiast grade CPU.
The Intel i9-7900X has a ratio of 2.17 marks per $1 USD. The comparable 1920X scores 3.04 marks per $1 USD, slightly lower than the 1950X’s 3.07 per $1 USD. The Threadripper performs more than 40% better at the same price.
Take all the above results as reference only, because we do not know how AMD’s test machines are configured.
