Well, I'm working from home now because of the pandemic and all, so my access to really good hardware is limited at the moment. I have two workstations here. One is just a Intel Core i7-8700k with a RTX 2070 Super, the other is a AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT.
I have limited budget . so which better i7 or ryzen 7 ??
I should mention that the i7 is Base clock 3.7 GHz, turbo 5.3 GHz, and the Ryzen is Base clock 4.6 GHz, turbo 4.6 GHz.
I use the i7 more, and I find it slightly faster for most of my 3d work. It's actually less expensive than the Ryzen was. I think this i7 was around $320 new, before it was replaced by the i7 9700k and then the i9 stuff. It's almost 2 years old now. The Ryzen is a bit newer, and was around the same as the i7 back then. They're both pretty good chips, but they've both been replaced by a newer line of cpus.
Thanks a lot !
Actually, I take that back. It's very hard to tell the difference between these two cpu's. The Ryzen is pretty fast too, it's just in a system that I tend not to use as often. My son uses that one more than I do. haha
