Hello,
I'm interested to know how many VEP owners here are using Ryzen processors as their slave / host machines such as Ryzen 7 1700.
Drop a line to mention how well it does - It should be around the performance of Intel i7 5820K or slightly better if the benchmarks hold up in real world performance - Thanks
Hi fraz,
In our experience, people in the audio industry are using 98% Intel processors...
Best,

Hi,
Most of my CPU's are Intel but I did get some AMD AM3+ 8350's to use at some point. Ofcourse I don't expect them to be as good as Intel's !!! but they will do OK if two of them are used in 2 systems with a reasonable amount of RAM.
Regarding 1700 Ryzen I do have one but not used yet which is why I was asking.
Back to Intel CPU's - namely the 6950X - Is there a single E5 XEON processor that would outperform the 6950X?
I've looked Xeons up - 2687W, 2699, 2680 are popular E5's - But are any of the E5's better than 6950X or just on a par on a single CPU basis? - Ofcourse someone can add two E5's which would be better - 😃
( If you want to save half the money you may consider i7 7820 with 3,6 Ghz but only 8 cores still seem to outperforms 6950 a little bit)
Yes the 7900X looks really good as well as the 7820X - 7820X has a huge benchmark score which looks very close to 6950X but with 28 PCI-e CPU lanes.
Has anyone thought about AMD 1920X / 1950 X?
Just to repeat I do have more Intel CPU's than AMD but with better AMD CPU's now available and the Threadripper on multi-core performance is a monster with 16 / 32 -
