Comparing Intel Core i9-7980XE to Threadripper CPUs

May 7, 2024 General No Comments

Threadripper CPUs

AMD’s Threadripper CPUs, particularly the Threadripper Pro 5995WX and 5975WX, are known for their exceptional performance in threaded workloads. They offer unmatched performance in multi-threaded tasks due to their high core counts and connectivity features, such as 128 lanes of PCIe 4.0 and octo-channel memory.

In comparison to other CPUs, including AMD’s own Ryzen 9 series, Threadrippers generally provide better multi-core performance and support for a larger amount of memory, up to 2 TB. However, they are also known for their higher price point and power consumption.

For gaming and single-threaded applications, a high-end Ryzen 9 CPU might still outperform a Threadripper, especially in terms of frames per second (FPS) performance. But for professional workstations that require heavy multi-threading, such as video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific computations, Threadripper CPUs are hard to beat.

In comparison

The Intel Core i9-7980XE CPU, known for its high performance, has a number of pros and cons:

Pros:

  • Fastest overall workstation performance available, especially for compression tasks.
  • Extremely easy to overclock, enhancing its performance further.
  • Decent wattage efficiency at stock, meaning it doesn’t consume excessive power under normal conditions.
  • 36 computing threads make it ideal for extreme multitasking or very serious video editing.
  • The least-expensive Core X motherboards are cheaper than ones for competing AMD Threadripper platform.

Cons:

  • Terrible value compared to AMD’s Threadripper chips, as it is significantly more expensive.
  • Requires seriously powerful CPU coolers due to high heat output, especially when overclocked.
  • Wattage spirals when overclocked, leading to high power consumption.
  • Extremely expensive, making it less accessible for the average consumer.
  • Not substantially speedier, in many instances, than AMD’s 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, which costs half as much.

It’s an excellent choice for clients who need to do serious multitasking, streaming, or video editing.
