Hi all
So with all the hype surrounding how great 3900x is over the Intel 9900k, on the international scene people are raving about the costs vs core performance of the 3900x @ 1080 resolutions.
I haven't really seen anyone talk about the 1440 or 2160 resolutions nor the ludicrous costs of the x570 motherboards.
Back here in SA, reality is 9900K is around R9300 vs rumoured 3900x priced at R9700.
board of the Intel starts from the 2k mark for the z390, while on the x570 starts around the 4k mark.
Benchmarks seems to indicate AMD outperforms Intel on multi threaded applications. While gaming the Intel still seems to hold a tiny advantage over AMD
I am considering on upgrading from my current 4790 to the newer tech, what are your guys thoughts? Should I wait a couple months and see what Intel comes up with?
I do software dev work and some gaming (minimum) now days so priority doesn't really matter - just a matter of a new tech that will keep running for the next 5-10(hopefully) years
