AMD vs Intel

Does anyone know how well AMD chips work with 3ds Max compared to an intel chip? are there quality differences?

I am trying to determine what would be better between these two. (Ignoring the price difference)


AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16 Core CPU (3.4GHz, 40MB CACHE, sTR4)

vs

Intel 12 Core/24 thread i9 7920X Skylake-X



Thank you for any advice you have,

/Richard

I can't find any suitable benchmarks using 3ds max and those chips sadly, you can compare their performance doing other tasks which could help the decision.

If money were no object you could wait for https://videocardz.com/72680/intel-core-i9-7980xe-early-benchmarks

Which according to early/leaked benchmarks seems to offer more multithreaded performance than Threadripper.

Of the two above I'd have probably gone with threadripper for rendering as I don't think Intels IPC advantage and any boost to frequency closes the gap from 12 to 16 cores:

But as Steaky says there don't seem to be any direct benchmarks.
