I have moved so far away from intel. You need a big cooler and they still use more power. You can get more performance with AMD while using less power.
It’s been 4 years since I built my last one, but I still think it holds true.
I haven’t experienced any issue with my AMD in the last 4 years. I don’t think it’s an issue anymore. A CPU is a CPU and your OS should tell the CPU what to do.
I've heard Intel chips still run hot, especially the 14th Gen i9. However, I came across this article by Puget Systems (a system integrator who mainly deals with professional workstations rather than gaming rigs) who found that decreasing the PL1, which I assume means Power Level, from 253W to 125W was a good enough tradeoff for performance/heat that it's the default configuration they ship to their customers.
On the other hand, they still do mention that tasks such as UE light baking, V-Ray, Cinebench, and Blender saw gains of 10-18% when using the higher power limit, which seems much more like what OP's workload is. Puget then proceed to recommend a CPU with a higher core count like a Threadripper PRO for those kinds of workloads, so perhaps OP really would be better off going AMD for their workstation.
Thanks for the reply, have you by any chance done any 3D rendering stuff, or anything that really hammers the CPU/GPU together or anything like that? Im really hoping someone from the vfx industry who transitioned to AMD catches this, as some of the 3D plugins can be a bit odd sometimes.
I haven’t. Just intense gaming, coding, and some 2D game design. But I feel like that’s very outdated to have plugins in windows that don’t work with any CPU.
A yeah your offcourse right but, some of my older clients still use ancient software, even for high end 3D stuff lol, and they can afford to keep up the older hardware, my resuorces (and room) are very limited as and independant. Thanks for the advice though, i still havent decided yet.
