Hi Jon,

I’ve always pushed the Intel i7 for my users (Xeons were too expensive/not easy to find in a notebook) and AMD just didn’t render at anything like the speed. However, I am also very interested in the Threadripper – it’s an excellent price for such a powerful (on paper) processor. Unfortunately, my budget will not justify buying one as a test bed so I am hoping that your post will bring someone out of the woodwork!

I agree with you on the rendering side – the render seems to max out the processor.
