I want to know what would be better for fast full load cpu 3d rendering using Arnold or vray in maya which goes on for 2 to 3days straight without reboots. An I7 7740x or amd ryzen 1800x as they belong to the same price range but vary in specs. And what ever processor I choose, I intend to keep using it for the next 4 years atleast.

For editing and rendering, more cores is better than faster cores
For vast majority of gaming, faster cores are better than more cores but some games can already run better on more cores.

The "better" does not mean it will suck big time for the other usage.
It will do just fine.

For price/performance value, there is nothing from Intel which beats the Ryzens.

Gaming on R7 1700 should be something like having an I7 7700 (no-K) but 1700 has more cores, which should allow to perform a lot better on rendering work.

i need it mostly for 3d rendering but at the sametime not leaving behind gaming as im also getting a gtx 1080.
