1920x or 7820x?
Hi everyone,
I know this subject is being beaten to death but I have to ask. I am having my first computer built and would like to do it once for the foreseeable future. I will be editing short videos for social media longest being maybe 10min. It is for my business so i'm willing to spend some money to do it right. I do not know a lot so will be learning as I go. Some of the things I'm worried about are which platform will be more stable? . Are the architectures of the cpu's going to make software providers choose which one to program for or will there be balance? Is the threadripper performance really still not optimized and can there really substantial gains made? when comparing single thread performance is TR bad? or just not "as Good"? How important are the extra lanes? Is the x399 platform more upgrade-able and future proof? I realize I probably won't utilize the potential of either but I would rather overbuild.

X399 and 1920X will cost $700 extra over X370/R7-1700....you are within spitting distance of a free GTX1080Ti, effectively...

No one with the 1080Ti breaks a sweat editing videos with GPU rendering/processing being *much* faster than CPU rendering...
Side benefit....? All set for any game out for next 2-3 years....maybe more.
X299 and 7900X run decently at stock clocks...but the water cooling required is not cheap.
1920X is not worth the money imo, Ryzen 1700 build with 8 cores is good enough. OCed Hz is close to those X version. For video editing, 6+ cores is beneficial. Between the two and considering cost, I will vote for Ryzen 1700. Spend money on other components. If you are that rich, go for I7-8700k coffee lake, releasing next week.

Ryzen AMD is coming out as a strong competitor to Intel due to its cost-effectiveness and more cores :) You can do some googling on Ryzen 3D rendering, you will be amazed.
