Why would anyone use such an arbitrary method when you could have a 9800x3D for $40 more?

[colechristensen]

A 9800X3D is $479, my present choice of intel processor is $275.

Is it that much better? Show me.

So much sass for such a googleable thing, good grief.

[colechristensen]

A bunch of people telling me I'm wrong and that I should google why...

I mean just don't say anything if what you're trying to add is just "go look it up yourself"

And now you're being bossy? Good day, sir.

[amypetrik8]

Do you have a source for that?

For the 7800x3d and 9800x3d being really good CPUs? I worked on Cinebench and its rendering engine, so I'll often go by its single- and multi-threaded results, and in a past life I worked on Indigo Renderer and find IndigoBench still works great too: https://indigorenderer.com/indigobench
