UE4 - intel 7700K or AMD 1800X?

[anonymous_user_3b4c8d46]

From what I’ve seen from benchmarks so far, the 1800X is not as good as a straight gaming processor as the 4C/8T 7700K, but for heavily multi-threaded tasks it can match and sometimes exceed the 8C/16T 6900K. In case of UE4 development, with relies on plenty of multi-threaded tasks like compiling C++ code, baking lightmaps or compiling shaders, the 1800X might do very well and provide excellent value.

Actually you’re partially wrong there.
Your basis on the 1800X not being a good gaming PC is due to the rumours of it having lower framerate yes.
Although what you did not consider was the framerate drops. The 1800X has much less/lower framerate drops than the competitor Intel’s CPUs. Which means, it may just as well be much better at gaming.

To TS. In my opinion, go for Ryzen ;D
