Hi Guys,
First time post, and first time I've thought about making the jump and building (or getting someone else to build) a custom PC for me.
I use C4d and Corona Render, so need the build to be fairly CPU heavy. I have a number of jobs lined up so I can safely say I can afford one of the AMD Threadripper series of Processors. Since I have been lurking around here for a couple of weeks trying to best understand what specs I should be looking at, I have read that the Threadripper Processors, especially the 3990x 64 Core processor suffers from quite low viewport benchmark results and as such will be quite laggy due to the low clock speed. The bench scores I've seen for the 3990x are around the 700 mark.
What I am currently confused about is how my current laptop (macbook pro) with a 2.4ghz 8 core processor is reaching viewport benchmarks of around 1050 whereas the Threadripper is much lower, even though it has a higher base clock speed whilst also having the boost functionality up to 4.3ghz. I've tried to find what boost I have on my current laptop - but it seems apple very kindly hides all mention of it!
Could anyone shed any light?
Thanks,
Tom
