choosing between 10940, 10920 and 10900

[PeppaPigKilla]

Hey people

I'm torn between these three CPUs.

I know I can get better value and performance with AMD but that's a no go and I'm not going to budge on that either.

My current uses are gaming, streaming, and video editing with some development on the side.

The board I will have is the Asus ROG rampage VI extreme encore

64gb corsair 3200MHz ram

Titan RTX

I'm set on the card so I don't want to change that.
I know i've gone overkill on a lot and im comfortable with that.

case is
CORSAIR CRYSTAL SERIES 680X RGB GAMING CASE

This I'm willing to change too

The monitor is Asus PG348Q
and
BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P monitor

So which would be better 10900 10920 or 10940 ?

Thanks guys

Not really much anyone can say if you've already made up your mind, to be honest. If you're dead set on spending all that money already why not just go the whole hog and get the 10940?

CPU is something i am flexible on. I know I'm coming across stubborn here, its only because i have read several posts and a lot end up on people going with AMD instead, so im just laying out my table on what i want to keep which is almost everything i know.

And all those CPU's are based on a 14nm process that is a good 5 years old as well.

Stubborn is one word for it. Wasting your money on a 14nm, 5-year old CPU die is another, but it's your £ to burn.

ok now we have established my frivolous spending out the way do you have a suggestion on whether in your opinion there is any need for 10920 or 10940 over the 10900?

I'm only asking, I didn't come here to be judged.

 

[PeppaPigKilla]

i've saved some money and gone with the 10900

Seems like a pointless post if you weren't even going to wait for feedback and made the decision yourself.
Best of luck with the new PC

There was no judgement and I'm sorry you felt that there was, but there is equally no point in anyone trying to help when someone opens with statements that they've made up their mind and it isn't for changing. It isn't really asking for help as much as telling people what you've decided.

Which is fine but you cannot then be surprised at a lack of helpful responses as you've left nowhere for anyone to go and after that, those CPU's simply come down to a personal choice and there's no technical benefits of one over the other.

If you're happy with your purchase, that's all that matters, at the end of the day.

I'm sorry but I wouldn't be being honest if I didn't point out what a dreadful dreadful decision you're making here:

They are AWFUL processors, even if you take AMD out of the equation, they are awful! They have a million unpatched security issues as a start, they can't reach their potential speeds because they run too hot, they actually perform WORSE than the 9000 series.

I was avoiding calling that out, to be honest. It seemed a bit pointless. But, yeah. Totally agree.

Usually when someone says something along the lines of Intel over AMD it's purely down to ignorance and not knowing the facts, I feel compelled to educate them.

That's why most people end up choosing AMD, it's because once they see the evidence against Intel's offerings, there is no other lucid decision to be made.

It's great to see AMD back in the Enterprise as well: https://www.amd.com/en/campaigns/amd-and-hpe

They lost out last time round because of things like not being able to live migrate virtual machines between hosts that had different CPU's so for a lot of companies that had invested heavily in the likes of VMware, they had no choice but to stick with Intel.

Cleverly though now, you can mask some of the incompatibilities so it's less of an issue.

I was also reading that a "cloud" operator has added 10,000 Epyc servers to their compute platform: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/04/29/amd_q1_fy2020_epyc/

Thank you all for your response. The choice over intel for amd is personal for myself as I’ve never had good experiences when using amd so it has put me off.
This is an order I have already put in for so I’m limited on what I can change. I discovered the forums after i ordered which is a fault of my own.
My cpu choices are the ones listed and one i7 so this is also why I can only choose one of these as I am unable to select any others.
I only stated I didn’t want to move on certain components to save yourselves time on educating me on the benefits of them.

The sensible thing to do would be to cancel the order and get some advice on an AMD build.

AMD since 2015 are nothing like the same company they used to be. Nowadays, people don't choose their processors because of value because they're cheaper but still have some performance as they always used to be, nowadays it's purely and simply because they're streets better in almost every avenue, but SIGNIFICANTLY better (talking double the performance for less money) for your multithreaded workloads.

I had 2 AMD systems for my kids in the last 3 years and they were awful. I see everyone here prefers amd for the reasons stated.

without sounding like I’m ignorant which you may think I am, I don’t want AMD. This will look stupid crazy or both to many of you.
Thank you all for your time. Can this thread be closed please.

Honestly, as I said earlier, if you are happy with your choice that is all that really matters.

And for the record I currently own a single AMD device that is turned off in a cupboard somewhere and is at least ten years old.

Both my servers are Xeon-based. My laptop and both my son's laptops are i7 or i5 CPU's.

When I was looking to refresh my laptop AMD choices were limited and ultimately the price I paid for the one I got far outweighed other factors (literally £1,000 lower than retail and less than a grand made it a no-brainer).

Hopefully you will get many years of good use out of what you're buying and I genuinely do mean that.

They weren't Ryzen 2, completely different ballgame.
