    Depends what you are going for. 7000/9000 series have way more per-thread performance than threadripper.

    Another quirk with single CCD 7000 chips (which I have as well) is that the infinity fabric limits effective bandwidth to the CPU cores. Even with two channels, you hit diminishing returns with higher speeds, especially if you aren’t using the IGP.

    You can get around it overclocking the IF, but it gets complicated and its much easier to do with 9000 series CPUs.
