I would trade a threadripper for an i5 8600. Sorry AMD.,(reply>), ignigknogt gaming it would be pretty close, but any type of production, it's screwed,(reply>), ignigknogt bruh why would you waste such a good CPU,(reply>), I mean that trade a 8086k for a TR, sell it and then buy the 8700k + mb and still have money left.,(reply>), If you were to use your computer for work you would never say such bullshit,(reply>), Tontete honestly I think my i7 6700 can go toe-to-toe threadripper in terms of gaming.. that's all I need my PC to do play video games ..it literally does nothing else.
