Help a newbie to "Ryze" from a 3930k

[Ishimuro]

Good evening dear visitors of this thread.
I come to you, not beeing to deep into hardware, but with the will to learn.
My Rig currently runs a 3930k @4ghz, which it maintains since what feels like decades. So now the time for change has come and I was happy AMD came along with Ryzen. But I struggle to find numbers and graphs to compare both CPUs. In different Forums I read fanboys stating to stick to the 3930k because Ryzen would be the same performance wise, which seems odd to me because six years are a lot of time.
I play games passionate, but the upgrade would be for the Adobe suite mainly with a focus on Video editing and rendering.

So... Anyone mind to shed some light? Would Ryzen be only a baby step up for me or a leap of half a decade and two cores? ;D

Thanks lads, and may your circuits never fry.

It would be a good upgrade since you are doing Video Editing and rendering. Although if you use a GPU to do those tasks, it wouldn't really matter much there.
For games, I would bet you would see a performance boost. Not sure how much, no data on that afaik.

Really I think it comes down to budget and if you are willing to spend the money. Outside of performance, you are massively updating your chipset and mostly IO. Supporting all the latest IO is never a bad thing.

Thanks Just hard to imagine without one of toms huge graphs where I am and where I'd go

I use the GPU to help with CUDA whilst encoding, still I think the grunt of the work is done by the CPU.

I went from a 5930K at 4.50GHz to an 1800X clocked to 4050, Mainly because I just wanted to support the red team but I was pleasantly surprised, Rendering times have come down and other people are reporting the same that certain games "feel" smoother when compared to the 5930K so going from a 3930K to a 1700/1700X/1800X would be a nice step up

That's so good to hear <3 Guess the Piggybank won't survive for long now xD

There were reports about how Ryzen frame times were lower than Intel's. Not sure if it has been proven

Ryzen frame times appear to be just as consistent if not more consistent than i5's and i7's that are clocked really high. 1% and 0.1% lows are quite good generally, better than the average frame rates really.
