What CPU to buy

[joebooz]

Im building a computer for music production. Thought I was set with the Ryzen 2700x due to price point but after reading about the single core processing it sounds like Intel might be better. I have now narrowed it to 2700x, 8700k, 9700k, or 9900k. I dont use thunderbolt at this time. I do use a lot of plugins.

Will Intel be worth the extra money I didnt want to spend? (It will cost about $100 to $300 more for an intel depending what one I choose)

If I stick with the Ryzen is there going to be that big of a real life difference?


Thank you in advance
