Threadripper VS Core i9 For Unreal Engine Development In 2024

Video Description

Which CPU is better for game development in Unreal Engine: a Falcon Northwest Talon featuring a 64-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7980X or a custom built gaming PC with an Intel Core i9-14900KS? In this video Will puts that question to the test in custom made benchmarks, but also covers everything else game developers should keep in mind like up-time, customer support, and scalability. The goal is to show how game development in an engine like Unreal Engine can impact which hardware to buy. *This video is sponsored by Falcon Northwest.
