Hi everyone, my first post here in over 10 years. (New account) I need help regarding whether there is a difference between rendering on different chipsets which are from different companies. Intel vs AMD. Rendering via 3ds max 2020 (Arnold) Standard surface shaders with the maps unwrapped and made in substance, baked out and applied to the correct nodes. (some of the shaders have different settings (Currently) for each part of this product. Rending locally is (Intel) We render to a thread ripper (AMD) via Backburner and our results are completely different. I am aware that the faces on some of the models need smoothing groups sorting (perhaps) and their shaders updating to be the same throughout however getting poly facets on the network render projecting different light bounces - which isn't happening on the local render... Also could the thread ripper have to have a certain settings set up to achieve the same results as the intel chip. Arnold is new to us and so is this thread ripper, We have used backburner on a network for many years using Mental Ray. Arnold and thread ripper has been purchased to take the stress off one of our other servers. Has anyone come across these problems before? Much appreciate all answers

Im planning on putting together a pc with a Ryzen cpu, but I am a bit worried. Will it really perform as good as an Intel? I know it performs well in games, and it has more cores/threads but! Is it really good for rendering, texturing (constant interactive rendering in Max and Corona)? I'd like to hear opinions of people who use it or who switched from intel. Money is not the problem, if the Intel is better or more stable, I'm going for that even if it's double the price. I'm intrested in your opinions as well. Thank you!

Is it really worth buying the i7? The FX 8350 is faster when we look at the numbers and costs half compared to the i7 4770. I saw many people on the internet talking about the 4770 (or 4xxx) processors, but I think the FX 8350 is just as good as some i7 CPUs, but costs less. FX 8350 has 32ghz in total while the i7 4770 has "only" 27.2ghz. What is your opinion?

Do you think it's worth buying a dual socket motherboard and two opteron processors or a 6 core i7, a water cooler and overclock it a bit?
