Theres no way that many of you NEED an 1800x.. like really? why not vote for something most here actually wants to buy like a 1600 or 1600x instead of just clicking on the most expensive and extravegant option... really annoying that all the actual needed processors by the masses get shifted aside for the excessively powerful and expensive ones. I know damn well 99% of the people who voted 1800x will not buy and/or especially wont need anywhere close to that performance.
OshKoshhonestly 500 for an 8 core is absolutely amazing by itself. I need one for my setup for streaming and gaming and programming in general. If you were trying to go for an 8 core on an intel cpu, you'd be paying 800 or more. And if I can get a deal on an 1800x or even just a 1700, that'd be amazing.
OshKoshAs a computer animator I would. For rendering and postediting. I still am not going with an 1800 because it is worst than a 1700 in an air cooled system
