Compared to gaming, there are certainly much more broad requirements profiles for evaluation in (semi-) professional. Nevertheless, one can consider a certain tendency to give the AMDs Ryzen quite potential, even if it is not always only a matter of the highest possible IPC.
In the end, as always, it will probably be decided on the price and also on the security of the future. If some of the quad-cores still keep up, sooner or later the trend towards parallelized processing will probably continue and prevail. Intel's current six-core without hyper-threading is almost a lazy compromise, as an older four-core with hyper-threading and high clock can often do better.
However, our well-known scheme also applies to this target group:
Again, we see that there are a lot of interactions between all the components we need. Does the CPU really fit into the socket and if so – is the motherboard really suitable? Is the cooling performance of the CPU cooler sufficient and if so – does the RAM still fit under the cooler or does it disturb a graphics card in the first PCI Express slot?
Prices fluctuate like palm trees in the tropical cyclone, and every early adaptor puts a lot of emphasis on it. For this reason, we do not want to make price-related judgments at this point for the time being, because both market-standard price adjustments and a rather limited availability (Intel's Coffe Lake-S) make such statements an absolute momentary consideration, the statement of which is only may be outdated in a few days. That's why we refer to the pure results and leave it to the readers to use the price search engines correctly.
