yo if i were to build a computer just for tf2 would i be better off getting a top of the line ryzen threadripper chip or a top of the line intel i9?
does anyone have any benchmarks?
to be honest if i ever scrounge up the money im gonna get ryzen because its cheaper but im still mildly interested

i'm sure they will both run tf2 just fine if that's what you're asking

Kind of a weird question. If you disregard price-to-performance and future proofing the i7 7700K would be the best chip for TF2, but I wouldn't really recommend it for a new build. Why are you looking at such high end chips for TF2? Or is that a hypothetical and you left out what else you'd be using your computer for? Something like a ryzen 1600 OC'd to 4ghz would be astronomically cheaper and achieve fairly similar results.

why would you even look at something that expensive for tf2?
a rule of the thumb though is to go with intel for games, their performance per core is typically higher than AMD's, which is what you want for games

nah its a hypothetical i wouldnt just use the computer for playing tf2 and other games, itd be for audio/video production and rendering stuff but i was just curious if thered be any real difference between the two chips regarding tf2 performance

Neither has been released yet, so how would there be any benchmarks?
No i9s (except for the 7900X) will be released until much later this year, so if you want to buy before then you don't have a choice.
If you're going to use it for anything that does use a lot of cores then you should look at benchmarks for that, since the difference will be larger.
If you're just going to use it for TF2 you might as well buy an i3-7350K, overclock it and get better performance than either at a fraction of the price.

To be honest by the time you actually scrounge up the money we're probably 2 or 3 CPU generations further down the line.
