Did you complete this build or get any info on your inquiry Shadowkiller?
I'm resurrecting this thread because it is the only one I am finding with a similar question to mine.
I will add is that my Threadripper 2990wx 2nd gen is extremely slow to sim within Tyflow. This has been explained (By Tyson himself) as it doesn't have Non uniform memory access due to how many chiplets there are and there are 2 different memory controllers to access 128 gb via 8 dimms.
This creates massive lag if a cpu process expands beyond one of the 4 Numa nodes. You can limit the 3dsmax/Tyflow process to one Numa node and thus 8c ore(16 threads) but it is still quite slow - and then you are only rendering with 1/4 your cpu.
Similar to you - my old workstation is a i7 3930k and it is about 4x faster during all Tyflow sims and I want something that works faster for sims and comping in AE. My threadripper 2990wx is terrible at those 2 things so I am very curious how the 3950x fares - looking to sidegrade for the lower tdp, faster sims, and improved workflow.
Thanks for any help or info!
