Hi Qiuye, somehow the one-million-dollar/"budget vs. program specs vs. current/future applications//vs. access to central computing facilities/" question, is it not? As Paul indicated, for a personal/office graphics workstation (maximally 128GB ram memory), a 8-16 core CPU with a passmark

My two cents, if one has access to centralized computing power i.e. CPUs and GPUs for doing the heavy calculations, one will hardly need a 64-core threadripper 3990X (4300 €) in the office especially since most programs profit from quality (speed), not quantity (total number of cores). A 3960x
