Intel has launched new, higher core count Skylake-X processors. Can they take back the performance crown from AMD’s Threadripper in Keyshot?

Intel has launched new, higher core count Skylake-X processors. Can they take back the performance crown from AMD’s Threadripper in Keyshot?
This article looks at the performance of Intel’s Skylake-X CPUs (including the new Core i9 7920X 12-core) compared to AMD’s Threadripper 12- and 16-core CPUs in KeyShot 7. Several other CPU platforms are also included for reference.
Keyshot is a CPU-based rendering engine that is able to utilize a high number of cores to achieve maximum performance. In this article we will be performing testing to determine just how effective Keyshot is at using multiple cores to determine what CPU models will give you the best rendering performance.
