The perfect CPU for rendering has the highest core count and high clocks speeds to render frames as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Top CPUs for 3D Rendering
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Cores: 16 cores, 32 threads
Pros: Few CPUs can offer more cores and better multi-threaded performance, one of the best choices for rendering. It is an inexpensive option for professionals who require quick renders.
Cons: Basic Integrated Graphics
Intel Core i9-12900K
Cores: 16 (8 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores)
Pros: Neither single-core or multi-core performance are the best, but quite strong and balanced which is a good trait for CPU bound software, both rendering and modelling/animation.
Cons: The Core count is a little less compared to the Ryzen 9 5950X, but its clock speed makes it up for it.
AMD Threadripper 3990X
Cores: 64 cores, 128 threads
Pros: Thanks to its ability to render amazingly, the CPU is suitable for professional environments in large studios It is very easy to work on any project quickly.
Cons: Costly and needs a proprietary motherboard
Considerations in Rendering CPU Selection
Higher Clock Speed -For modeling and animation work you will see some improvement from higher clock speeds as a single or lower number of cores are often used to render this file in software based editing.
Picking the correct CPU can greatly diminish your rendering times, giving you quicker project turnarounds and usually a more efficient workflow.
