CPU ANXIETY! Xeon® E3-1545M vs E3-1575 - WORTH EXTRA $600?

[violine]

Hi Cartermarino,

as far as I know AMD Ryzen family processors work very well with Rhino and V-Ray, also reported here:

Ryzen Build

Wondering if anyone has built a system using the new AMD Ryzen chip. Its be about 5 years for a refresh of my system and wanted to see if anyone has stepped up. Being Iam still on the fence. What would be the best Intel chip if I go the other way?
