The Threadripper 1950X continues running close to the Core i9 7960X, the Ryzen 7 1800X beats out the Core i7 8700K, and the EPYC 7601 isn't too far behind the dual Xeon Gold Tyan server.

The Barbershop scene takes longer to render than the other four tests used in this article. Here the Ryzen 7 1800X and Core i7 8700K are quite close in their performance. The Threadripper 1950X continues doing well if considering the price difference (~$800) to the Core i9 7960X at around $1,800 USD.

Lastly was the Pabellon Barcelona render:

With these results basically coming in line with expectations considering the previous results.
