Excel tends to not able to utilize multi threaded workloads that well and even if you have so much power at your disposal.. also better to use ECC ram as if im not mistaken, Ryzen supports it.
But generally, also expect crashing midway with such big datasets (altho 1GB is still considered small) regardless of how many cores or rams.... for this kind of workloads usually xeons are used for reliability.
So for you, just sell whichever you can scalp for the highest margin/profit which is the 5800X at the moment.
Thank bro. Will look into it. As mention. I dont want be a scalper. As my rig got fried that why i built new rig. And i know its pity for those enthusiast like us wanted to get a rig. That why consider selling it at 2k.
And yeah.. i try find alot of article how to make my excel dont crash but can't find any. Sadly. But i know with more ram , its better. i got 2 set of 32 gb of 16 x 2 corsair vengeance rgb pro 3600. 64gb kinda killing but works well with my rig now.
Wanted to built intel as its cheaper but then I anti Intel nowdays haha.. too much monopoly and wanted give team red a win here.
My initial plan was to get Asus X13 flow but after weeks of pesturing asus malaysia they mention not bringing it in. The Ram is damn fast and got egpu of 3080. But sad part is hdd is only small m2 of 1tb only.

Monte Carlo sim is one of the better multithreaded examples with Excel. But cyberpunk/ACV doesn't get more juice out from the second CCD. So for whether the 5900X is worthwhile - depends entirely on how well his Excel workloads already use his 5800X.
ECC is why Linus Torvalds is a huge fan of Threadripper and ditched his Intel HEDT setup, because to him unofficial support is better than nothing. There's a rant of his about ECC last month in LKML last month IIRC.
I've seen scalpers trying to sell 5800X for 2.3k before.
Gg.. i should buy ECC ram instead of gaming ram.. Will check whether my MSI unify X570 can support or not. I know it support up ot 5000 mhz speed in ram overclocking. Low profile motherboard. Seem not much people buy this though.
