Re:The AMD Threadripper 2 Teaser: Pre-Orders Start Today, Up... by dragontamer on Monday August 06, 2018 @01:01PM (#17699418)
If you want to use Cycles for animations, you'll probably need the full Threadripper.

Cycles is easily 5+ minutes a frame, maybe 20+ minutes on a threadripper if you have an interior scene or something hard to light. Even with Cycle's denoiser, you need a lot of rays to get a decent animation.

Even a short 10-second animation through Cycles will take multiple days to render on a Threadripper.
