Warp is majorly light threaded, 2-3 threads, which they mention in the Techspot (not Anand) article (although for me it's typically 1 sometimes 2). Another deal breaker here is that article they're using 3200 on Intel vs 3400 on the AMD platform. WIth RAM pricing the way it is I doubt you'll go above the 3000 mark (especially in Aus while trying to reduce costs for management who only see dollar signs) meaning the percentage is greater the lower the RAM speed is. This is Infinity Fabric after all. You can see this clearly in their memory benchmark table. Another thing to mention is that Warp is CUDA accelerated which means most of the load for that will be on the GPU vs the render which will majorly come down to CPU. The difference between the half minute on the 2700x stock and the 7820x stock isn't anything to write home about, but render times also strictly come down to codec used and extras added to the render. This is something that can't be gauged by benchmarks alone.
To me time is money. Half a minute to a minute on one render can become 30 minutes after a few renders, and hundreds of minutes after a multitude of renders. Subjectively no benchmark can show your proper figure, but conclusively the 7820x (and sometimes the 8700k) is faster than the 2700x stock.
Again, I'm not saying you made the wrong decision, if nobody is marking down times in a comparison nobody will know the difference. Just that the difference IS there and could be bigger down the road based on use case and RAM speed used.
