The 2990WX is a beastly CPU capable of breaking records on rendering tasks. Other processes that can utilize many cores but are not memory intensive could benefit from the 2990WX

Price. Limited value for money
Conclusion
2990WX Falters With Some Workloads
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel Overall
Expensive platform
Gaming performance not as high as consumer-grade CPUs from AMD and Intel
High price
Lower single-threaded performance than Intel CPUs
Requires quad-channel memory for optimum performance
Memory bandwidth issues result in inconsistent performance on a variety of tasks. Very expensive. Potentially a onetrick pony that does one thing really
We recently updated our Linux testing suite a wee bit, making minor changes, but at the expense of dropping all single-threaded benchmarks – by accident. We hadn't thought much about every single set of results being hugely optimized for core counts, whic...
Regardless of what your budget is, there's a CPU that can meet your needs without emptying your bank account. Faster and more efficient CPUs are released every year, so there's no reason to pay for more than what you really need. But if you're an avid gam...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018, b...
The Intel Core i9-9980XE is an interesting beast. Let's get this out of the way, Intel has, and continues to be "the" processor to have if you are a gamer. Intel has better IPC and core clocks than anything AMD has to offer. There is a big caveat to that...

4.2GHz / 3400Mhz was the target I had in mind when we got to playing with the Threadripper 2950X and that is exactly what we got with our XSPC custom water cooling loop. I cannot say anything bad about the MSI MEG X399 Creation either as it performed perf...
Abstract: While you might be familiar with AMD Threadripper installation, we give you a full installation video from start to finish covering your 2950X and 2990WX CPUs along with the new Cooler Master Wraith Ripper air cooler install. We cover two different types...

Designing a processor is often a finely tuned craft. To get performance, the architect needs to balance compute with throughput and at all times have sufficient data in place to feed the beast. If the beast is left idle, it sits there and consumes power...

The story of the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X is a simple one: it offers a nice boost to single-threaded performance over the Threadripper 1950X that users will most likely notice in games and desktop use, and it costs $100 less than the 1950X did on its win...
