The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Really well
  • But the others not so much (for the price)

  • Abstract:  Of course this packing above is simply for show and will not be available in retail.The Threadripper retail packaging this time is not near obtuse as it was last time around and probably best resembles a kid's lunchbox in both form and function. Once you...

  • 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...

  • Strong multi-core performance, Improved single-core performance to 1950X, 64 PCIe Lanes & Quad Channel DDR4 RAM, Backward compatible with X399 motherboards, Competitively priced
  • – Single core performance is weaker than cheaper high end Ryzen 7 CPUs
  • Threadripper has been an undisputed success for AMD and showcases the higher end of their Zen+ architecture. The value-adds like Ryzen Master and StoreMI are legitimate extras that consumers or enthusiasts can use. Pricing is competitive, perhaps even agg...

  • The performance of the 2990WX is interesting, at some points it's extremely impressive, and at other points, it's less impressive. That is basically because of the way the dies are connected, which results in long pathways to certain cores/dies. In applic...
