Lower application & gaming performance than Threadripper 2950X
Low single-threaded performance

Issues in Far Cry 5
High effective price
Requires quad-channel memory for optimum performance
Single-threaded performance leaves something to be desired
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...

Abstract: A pure workhorse! After our closer look at the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, we have also got our hands on its sibling, the Threadripper 2970WX. The 2970WX has 24 cores and can execute up to 48 threads, which is another eight cores and 16 threads more tha...
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...

Abstract: This year AMD launched its second generation high-end desktop Ryzen Threadripper processors. The benefits of the new parts include better performance, better frequency, and parts up to 32 cores. We tested the first two processors back in August, the 32-co...

Abstract: Later in August, we first got our hands on the Threadripper 2950X and 2990WX, the 16 and 32-core variants. Even though both of these parts were reviewed at the same time, the 2990WX was available first, with the 2950X coming a few weeks later.Now more...

To little surprise, the AMD Threadripper processors tended to offer much better value than the Intel Core i9 processors.In some cases, the difference is quite extreme.Even in the single-threaded tests where Threadripper was behind the current Intel CPUs...

But those graphs don't tell us everything about this comparison in terms of value. Usually AMD tends to catch Intel out with better motherboard prices along with the inclusion of a decent included cooler, but that's not the case with Threadripper. The che...

Single-threaded performance leaves something to be desired, Expensive platform
Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX comes equipped with 24 cores and 48 threads. But there are caveats to consider. For instance, some applications fail to exploit the CPU's full complement of execution resources. As a result, the 2970X is only ideal for certain wo...
Pinnacle Ridge (ZEN+) brought Threadripper what they needed, better yields on 12nm offered them the ability to lower voltage a bit, thus increasing the clock frequency. The conundrum of it all is simple, I did not expect a 32- and 24-core part but they di...
