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
The editors didn't like
Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
Conclusion
Expensive platform
2990WX Falters With Some Workloads
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel Overall
Memory bandwidth issues result in inconsistent performance on a variety of tasks. Very expensive. Potentially a onetrick pony that does one thing really

2990WX Falters With Some Workloads, Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel Overall
The Threadripper 2990WX's performance proposition, however, differs depending on the use case. In compute intensive, multi-threaded workloads like those associated with content creation, the 32-core / 64-thread Threadripper 2990WX is an absolute beast. In...
You know, a year ago I was astounded by the fact I would be testing a 16-core processor, with 32 threads. The second best was a 12c/24t part, and while i did not expect it, I said it back then, there is no reason for AMD to not advance on this, as two out...

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...

Abstract: Stop, AMD. You had us at 32-core, 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX consumer CPU.You didn't have to make it better by saying this weapon of thread destruction could be ours for $1,799 (available on Newegg Remove non-product link or Amazon )—just $76 mor...
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...
