The editors liked

  • Reasonable price per core
  • Lots of horsepower packed into 16C/32T configuration
  • Solid generational performance improvement
  • Indium solder between heat spreader and dies
  • Unlocked multiplier for overclocking
  • Strong Multi-Threaded Performance
  • Zen+ Enhancements
  • Easy Performance Boost With PBO
  • Mature Platform
  • Maintains Compatibility With Existing Mobos
  • Competitive Pricing
  • 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
  • Really well
  • But the others not so much (for the price)

  • Reasonable price per core, Lots of horsepower packed into 16C/32T configuration, Solid generational performance improvement, Indium solder between heat spreader and dies, Unlocked multiplier for overclocking,
  • Expensive platform
  • Ryzen Threadripper 2950X builds on all of the goodness offered by AMD's first-gen Ryzen Threadripper processors, addressing some of our concerns in the process. If you're looking to upgrade from an older CPU to an all-around crowd pleaser, Threadrippe...

  • Strong Multi-Threaded Performance, Zen+ Enhancements, Easy Performance Boost With PBO, Mature Platform, Maintains Compatibility With Existing Mobos, Competitive Pricing
  • 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...

  • 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...
