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)

  • I'm not so deluded to recommend people buy a £1600 CPU, it's insanely expensive. However, expensive doesn't mean poor value for money. For those who work in editing and development, time is money. If you can speed up your workflow, as the 2990WX has prove...

  • Capable modelling performance, particularly with product design software, Lots of cores make light work of multi-threaded rendering jobs, Reasonable price for specification, Generous storage, Spacious, well-designed chassis, Relatively low power consumpti
  • Cooling system can't get the best out of the 32-core CPU, Faster rendering available with more powerful cooling and Precision Boost Overdrive enabled, Adobe's Media Encoder clearly not optimised for this many cores, Price: £3,899.00 inc VAT (Buy from PC S
  • The PC Specialist Nucleus is an expensive computer, but as workstations go its price is merely mid-range. You do get a lot of kit for under £4,000, with the whopping 32 processing cores, a reasonable 32GB of RAM, high-end professional graphics, and plenty...

  • AMD looks to have delivered an incredible proposition for design viz, rewriting the rulebook when it comes to rendering on a single desktop CPU. 2nd Gen Threadripper has the potential to completely transform the way design firms use ray trace rendering, d...

  • It's hard to be anything other than gobsmacked by the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, and it's presented at its best by the Armari Magnetar S32T-RD1000G2. This is without question the most powerful workstation processor currently available. The 32 cores bl...

  • Abstract:  It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...

  • Technically better value than Intel, Highest performance we've seen yet
  • One power hungry beast, Not all applications are 32-core optimized
  • The Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX brings the biggest specs on a consumer CPU yet and it has the performance to back it up. Of course, it isn't necessarily for everyone. At $1,799 (£1,639, AU$2,679), it's a steep price to pay for a single chip, and even those...

  • 32 cores and 64 threads, In a multi-core league of its own, Drop-in upgrade over last-gen TR, Quad-channel memory
  • Single-thread not as good as Intel, Very poor at gaming without Game Mode
  • First-generation Threadripper, built on the solid foundation of the Zen architecture, moved AMD's consumer CPU performance into a league that it hadn't occupied for a very long time.The original review opined that 'Threadripper shines most brightly in...

  • Threadripper 2990WX:To start with then, let's talk about the 2990WX. There are clearly some concerning areas in our benchmark results, but it's important to realise what kind of CPU we're dealing with here, as plenty of us have likely got caught up on the...

  • Unprecedented 32-core configuration, Unlocked multiplier for overclocking, Reasonable price per core, Indium solder between heat spreader and dies, Solid multi-threaded performance in some apps
  • Poor scaling in some workloads, Expensive platform
  • Threadripper 2990WX barrels onto the high-end desktop scene with 32 cores and 64 threads, wowing enthusiasts accustomed to four- and eight-core processors. But the unique design has its caveats. You need to have specific workloads in mind able to exploit...
