  • Abstract:  Today marks three years since AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, the first HEDT chip sporting 64 cores / 128 threads. While based on Zen 2, the shear multi-threaded compute power of the Threadripper 3990X still bodes well today. Besides 64 cores...

  • Abstract:  Next month marks two years since AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-core / 128-thread processor. All of our testing of the 3990X on Linux over the past two years has been with the System76 Thelio Major, which continues holding up well with th...

  • Now that was a lot of fun, and quite eye-opening.Let's start by repeating something we've said a lot throughout this review, namely that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is not for everyone. If you use your computer for a whole range of tasks, then you'll...

  • Abstract:  After reviewing the Threadripper 3990X, it was made clear the 64-core/128-thread beast from AMD lays waste to every HEDT part we have ever tested. It's an insane productivity CPU, that we pushed to extremes to torture a few motherboards just this week. Th...

  • Abstract:  As has been known for a while now, AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors really show their true potential on Linux with often significant increases to the performance thanks to the kernel's better scalability compared to Microsoft Windows. While Microsoft has...

  • Although it was somewhat of a foregone conclusion that AMD would launch a monstrous 64-core / 128-thread 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper processor ever since the initial line-up was announced a few months back, the company made it official at CES 2020 l...

  • Abstract:  If you are looking for the absolute best single-socket workstation performance for Linux, there has already been the Threadripper 3970X that easily outperforms the likes of the Core i9 10980XE as Intel's top-end HEDT product, but now the Threadripper 3990...

  • Describing what AMD is bringing to the table is a conundrum, there are so many superlatives that come to mind that I do not even know where to begin. Each and every time we receive a new Threadripper, and we reviewed them all ever since gen1, they just ke...

  • Coming full circle here, let us talk monster trucks and the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X. Just as a monster truck consumes more fuel, the 3990X consumes more power. Both cost more than their lower-end stablemates. In both cases, that is fine because of the sp...

  • The art to building a good CPU is balance: you want something that is fast for individual streams of instructions and data, but also fast for multiple streams. You need something that is also power efficient, high yielding, and can be put together quite e...
