The editors liked
The Threadripper 1920X offers more performance
Uses less power and runs cooler than the Core i97900X. It also supports ECC memory (Intel's X299 platform doesn't). Compared to the Ryzen 7 1800X
The 1920X touts quadchannel memory support and more PCIe lan
Better performance than the equivalent Intel chip for the price
Fully featured platform across all chips
While liquid cooling is a must
Theadripper is easier to tame than Skylake-X
Huge improvements in production tasks over mainstream CPUs
Competitiv
Workstation and productivity applications
Price per core
Solder
MultiThreaded performance
PCIe connectivity
Wildly extreme 32-thread performance
For the same price as Intel's new 20-thread Core X-Series CPU
Platform is overflowing with PCI Express lanes
Great Multi-Threaded Performance
Massive Amounts Of IO
High Memory Bandwidth
Modern Chipset Support
Unlocked And Tweakable
Disruptive Pricing
The editors didn't like
The $1
000 Threadripper 1950X is competitively priced but nonetheless comes at a hefty premium. Threadripper falls a tad behind when it comes to gaming
Overclocking remains limited
Needs a suitably robust cooling setup and power supply
Lags behind Intel in overall IPC performance
Confusing settings
Low resolution gaming performance
CPU is large and will need a robust cooler
Particularly when overclocking
Byzantine installation process compared to mainstream CPUs
Competing Intel chips are better at lightly threaded tasks
Abstract: We just got our hands on the high- end enthusiast-grade flagship processors from Intel and AMD, so rather than doing two standalone reviews, we're throwing them into the ring and letting ‘em slug it out to the bitter end. Because let's face it, if you can...

We've already expressed our thoughts about the Ryzen Threadripper and this retail edition doesn't really adjust the majority of our feelings.If you happened to miss our first look at the Threadripper 1950X then firstly, we're booing you, and secondly the...

Abstract: Last week I was able to finally get my hands on a Threadripper 1950X system thanks to AMD for being able to deliver some Linux tests from this high-end desktop platform. The Threadripper 1950X as a reminder is a 16-core processor with 32 threads via SMT...

As already shared on Twitter, it's possible to get around a 36 second Linux kernel build. If you want to compare your own Linux system's performance to some other early numbers of this 1950X setup, it's very easy once installing the Phoronix Test Suite to...

Before we issue a verdict on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X and Threadripper 1950X, it's time once more to condense our results using our famous value scatter plots. We take the geometric mean of all of our real-world test results and plot that figure agai...

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...
Abstract: AMD's 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1950X ($999 on Amazon ) is an angry Godzilla stomping his way through downtown Tokyo. Those puny 8-core, 6-core, and 4-core CPUs? They're just tanks and army trucks to be punted across the city.Yes, it's that go...

In this review we've covered several important topics surrounding CPUs with large numbers of cores: power, frequency, and the need to feed the beast. Running a CPU is like the inverse of a diet – you need to put all the data in to get any data out. The mo...
