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

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: It is highly likely that you already know what AMD's Threadripper actually is in terms of specifications given all the recent coverage. Here is a quick chart that will give you the basics that you need to know. While we are not reviewing the Threadripper...

Hopefully you've been paying attention these last many pages, as the launch of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor and X399 platform is not a simple read-the-last-page kind of release. From a technology and architecture stand point, what might at first a...

We've got one item of hardware which comes with an unhesitating recommendation and one that has a little bit of a caveat to it, although nothing that you probably couldn't have imagined yourself.Starting with the unhesitating one, the ASUS X399 ROG Zenith...
If you need Threadripper, you'll know it. Heavy multitaskers, streamers, those who regularly use heavily threaded applications or have heavy PCIe requirements will all experience competitive performance. The recommendation comes with a caveat, though...
Well, that's a bunch of processor performance alright - pretty cool, huh? The word 'amazing' is the one word that keeps returning while I was testing this platform. First off, this - you will not need a 16 or 12 core processor for your gaming needs, I mea...

AMD's 16-core Threadripper 1950X is no-brainer for serious content creators and uncompromising multi-taskers. It also handled our test game titles better than Intel's competing Core i9. Just know that compatible X399 motherboards are pricey, at least at...

Abstract: A Sneak preview on Ryzen Threadripper processors A meet & greet with the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X and 1950XSoon the AMD Ryzen Threadripper review will go live, however to fill that gap in time AMD has allowed the media to show some photos of the press-kit...
Abstract: AMD recently announced that their new 16 core / 32 thread Threadripper 1950X CPU will retail for $999, while the 12 core / 24 thread 1920X CPU will come in at $799. These sums seem kingly until you realize that they're meant to compete with Intel's 18 cor...

Abstract: We already know a lot of about Threadripper, AMD's answer to the X299/X99 high-end desktop platforms from Intel, including that they would be coming this summer, have up to 16-cores and 32-threads of compute, and that they would all include 64 lanes of P...
