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
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...
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 Skylake-X series...

Best single-socket CPU power on the market with most applications, Best modelling performance with most applications, Best GPGPU performance (when configured optimally)
Expensive overall system price – £1,200 more than AMD-AMD option, NVIDIA GeForce graphics not validated for professional applications, Behind AMD option for video editing with Adobe applications, Price: £5,754.00 inc VAT (Buy from Armari HERE), Discuss on
On the face of it, this head-to-head would appear to be a relatively clear win for the Intel and NVIDIA-based Armari Magnetar S18X-RD850G2 over the all-AMD Armari Magnetar S16T-RW850G2. But look a little more closely and the result is nowhere near as obvi...

Blazes through workstation tasks with ease, Incredible multi-tasking potential, Competitive 4K gaming performance, Easy to overclock (albeit hard to keep cool), 64-PCIe lanes, Quad-channel memory support,
Poor gaming performance at lower resolutions, Requires a very powerful CPU cooler, Neutral, Some games and software still don’t know what to do with all those cores, “It’s not without its problems, but to see AMD not only competing but winning in workstat
PricingAll prices are correct as of 19/08/2017Currently, the AMD Threadripper 1950X is £989.99, not bad given the performance and price per core. Especially so compared to the Intel i9-7900X which is around the same price at £935.38. Dependant on what you...

Ready for the ultimate mega-tasking, Easier to Install than Intel, Futureproof expandability
More power hungry than Intel's rival, Switching profiles requires a full restart
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X isn't the silicon messiah for all the hype its announcement and launch produced, but that's fine. AMD has produced a very competitive product to go up against Intel's long unopposed Extreme Edition processors.Although the...
The Threadripper 1950X is a seriously fast processor for people who need to do serious work on their PC. Yes, you can buy one and use it in your home PC for gaming, but it's not the best choice if that's all you're going to do. Its Intel rival – the Core...

Superb multi-threaded performance, 1950X is the highest-performance consumer CPU available and the 1920X is generally second-fastest, Excellent price versus performance even compared to Ryzen 7, Quad-channel memory support with high bandwidth results and
” in the review are so depraved you can not even imagine, and lacking 1 star out of 10… For what? For not being available for free?, Oxymorons, Robert Johnson, I have to slightly disagree with the gaming analysis. Many times the reason RYZEN doesn't perf
AMD's Ryzen Threadripper processors are unequivocally fast computational powerhouses. For the first time in many, many years, AMD can justifiably claim to offer the highest performance consumer processor on the planet in the 16-core Ryzen Threadripper 195...
Brilliant unboxing/installation experience, Performs well in multi-threaded scenarios, Decent thermal performance, Supplies up to 66 PCI Express Gen3 lanes
Expensive, No support for NVMe RAID
The last 6 months has been a clear warning to manufacturers that being complacent can be rather unwise. AMD has really ignited the desktop CPU market with the release of their Ryzen CPUs and it really goes without saying that for all those involved, never...
Abstract: It's easy to assume, given Intel's dominance over the last few years, that its products filled pretty much every niche and price point you would need whether you're a gamer or content creator. However, even before AMD's return to form earlier this year, e...
16 cores and 32 threads for $999, Extremely fast in multi-threaded tasks, Forward-looking X399 platform, Quad-channel memory, Brings competition back to HEDT
Single-thread not as good as Intel, Game Mode and Creator Mode confusion
AMD has used the word disruptive to describe the new Zen CPU architecture that powers Ryzen desktop CPUs, Epyc server processors and now, in August 2017, a trio of Threadripper chips designed to rip up the existing high-end desktop rule book.Threadrip...
