The editors didn't like

  • You'll need a good motherboard for overclocking
  • Price puts it out of range for many people
  • Extremely huge price tag
  • IHS uses thermal paste instead of solder
  • Some games might not work (Anno 2205)
  • Not substantially speedier

  • I can see the Ryzen 5 2600 and the 2600X fast becoming the most popular chips of the second generation Ryzen launch. They're fast, they're affordable, and they're easy to keep cool and overclock. I mean, if you're just doing a massive amount of rendering...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Not entirely unexpected, but Intel is back in the lead in most multi-threaded CPU-benchmarks. It would be difficult for them not to be: the Core i9 7980XE with 18-cores has two cores more compared with AMD's top model Threadripper 1950X. Aside from that...

  • Exceptional performance, Single-core results are incredible, Mature chipset and platform
  • Price, price, price, Monstrous overclocking power draw, Still no soldering between dies and heatsink
  • So then, the big one. The price. $1,999 (about £1,480, AU$2,510) for a processor is nothing short of insane. Intel needed to come out swinging with this one, especially given just how cost-effective Threadripper is in contrast. You are also losing out on...

  • The fastest CPU we’ve ever tested, by a significant margin, Extremely easy to overclock, Huge core and thread count, A must-have for content creators, Great for work and gaming,
  • Requires seriously powerful CPU coolers, Extremely high power requirements, Neutral, Hot and power hungry it may be, but it does turn out some big performance figures, Expensive, but you do get a lot for your money, “While the cost, the power requirements
  • If you have to ask, then likely not. This is not a cheap processor and for those planning a gaming system, it's complete overkill. If you're building a workstation, rendering rig, or plan to do game streaming with extreme resolutions and graphics, then it...

  • Class-leading performance, Out of the park when OC'd, Decent wattage efficiency at stock, Solid upgrade path on X299
  • $1,999, Wattage spirals when OC'd
  • The high-end desktop CPU space has become far more interesting this year. AMD has brought massive multi-core processing to the table in the form of the Ryzen Threadripper trio of CPUs, headlined by a 16-core, 32-thread part known as the 1950X.Intel's...
