Abstract: The 32-core / 64-thread AMD Threadripper 2990WX carries a 250 Watt TDP rating, thus the cooling performance is quite important especially if you don't want to hit any thermal throttling with this $1799 USD processor. Fortunately, the 2990WX doesn't requir...

2990WX Falters With Some Workloads, Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel Overall
The Threadripper 2990WX's performance proposition, however, differs depending on the use case. In compute intensive, multi-threaded workloads like those associated with content creation, the 32-core / 64-thread Threadripper 2990WX is an absolute beast. In...
You know, a year ago I was astounded by the fact I would be testing a 16-core processor, with 32 threads. The second best was a 12c/24t part, and while i did not expect it, I said it back then, there is no reason for AMD to not advance on this, as two out...

The 2990WX is a beastly CPU capable of breaking records on rendering tasks. Other processes that can utilize many cores but are not memory intensive could benefit from the 2990WX
Memory bandwidth issues result in inconsistent performance on a variety of tasks. Very expensive. Potentially a onetrick pony that does one thing really, really well, but the others not so much (for the price)

Abstract: Stop, AMD. You had us at 32-core, 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX consumer CPU.You didn't have to make it better by saying this weapon of thread destruction could be ours for $1,799 (available on Newegg Remove non-product link or Amazon )—just $76 mor...
