AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX review

How does a 24 core processor with 48 threads sound at a price of 1299 USD? Yeah, it might be a mighty compelling product. AMD is back at it again in their Core wars as they release the Threadripper Gen2 based 2970WX with a base clock of 3.0 GHz and Turbo to 4.2 GHz, this is what we call a massively threading processor.

With the last paragraph, you said AMD pulled a rabbit from it's "head" did you mean "hat" ? Anyway awesome review and thanks.

Why not play game, eh? So here are the two problems with a 24-core processor / 48-thread processor versus gaming. As such, AMD created a pretty cool feature. Basically, they designed the proc to be run in Creator and Game modes.

Small correction here Hilbert but I think you never elaborate on what those 2 issues were. Like a sentence got deleted or something.

I know for gaming it's way overkill, but my lord it is pretty to had all them logical cores!

Awesome review, Its good to see the Dynamic mode offering some good performance in 3dmark without enabling gaming mode, Do you happen to have the version of AMD Ryzen master with dynamic mode available?
