You have a point but then a 3990X isn't relevant to the vast majority of this reader base in itself. I don't think many readers are paying 4K for a CPU to play games. Anyhow just wanted to let you know about what was found.

I have yet to see someone who has tested to show where the Windows 10 Pro for Workstations or the Enterprise editions pull ahead of the plain Windows 10 versions. I assume its somewhere above 16 cores but Ian certainly showed greater than 64 cores it makes a pretty large difference.


Now TomsHarwdare is saying Anandtech was testing with an old version of Windows Pro.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

some nvidia users have noted that 18362 is significantly slower than 18363 in gaming for the 3970 and 3990, so thats something to keep in mind.

If that is correct then Anand goofed up and need to completely re-do their review, ever since the 19H1 update there have been scheduler improvements specific for many-core processors. I can only speak for myself but for any critical component review, we make sure the latest version, updates, and chipset drivers have been installed.

Significantly? like 3% or more?
