We review the all-new AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, the behemoth of processors has actually made it to the home office and pro-consumer market at prices that will baffle Intel. This mega-core processor has 64 physical processor cores and 128 logical cores, all powered by ZEN2 architecture. This review is all about shock and awe.

the difference between unplayable and performs where it should.
Significantly? like 3% or more?

unplayable sounds like a big bug. Is that something related to nvidia only? or amd too? Maybe something related to their thread optimization in drivers?

AMD doesn't do multithreaded drivers, so probably nvidia only.

As far as the ram "limitation" i wouldn't say thats the case, its the offical maximum "supported" configuration ,and there are no 64gb udimm sticks yet afaik. As with many times in the past, the maximum is inline with what is available at the time, rather than what is physcially possible, Im sure we will see this change once higher density ics become available, would be nice if amd would support Rdimms, but it is a desktop plaform so not really unexpected.

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.
i disagree about the 3990X not being relevant.
This is not a gaming - pc website, this has always been a tech enthusiast place and games are a large part of it.
Gaming is what moved and moves the pc industry a lot and so here is what we mostly talk about, the fact that mostly no one will spend 4k for a cpu does not matter much since most readers would not even spend 1500 on the latest geforce, but the review is always welcome.
With this logic in mind all the tests around web, data compression, rendering, would be not meaningful.
