AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X review





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.

Favorite quote of the article: "I mean if you spend 3990 USD on a 64-core processor to play games, then you're pretty much an idiot."
Guess I won't be buying this, but man quite the beast.
Nice review Hilbert.

No afraid not, I have been looking at that and can not isolate what is happening there, we post what we measure though. We might phase out handbrake, they will not update their software for more cores so there's a point right now it is slowly becoming a less significant benchmark.
do you have any explanation about the 3970x result in handbrake ? it's way above the 3960x and 3990x

That really depends on your requirements and workloads tbh. I mean as I mentioned in the conclusion, load up proxmox and you can create 16 virtualized quad-core servers on just one proc, that's golden. Same for hard-core content renderers that support this many threads.
the 3970x seems the better deal overall
