AMD Announces 64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X with 4.3 GHz Turbo at 3990 USD
Over at CES AMD just announced their Threadripper 3990X at 4.3 GHz Boost and 3990 USD. The processor will get 64-cores and thus 128-threads. The product will be available in a few week's time, February the 7th.
Earlier chatter indicated that AMD would reveal the Threadripper 3990X in January during CES, but AMD had shifted the announcement forward already. The 64-headed beast will get 128 threads, and that is unprecedented as that is still tagged as a consumer-level processor, which by the way will work on the TRX40 chipset (we confirmed with AMD). Just like the Threadripper 3960X (review) and 3970X (review), the chip could get a 280W TDP, we still need to validate that.

This CPU has 1600% more cores than my 2500K and 3200% more threads

lmao not sure if any relation between AMD success with hollywood
did u ever take a peek how studios work ? CG production pipeline ?
afaik for movies most(if not all) those rendering is GPU-based, since its much faster than cpu
for small-studios, such final-composition(film record) many go with rental-route, because simply cost-efficient
for game-dev. .... console have their own dev.kit ... their workstation (for artist, coder etc.) might build based threadripper(hedt), but not necessary need to be high-end either.
umm there's a lot of work period that's not special fx, and there's a butt ton of transcoding for "dailies" (work in progress)
and there's a whole class of Indie film maker's you're neglecting - production companies.
and ... BECAUSE of the bandwidth and PCI-E lanes Threadripper is ideal for mid sized production companies AND it's site-mobile.
i do know Hollywood quite well. and production companies run by the talent (i.e. stars) like full control of all assets with security.
i do not know why you assume PCI-e 4.0 isn't important. especially when you have storage and gpu's running at same. and yeah, they'll buy Instinct gpu's just for PCI-e 4.0 because of the rendering speed with Threadripper.

i admit i am wrong with GPU being most used for rendering... most still use CPU ... but again final-composition will always run thru render-farm which is tons of server to render final composition
u believe that terminator x threadripper cm, really? lol
like artist or animator or every department, working on "production"-quality in work ?
so artist/modeller need TR-cores to draw or model a high-quality CG ? or animator need TR-cores to animate? coder need TR-cores to debug ?
cmon i believe u know better than this, right ?
how about watch this ?
Hi there
Most of movies where CGI is used are rendered by CPU based renderers like Arnold or Pixar Renderman but yes I agree its not done on home PC but run through the render farms or render servers
If really you need as artist ThreadRipper or any high count CPU, I would say yes there if budget allows, I do use like CPU based renderers because of limitation of GPU VRAM, I have done few renders which wouldn't fit on any VRAM GPU on market(76GB) and render took me to render noise free I think close to 24 hours on 5960x with 4.7GHz
To draw CG not sure what you meant by it, but most of are models are done in Maya, Mudbox, Zbrush, you off course you can draw it with something like Wacon tablet and PS/Gimp or any other 2D SW but for CG works you are using Zbrush, Maya or Mudbox amd if there ThreadRipper helps, depending on yours workflow, if you are really using lots of subdivision etc then higher count CPU helps, most of new apps already can utilise all cores
In animation department, that's again depending on SW used, some SW still refuse to use more than 2 cores for animation, but some can use all cores available
There are lots of independent movie makers or CG artist which would take both hands these CPU,just due the sheer power of CPU in rendering and other things
Just wish AMD and AIB have released board with 7 PCI_E slots and at least 10 SATA ports
Hope this helps
Thanks, Jura

Aida64 says my 3960x makes 268Watts stock running cinebench20 I'm very interested in seeing how hardware sites are going to cool the 64 cores
coming from an 8 cores I'm surprised in good (not 300% power) but also in bad, air-cooling (TR4 noctua and bequiet) and aio (H115i and H150i) are not enough it works but they are clearly overworked, I wouldn't try 32 cores with my current setup so a 64 no way, especially if logically they make your TRX40 motherboard get hotter I can tell you it generates way more heat that Z390 (especially if like me you have almost all drives and usbs connected it does make the PCH hotter than review setups) going custom loop we'll see how it goes
Hi there
What case do you have and what case do you have?
I have built recently with friend render workstation with 3970X and 4*RTX 2080Ti in one loop, we are used Phanteks 719 there with 3*360mm radiators plus MO-ra3 360mm and CPU temperatures in rendering we are seen in from low 60's to mid 60's with 128GB RAM 3600MHz and several NVMe and 4*2TB SSD
But we are tried just for fun his Thermalright Silver Arrow TR4 and temperatures hasn't been bad at all, without the OC we are seen 68-72°C under heavy load in rendering
Hope this helps

Ryzen power and cooling scales well at lower frequencies and opposite if they are pushed harder then stock, so the lower clocked 64 core is not going to use twice the power compared to a higher clocked 32 core.
A 64 core might go into the 300-400W range and here we find the Intel 10980XE already, the threadripper should be a little easier to cool because of the spread out heat from the chiplets.
