Linus Torvalds moves towards AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X platform
Apparently it is high profile news, as any media outlet is reporting about it. There has been a disturbance in the Force as someone went AMD after being Intel-exclusive for 15 years. Linus Torvalds , the creator of the Linux kernel, updated his PC with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X
Yep, he performed an rm -rf "Intel". This is what he wrote about it in a post on the occasion of the release of Linux 5.7 rc7 :
“In fact, the biggest excitement this week for me was just that I upgraded my main machine, and for the first time in about 15 years, my desktop isn't Intel-based. No, I didn't switch to ARM yet, but I'm now rocking an AMD Threadripper 3970x. My 'allmodconfig' test builds are now three times faster than they used to be, which doesn't matter so much right now during the calming down period, but I will most definitely notice the upgrade during the next merge window. ”
Torvalds didn't release any more details about its new setup, but the 3970X is undoubtedly a big heart for its system. Featuring 32 cores and 64 threads with a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and a boost of up to 4.5GHz , manufactured under TSMC's 7nm FinFET process , this Threadripper undoubtedly has all the necessary power for any load you want to run.
We're sure that AMD is happy about news like this.

knew I should have bought the 3970x
guru3d censors my image host for some reason so you will have to get the link in my comments below l1techs video check the gallery link you will see actual wattage on a "real life" computer it's pretty much worst case scenario watts/wise as I have 3 nvme 6 sata 8+usbs water pump custom cooling and way too much rgb
as long as you don't use one or more gpu it's "okay" around 300-400watts at the psu/socket if you add 100% gpu usage to the mix then you better have an air conditioned room lol to test cooling I did H.265 compression for 9hrs in a 4x5m room there was 35°C inside at the end lol
if PBO gives you good performance for your application the power draw and cooling required are incredibly low (PBO basically reduce your cpu watts by half while still giving you good performance...in synthetic benchmarks at least....)
if PBO reduces your specific workload performance you can revert to manual "overclocking" which in AMD case can be under-clocking/volting and you'll get the same perf or better for less watts
to say that AMD Ryzen is weird is an understatement I think I'm going to make a video about PBO because no one believes me when I say your temp goes down during a cinebench run lol AMD opened a door to the 4th dimension lol too bad they made a mess of the idle, otherwise the Intel-AMD gap would be even wider

That is a 2200€ CPU and I thought that 3950X was a bit hard to justify as it's a bit over 800€. I wonder what kind of cooling he went with? Those 32 cores will produce quite a bit heat... I have not been following, do compilers actually support 32 cores?

Hey, I have an extra one , can offer you a discount. Im trying to ebay it but because ebay takes 10% from the sellers + automatically taxes buyers the price is unreasonable, but just trough PayPal it will be cheaper then buying in a store
I want the 3960X but i don't really need it, damn AMD for making such a great processors (can't wait for 4950X).

here you go
cinebenchR20 run default settings 66°C 280/470Watts
cinebenchR20 run PBO 46°C 140/275Watts
now don't take me for a fool I know this "magic" doesn't come free
1st the clock goes down some workloads won't like that, some won't care
2nd as I experienced trying to make this video using aida64 stress test initially the system isn't as stable with PBO (OBS crashed my graphics driver and temporarily corrupted something in my system I had to reboot)
3rd a synthethic benchmark is what it is, just like asrock and it's prototype 2 slots aqua motherboard, just like volkswagen with it's diesel emissions or like Subaru and it's nurburgring lap record with an engine that was running 8000rpm nonstop as soon as a benchmark becomes a staple of marketing, brands are going to tailor their products to get the best scores even if they need to cheat a little

Sort of - to my knowledge, it's still based on ARM, much like the iPhones and iPads. They seem to be pulling a Windows 8, where they're steadily creeping toward a single unified OS and platform.
