Great reviews as always Hilbert , good read , thank you for the very in depth reviews.
I cannot wipe my big smile off my face after reading the review of the 2990wx
, that Cinebench R15 score it's nuts , wprime was so fast i believe Hilbert you did not have time to blink before it was finished
. What AMD has done it's absolutely marvelous and nothing short of amazing !
Incredible cpus , over at hwbot overclocking benchmarks world records are falling left and right right now with this cpus , what a beautiful day it is to be a geek , nothing but hwporn
.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn did you try to overclock the ram as high as could go and or tight timings ? Please can you try it if you have not done so and update us with the information on the scaling of memory mhz and Cas latency tight timings versus loose timings , i believe there is some great gains to be had but i do not have a cpu 2990wx to test it for myself. Thank you in advanced.
Kind Regards: Chispy

I thought the extreme versions of timespy supported high thread counts? If so its time to upgrade the testing tool set.

thanks HH, thorough as usual.
even more impressive is a 4k Blender run. watch you tube content guys go nuts in the coming days and weeks.
i've seen the 2950x do 5X the speed of the i-9 (space heater).
and i'm gonna pre-order the EK monoblock as soon as they announce
