We'll double it up once again, meet this 24 core processor with 48 threads sound at a price of 1387 USD? Yeah, it might be a mighty compelling product. AMD is back at it again in their Core wars as they release the Threadripper Gen2 based 2970WX with a base clock of 3.0 GHz and Turbo to 4.2 GHz, this is what we call a massively threading processor.

Seems the Windows scheduler scales things a bit more evenly than the Linux one. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. On Linux, the 2970WX performs much closer to the 2990WX than the 2950X, for what I assume to be a bottleneck in the InfinityFabric (where the 2970WX is less demanding, and therefore its cores are less bottlenecked).
