i read the review... honestly i am expecting a bit more bump from 3960x
i wonder if mobo optimization different that cause it ? 3960x using gigabyte vs 3970x using Asus one
3970x is great, but again the price is $2k
looking at those benchmark i more impressed with 3950x than before... its really good for its price

Well, at least Intel still has the lead in power consumption.

That's a substantial improvement from the previous Threadrippers. Very impressive. I was previously doubtful about the worthiness of an upgrade (since it requires a new board) but this has quelled any such doubts.
