As AMD opens up a can of performance that is just baffling, we have two more reviews to offer to you today. These are crazy times in the desktop processor landscape. CPUs with 24 to even 32 processor cores are slowly becoming the norm. AMD just released their 3rd generation of Threadripper processors, based on ZEN2 cores the performance is just staggering in each and every way you look at it:

I know one of the reason why this is so powerful in workloads
check out the insane memory/cache speed difference between my 9900k on an asrock taichi ultimate and this monster

EDIT: apparently AMD has that advantage since previous threadripper and Ryzen 3000 I just never checked those numbers until recently, still this gen is even faster crazy

I hope you won't mind me direct linking your review screenshot on these forums Hilbert it made for an easier comparison
Please excuse my "spam" it's like I get my 1st car all over again

HOT DAMN.
Unreal performance, simply unreal.

We're entering a new era of computing, everything else before these CPUs are made completely obsolete.

Some great numbers there, impressive.

The Intel 10980 is a lot cheaper but then again it is caught by the 3950X which is even cheaper still. The Intel part overclocks well but then the power shoots up. AMD pincer movement !

I think these results today also show how good the 3950X chip really is, especially at that price.
