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:

Those are some good numbers and impressive results. Not that I'd ever have a need for a CPU like this. Intel basically got totally played out of the HEDT field, which is quite incredible seeing how a few years ago AMD was utterly absent from that segment. Intel made billions by sitting on their hands while they could, but it's costing them a lot of face now. A couple of years from now things might get interesting again competition wise.

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.

Old TR wasn't really high end gaming's CPU, wasn't really workstation's CPU and were in concurrence with Epyc on some application...
This time the TR is really high end CPU and not only a big Ryzen... With this gen it have found it's place, this is good

That's... yes. Lots of horsepower, and lots of power consumption! You'll need a private reactor just to fuel the thing!
