Review: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X
How does a 12 core processor with 24 threads sound at a price of 649 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 2920X with a base clock of 3.5 GHz and Turbo to 4.3 GHz, this is a seriously threading processor.

another great review on a fantastic product.
the 2920x is a winner @ $650. especially as it runs cooler than the 9900k and doubles up the thread count.
this price point used to be a killer one for Intel's Haswell HEDT's... which imho, were the last Intel HEDT's worth buying (i had one for both variations of X99).
i made the change to the 1950x, was blown away and then got the 2950x on a smaller form factor.
after Intel gimped the Xeon compatibility i had zero interest, especially as it ruined the budget multi-core workstation in their line up.
tellingly, AMD kept ecc compatibility.

Yes, I was really impressed how cool can 2950x run even with Noctua air cooler @ low RPM, was expecting that cooler get hot rather quickly but instead it got just warm. But still cant wait for water block delivery as its nearly incompatible with waterblocks on GPU, being in way for fittings outlet. Had to use 3rd PCIe slot to barely fit it in.

I realize you're writing for enthusiasts, are turning out a huge amount of quality technical material, and in a second language (!). But often you go a little too fast. For example:
Your "however" is misplaced and confusing because the second phrase doesn't mitigate the first; if anything it supports it. But you don't note that the second point relates only to the 1080p results - those at higher resolutions are clearly GPU limited.
In all, a broken sentence that brings the reader to a halt. Those who already know what you're trying to say will ignore it, and those who don't will be mystified.
I point this out not to criticize, but to help you stay at the high standards you typically achieve.

That's nitpicking, I understood it fine. Occasionally there are typos or 'hiccups' in some articles here (& elsewhere on other sites), but this is not one of them - grammatical nitpicking is not worth it, and even if I was gonna grammatically nitpick, that sentence is fine. (Don't respond to me saying I'm grammatically wrong, I know what your view point is, and this is not a forum for talking grammar).
On topic of the Threadripper reviews: awesome CPUs for production tasks, but not for gaming, passable for gaming, but only as an aside, better choices for gaming CPUs. Impressive stuff from AMD, but do people really need these CPUs, I reckon it's a small market.

Good to see more CPU for production.
