Developers better start improving software to support sexy amount of cores.

Great to see the power AMD has put in consumers hands at ridiculous prices. Unfortunately, until someone squeezes TR into ITX (never?) I'm happy with my 2700X. I actually don't need to overclock anymore.

\I want to see Doom Eternal, scaling on all 64 threads of the WX. Or, you could do what Linus did with his 8 gamers on one rig. Give 8 VM's with their own dedicated GPU, and hard drive and memory 8 threads.

Btw the AMD TR 1920X is €408.90 on amazon! 😱 There's also a used X399 Prime-A for €208. €616 for 12C/24T combo! I need to go offline before I do something impulsive I might regret. *disables ethernet

Any testing done with the CoolerMaster sourced Wraith Ripper?

Nice work AMD... Too bad I only care for gaming performance. 😉

Works quite well, but it's rather light and bright and blocks the main x16 slot on the ASUS board. I might do a quick article on it separately. Honestly, these CPUs deserve at least LCS though.

On page 7. Why is the tRC 73 rather than 48 as shown in the XMP profile ? @Hilbert Hagedoorn

Seems like the 2950X will be the better CPU for gaming.

For the 2990WX, I'm impressed that the single-threaded and memory benchmarks didn't suffer much considering the CCX configuration. Seems the InfinityFabric is much more efficient than I gave it credit for. As far as I'm concerned, if you could get past 3200MHz for the RAM, you'd see a pretty hefty performance increase, but I'm aware TRs don't tend to like going higher than that. Also those overclock wattage numbers... holy crap, this is a CPU I would opt to keep at stock speeds, especially considering you don't really get much of a boost out of it...

Ripping in pieces every other processor before it, professional, consumer or anything else. The most powerful CPU ever made. (so far)

Thanks for the great review. Just for Fun- Look at Tom's review for load power consumption of 2990WX VS i9 7980XE - its 250W vs 282W!!! LOL. Intel just overclocking their CPU's, OMG dont want to think about their "upcoming" 28 core 🙂.

Maybe not unanimously - the 32-core Epycs would probably win in some benchmarks, particularly related to memory (they have 8 memory channels). Won't be long until the 64-core Epycs come along. It's a little difficult to wrap your head around a single x86 CPU with 128 threads, especially when you consider there are quad-socket motherboards out there that should support them.
