How Intel gonna compete with this? AMD is slowly taking HEDT, server, desktop market from them and they cant do nothing about it. AMDomination 😀

I can't quote any sources, but I'd imagine a good portion, maybe even the majority, of the non-pro models also go for pro use. Although often it could be dual use between pro and hobby. Still, not all small businesses would invest top money, but still have need for a lot of power. Government and other such public institution work would be another place since they often have tight budgets but can't exactly deduct it from taxes, haha. The game performance is pretty decent indeed, especially when observing the 4k numbers.

It did a lot better in games than I expected. Shows how much schedulers have improved. Still a moronic CPU to buy if gaming if your interest. The 32 core model would be fine if you wanted to do a 4-player multiplayer gaming system though. Can't say I'm all that impressed with the power consumption. On Linux, seems the 7970X is quite competitive against Intel's 8480+ (56 cores). I haven't seen any tests yet of how these compare on Windows but I'm sure the Intel would do much better there.

Damn, this thing is a beast for productivity.

Excellent review as always Hilbert. Amazing and so efficient , Intel is done 😀 ...

that's pretty crazy performance given the amount of CCDs it has

i'm pretty sure most of the youtube content corps will be going this way shortly. this is an entire studio's worth of productivity and allows for more content available in a much shorter time. and Hollywood beckons

It must have been a bit like a early Christmas unpacking this big box.

Actually quite impressed with power consumption it's like in the article said 8 watts per core. No wonder these are competitive tho they clock higher and have higher base clock.

Like this is pure amazing in comparison. Still it's a space heater 😀 at 250watts I would get myself a 32 core part possibly.

about the server part -> i was looking for a server to suggest for one of my clients . There is not a single one available in Greece (most popular retail search engine) at the moment with AMD cpu. Xeon results - > 164 its not a matter of specs and benchmark results. Its all about the availability. if no one sells your product ,you do not exist. see the images below ,1923 e for a 4 core 4 threads cpu. This the real image of what is going on. Intel does not have to compete with Amd.

Yeah don't get me wrong, the power draw isn't bad, and I sometimes forget that Hilbert measures system-wide power and not just CPU power. I'm just used to seeing the Epyc power consumption, which is better since those chips (and their memory) don't have as high of clock speeds. Once you get to dozens of cores, every additional hundred Hz makes a noticeable difference.

Insane... I wanted to see more CPU centric games like Civilization... or RTRT games since it appears to use more CPU or cores... Just a monster of a CPU...

Last time i checked greece is in EU. There is zero availability problems with threadrippers in EU. Just checked germany and poland

Ah yes compared to epyc yeah. True that. Will be interesting to see next AMD processors at 3nm

A niche within a niche. I have a feeling that even for a Hollywood-level graphics professional most of the cores will just sit idle for 90% of the time a TR computer is on. We need a revolution in core performance, not more of them.
