Unprecedented 32-core configuration, Unlocked multiplier for overclocking, Reasonable price per core, Indium solder between heat spreader and dies, Solid multi-threaded performance in some apps
Poor scaling in some workloads, Expensive platform
Threadripper 2990WX barrels onto the high-end desktop scene with 32 cores and 64 threads, wowing enthusiasts accustomed to four- and eight-core processors. But the unique design has its caveats. You need to have specific workloads in mind able to exploit...
For the vast majority of people doing every day tasks, this CPU would be massive overkill. The latest generation Ryzen 7 or Intel i7 will provide more than enough performance for content creators and gamers alike, and even if you did decide to buy yoursel...
