The editors liked
32 cores and 64 threads
In a multi-core league of its own
Drop-in upgrade over last-gen TR
Quad-channel memory
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
Technically better value than Intel
Highest performance we've seen yet
Capable modelling performance
Particularly with product design software
Lots of cores make light work of multi-threaded rendering jobs
Reasonable price for specification
Generous storage
Spacious
Well-designed chassis
Relatively low power consumpti
Fastest 3D rendering currently available in a single-socket workstation
High single-core clock speed provides good 3D modelling potential
Amazing value for the performance
Surprisingly reasonable power consumption for performance
Compatible with exist
The editors didn't like
Single-thread not as good as Intel
Very poor at gaming without Game Mode
Poor scaling in some workloads
Expensive platform
One power hungry beast
Not all applications are 32-core optimized
Cooling system can't get the best out of the 32-core CPU
Faster rendering available with more powerful cooling and Precision Boost Overdrive enabled
Adobe's Media Encoder clearly not optimised for this many cores

Designing a processor is often a finely tuned craft. To get performance, the architect needs to balance compute with throughput and at all times have sufficient data in place to feed the beast. If the beast is left idle, it sits there and consumes power...

Abstract: It's one of the greatest questions of our time: AMD or Intel? Today, that rivalry has entered a new stage of Cinebench taunting as AMD's 2000-series Threadripper processors, commonly known as Threadripper 2, come to market to compete against Intel's Skyla...

We're now better armed with more information in regards to how the 2990WX performs than we were a few days ago. That said, this additional information hasn't changed our perception much. Throwing more work at these CPUs just provided more mixed results, w...
Abstract: Stop, AMD. You had us at 32-core, 64-thread Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX consumer CPU.You didn't have to make it better by saying this weapon of thread destruction could be ours for $1,799 (available on Newegg Remove non-product link or Amazon )—just $76 mor...

Abstract: May 2016 marked the launch of what was then the highest core count consumer processor ever seen, the Intel Core i7-6950X. At 10 cores and 20 threads, the 6950X was easily the highest performing consumer CPU in multi-threaded tasks but came at a staggering...
AMD has knocked it out of the park with the 2990WX as a low cost and high performance workstation part. We would say that AMD is poised to take the "low end" workstation market, but there is not actually a "low end" market in workstations at the performan...
It's not going to be difficult summing this one up. Without question, AMD is offering an unbelievable chip with the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. I'm still surprised that it even exists, more than most, it seems. I just couldn't see AMD literally doubling th...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX 32-core, 64-thread processor is a trailblazer and gives consumers more cores than ever before. When you fire up an application that is properly coded to support this many threads the performance is unreal. This processor...

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX often proves to be the best-performing high-end desktop CPU on the planet, but its potential isn't fully realized yet. When this chip rips, it really rips. We've never seen the kind of speed the 2990WX delivers in Blender...
