  • The performance of the 2990WX is interesting, at some points it's extremely impressive, and at other points, it's less impressive. That is basically because of the way the dies are connected, which results in long pathways to certain cores/dies. In applic...

  • Loads of connectivity including Wi-Fi, Well built, Useful diagnostic OLED screen, Free VRM fan kit for new buyers
  • Cramped layout, Expensive,
  • Who really needs 32 cores? The answer is fairly limited, but the perspective that AMD offers is that the new Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX is quite a bit less expensive than Intel's current (though dated) flagship, the 18-core Core i9-7980XE, and handily outp...
