The editors didn't like
Full application support needed
Benefits a narrow cross-section of workloads
Many applications in Windows do not support more than 64 threads
Memory bandwidth reduction versus 3960X and 3970X can slightly harm performance
An all-rounder it is not, but the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is not as dire outside of those all core-hammering multi-threaded workloads as AMD's previous desktop flagship, meaning you can sneak into an FPS during lunch hour between those hefty rendering se...

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X stands as a shining testament to how far the company has come in the HEDT computing space. For many years relegated to playing minion to Intel's Core powerhouses, the latest slew of 'rippers turn the tables in blockbuster...

I think it is fair to say that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X delivers just as we expected, and that's a good thing.In applications that can leverage 128 threads, the performance uplifts versus alternative options are superb. Cinebench, Blender, Corona...
The 64-core 128-thread Threadripper 3990X is a highly-specialized processor that provides incredible performance in a narrow cross-section of workloads, but at a very attractive price point given its capabilities...

Abstract: Today marks three years since AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, the first HEDT chip sporting 64 cores / 128 threads. While based on Zen 2, the shear multi-threaded compute power of the Threadripper 3990X still bodes well today. Besides 64 cores...

Abstract: Next month marks two years since AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-core / 128-thread processor. All of our testing of the 3990X on Linux over the past two years has been with the System76 Thelio Major, which continues holding up well with th...

Now that was a lot of fun, and quite eye-opening.Let's start by repeating something we've said a lot throughout this review, namely that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is not for everyone. If you use your computer for a whole range of tasks, then you'll...

Abstract: After reviewing the Threadripper 3990X, it was made clear the 64-core/128-thread beast from AMD lays waste to every HEDT part we have ever tested. It's an insane productivity CPU, that we pushed to extremes to torture a few motherboards just this week. Th...

Abstract: As has been known for a while now, AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors really show their true potential on Linux with often significant increases to the performance thanks to the kernel's better scalability compared to Microsoft Windows. While Microsoft has...

Monstrous MultiThreaded Performance, More Predicable Perf Than 2nd Gen CPUs, SingleThread Improvements Over 2nd Gen, PCI Express 4.0 Support, Stock Power Not Much Higher Than 3970X
Ultra Premium Pricing, Skyrocketing Power When Overclocking, Requires New Motherboards / Chipset
Although it was somewhat of a foregone conclusion that AMD would launch a monstrous 64-core / 128-thread 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper processor ever since the initial line-up was announced a few months back, the company made it official at CES 2020 l...
