The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X isn't the silicon messiah for all the hype its announcement and launch produced, but that's fine. AMD has produced a very competitive product to go up against Intel's long unopposed Extreme Edition processors.Although the...
The Threadripper 1950X is a seriously fast processor for people who need to do serious work on their PC. Yes, you can buy one and use it in your home PC for gaming, but it's not the best choice if that's all you're going to do. Its Intel rival – the Core...

The last 6 months has been a clear warning to manufacturers that being complacent can be rather unwise. AMD has really ignited the desktop CPU market with the release of their Ryzen CPUs and it really goes without saying that for all those involved, never...
If you need Threadripper, you'll know it. Heavy multitaskers, streamers, those who regularly use heavily threaded applications or have heavy PCIe requirements will all experience competitive performance. The recommendation comes with a caveat, though; if...
Amazing multi-core performance, Plenty of PCIe lanes, Fast memory support, Very competitive pricing, Strong multi-tasking capabilities

Yes. For those who need this sort of a horsepower to render videos and 3D scenes, work with raytraced lighting, or handle major encoding tasks without having to hand over their entire system, the choice is clear. The high-end Threadripper chips offer bett...

AMD has used the word disruptive to describe the new Zen CPU architecture that powers Ryzen desktop CPUs, Epyc server processors and now, in August 2017, a trio of Threadripper chips designed to rip up the existing high-end desktop rule book.Threadrip...
Abstract: It's easy to assume, given Intel's dominance over the last few years, that its products filled pretty much every niche and price point you would need whether you're a gamer or content creator. However, even before AMD's return to form earlier this year, e...

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...

Abstract: AMD is taking the wraps off its second-generation Ryzen Threadripper CPU lineup this morning, and the company is upping the ante in the war for multithreaded superiority on the high-end desktop. Two new chips for workstation and content creation use—the T...
Whoa… we've finally arrived. Allow me to reiterate a couple of things said at the outset. First, this is not meant to be an in-depth article, despite the number of benchmarks run. All of these results help paint an overall picture of performance on AMD's...
