The editors didn't like
Expensive
No support for NVMe RAID
Poor gaming performance at lower resolutions
Requires a very powerful CPU cooler
Neutral
Some games and software still don’t know what to do with all those cores
“It’s not without its problems
But to see AMD not only competing but winning in workstat
Single-thread not as good as Intel
Game Mode and Creator Mode confusion
Confusing settings
Low resolution gaming performance
More power hungry than Intel's rival
Switching profiles requires a full restart
” in the review are so depraved you can not even imagine
And lacking 1 star out of 10… For what? For not being available for free?
Oxymorons

I have to slightly disagree with the gaming analysis. Many times the reason RYZEN doesn't perf
Middling single-core performance
Expensive overall system price – £1
200 more than AMD-AMD option
NVIDIA GeForce graphics not validated for professional applications
Behind AMD option for video editing with Adobe applications

As already shared on Twitter, it's possible to get around a 36 second Linux kernel build. If you want to compare your own Linux system's performance to some other early numbers of this 1950X setup, it's very easy once installing the Phoronix Test Suite to...

Before we issue a verdict on the Ryzen Threadripper 1920X and Threadripper 1950X, it's time once more to condense our results using our famous value scatter plots. We take the geometric mean of all of our real-world test results and plot that figure agai...

Better performance than the equivalent Intel chip for the price, Fully featured platform across all chips, While liquid cooling is a must, Theadripper is easier to tame than Skylake-X, Huge improvements in production tasks over mainstream CPUs, Competitiv
Overclocking remains limited, Needs a suitably robust cooling setup and power supply, Lags behind Intel in overall IPC performance
Abstract: AMD's 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1950X ($999 on Amazon ) is an angry Godzilla stomping his way through downtown Tokyo. Those puny 8-core, 6-core, and 4-core CPUs? They're just tanks and army trucks to be punted across the city.Yes, it's that go...
Wildly extreme 32-thread performance, for the same price as Intel's new 20-thread Core X-Series CPU, Platform is overflowing with PCI Express lanes
CPU is large and will need a robust cooler, particularly when overclocking, Byzantine installation process compared to mainstream CPUs, Competing Intel chips are better at lightly threaded tasks
AMD's 16-core Threadripper 1950X is no-brainer for serious content creators and uncompromising multi-taskers. It also handled our test game titles better than Intel's competing Core i9. Just know that compatible X399 motherboards are pricey, at least at...
Well, that's a bunch of processor performance alright - pretty cool, huh? The word 'amazing' is the one word that keeps returning while I was testing this platform. First off, this - you will not need a 16 or 12 core processor for your gaming needs, I mea...
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...

Great Multi-Threaded Performance, Massive Amounts Of IO, High Memory Bandwidth, Modern Chipset Support, Unlocked And Tweakable, Disruptive Pricing
Relatively High Power Consumption, Trails Intel In Lightly-Threaded Apps, Still Pricey, Though Better Than Intel
AMD Ryzen Threadripper Processors -- Find Them At AmazonWhether it sells in big numbers or not (we think it will), Threadripper is going to be a disruptive product. For creative professionals that need massive amounts of compute performance, Threadripper...

In this review we've covered several important topics surrounding CPUs with large numbers of cores: power, frequency, and the need to feed the beast. Running a CPU is like the inverse of a diet – you need to put all the data in to get any data out. The mo...
Abstract: It is highly likely that you already know what AMD's Threadripper actually is in terms of specifications given all the recent coverage. Here is a quick chart that will give you the basics that you need to know. While we are not reviewing the Threadripper...
