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...

Technically better value than Intel, Highest performance we've seen yet
One power hungry beast, Not all applications are 32-core optimized
The Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX brings the biggest specs on a consumer CPU yet and it has the performance to back it up. Of course, it isn't necessarily for everyone. At $1,799 (£1,639, AU$2,679), it's a steep price to pay for a single chip, and even those...
32 cores and 64 threads, In a multi-core league of its own, Drop-in upgrade over last-gen TR, Quad-channel memory
Single-thread not as good as Intel, Very poor at gaming without Game Mode
First-generation Threadripper, built on the solid foundation of the Zen architecture, moved AMD's consumer CPU performance into a league that it hadn't occupied for a very long time.The original review opined that 'Threadripper shines most brightly in...
Threadripper 2990WX:To start with then, let's talk about the 2990WX. There are clearly some concerning areas in our benchmark results, but it's important to realise what kind of CPU we're dealing with here, as plenty of us have likely got caught up on the...
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
Poor scaling in some workloads, Expensive platform
Threadripper 2990WX barrels onto the high-end desktop scene with 32 cores and 64 threads, wowing enthusiasts accustomed to four- and eight-core processors. But the unique design has its caveats. You need to have specific workloads in mind able to exploit...
For the vast majority of people doing every day tasks, this CPU would be massive overkill. The latest generation Ryzen 7 or Intel i7 will provide more than enough performance for content creators and gamers alike, and even if you did decide to buy yoursel...

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...
