AMD Ryzer Threadripper 3990X

So AMD's 32 core Thread Ripper 3950x already beats the Intel's top-end Core i9 on products so the first question we had to ask ourselves here given that they have no competition in this segment already why is AMD even bothering to launch this product. It's overkill in pretty much every possible way, 64 core 128 threads 288 megabytes of cash and official support for up to 32 hundred megahertz memory with single rank 8-gigabyte sticks even that doesn't carry over all the higher capacities.


 The craziest thing about it is that the normal rule where high core count CPU's have poor performance in lightly threaded applications just doesn't seem to apply here we've got a 4% drop in our single thread cinebench score compared to our Ryzen 9 939 50x that's AMD's highest boosting desktop chip so form a business perspective one of the obvious concerns, when you go all out on a desktop processer, is that even though this thing is still pricey at 4,000 US dollers this is essentaially the exat ame silecon as their 64 core epic server processor only you get 88 insted od 128 PCI express gen 4 lanes and four of the eight memory channels are disabled so thats thousands of dollars less for waht is essentially still 64 cores so there is risk against yourself by giving customers the option of getting most of the benefit of your professional grade product with a cheaper one, but my child the thing is epic is still going to be the best tool for certain is the only way to get for two Xen two CPU's on a single motherbord. The Ryzen 3990x got a massive 280-watt TDP that's 25% higher than 64 core epic 77 42 but it results in a nearly 30% higher base clock and a max boost as high as 4.3, gigahertz way higher than epic.
