AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X
Enough about gaming, as that clearly isn't the point of these 12-core and 16-core CPUs. Productivity is what matters here and for serious workloads Ryzen has already proven to be a beast. Threadripper takes things to a new level, though.

Reviewers Liked

  • Offers more performance, uses less power and runs cooler than the Core i9-7900X
  • While liquid cooling is a must, Theadripper is easier to tame than Skylake-X
  • Brings competition back to HEDT
  • Amazing multi-core performance
  • Plenty of PCIe lanes

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Middling single-core performance
  • Overclocking remains limited
  • Game mode and Creator mode confusion
  • Power draw is very high, albeit sometimes justifiable on a performance per Watt metric

The effect cryptocurrency mining has had on the PC gaming industry, specifically the now sky-high cost of graphics cards, is profound. However, someday mining algorithms may change enough such that GPUs aren't the only non-specialized compute engines...

AMD's Threadripper 1920X offers a great price point for a beefy 12 cores and 24 threads, and while you lose four cores compared to the high end Threadripper 1950X, it comes at a $200 savings. That's great news if you are seeking unrestrained connectivity, competitive performance in lightly threaded productivity applications, and superior performance per dollar in multi-threaded workloads.

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper processors are unequivocally fast computational powerhouses. For the first time in many, many years, AMD can justifiably claim to offer the highest performance consumer processor on the planet in the 16-core Ryzen Threadripper...

With Threadripper, AMD hasn't just added more cores compared to Intel, it's changed the entire direction of the HEDT market for the better. It has made breathtaking levels of performance more accessible than ever, and won the hearts and minds of the PC market's most vocal of communities.

The Threadripper 1920X is a slightly tougher CPU to recommend. It does offer more PCIe lanes than the Core i9 and certainly overclocked well, although this could simply be down to luck of the draw and early EFIs.

All in all, is Threadripper disruptive? Absolutely, and it brings back some much-needed competition in an area that has been bereft of it for far too long.

The AMD Threadripper CPUs have been a blast to work with for the last couple of weeks. I think we can surely say that the Threadripper is a high-end enthusiast CPU. One thing is for certain, and that is AMD is injecting excitement back into the CPU industry and holding Intel's lethargic feet to the fire. The Threadripper represents the pinnacle in the HEDT market.

And on that front, it delivers fully. The 1950X is a chart-topper in our Blender production workload, beating out the 7900X by a few minutes in total render time required. Similarly, the 1950X excels in Adobe Premiere rendering tasks and manages to match or barely outperform the 4.5GHz overclocked 7900X, with the 1920X not far behind.

AMD is back in the gameIt's safe to say that AMD has left the troubled days of Bulldozer behind it. Ryzen Threadripper is an admirable re-entry into the HEDT market, and it's looking like a very compelling option compared to Intel's Core X...

Right then, and that was our 2nd Threadripper review already. For the Threadripper 1920X as tested today you will need to pay 799 USD. So that's 200 bucks off compared to the 1950X model. Honestly, if you go for the X399 + Threadripper combo, you might...

Let's start – The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X and 1950X has just entered the market and these TR4 monsters retail at RM 3,899 and RM 4,799 respectively. THE END. Kthxbai.Oh you want to know more? Well no problem, I'll be more than delighted to...
