AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX
The Threadripper 2990WX certainly is an unusual beast. In short, AMD has made a 32 core CPU that appears quite good for rendering. And that was about as much as we can prove from our standard test suite. The memory limitations do seem to make the 2990WX a very focused product and we're not sure how many users are going to find it useful for powering their workstation, given the inconsistent results.

Performance Benchmarks
All benchmark data reflects aggregated results from dozens of tests conducted in TechSpot’s labs and compiled from our full library of CPU reviews. Single-core productivity scores are based primarily on Cinebench and Adobe Photoshop workloads. Multi-core results draw from Cinebench, Blender, Corona Benchmark, 7-Zip, Adobe Premiere Pro, and shader compilation tests. CPU gaming benchmarks are all 1080p runs (explainer) as published on TechSpot.
We're now better armed with more information in regards to how the 2990WX performs than we were a few days ago. That said, this additional information hasn't changed our perception much. Throwing more work at these CPUs just provided more mixed results,...
