It's not going to be difficult summing this one up. Without question, AMD is offering an unbelievable chip with the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. I'm still surprised that it even exists, more than most, it seems. I just couldn't see AMD literally doubling th...

AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX often proves to be the best-performing high-end desktop CPU on the planet, but its potential isn't fully realized yet. When this chip rips, it really rips. We've never seen the kind of speed the 2990WX delivers in Blender...

Abstract: The 32-core / 64-thread AMD Threadripper 2990WX carries a 250 Watt TDP rating, thus the cooling performance is quite important especially if you don't want to hit any thermal throttling with this $1799 USD processor. Fortunately, the 2990WX doesn't requir...
