The CPU core arms race is heating up in spectacular fashion recently. However, AMD was tired of mucking about with their 8-core 16-Thread Ryzen and went big with their Ryzen Threadripper CPUs. However, they recently launched the king of all their CPUs, the 2900WX. This massive CPU features a terrifying combination of 32-cores and 64-threads for some extremely high-end processor performance. What’s even more impressive is that it’s still in the standard TR4 form-factor, and runs with a max-boost clock of 4.2 GHz!
For gamers, this likely isn’t a sensible option, even with its gaming modes, we find that games still prefer their standard Ryzen CPUs such as the 2700X; which still have plenty of cores left over for game streaming and other back-end processing anyway. However, if you spend all day rendering in Handbrake, processing in Cubase, compiling a scene in Blender, etc. Well, then you simply cannot have too many cores. Time is money, and the 2990WX looks set to do one thing – smash those waiting times to pieces.
