Awesome CPU
I've been an happy owner and user since May 2020, I should point out that I'm not only gaming with my product I also use it for CAD, Simulations, Development and other heavy workloads like Ray Traced rendering, the Threadripper 3990X helps me throughout these workflows and loads by not being held back by a lower core/thread count, thus I can render stuff more easily and faster than ever before.
If you need this kind of processing power, just get it, it's a strong piece of technology that really does what we ask it to do.
Albeit being held back by quad channel DDR4/DDR4-ECC, the CPU is more than capable when paired with the right amount of RAM.
This is exactly what I anticipated and wanted for the product to be on most points, so, hats off AMD and thanks Digitec for selling it, you outdid yourselves on this, my current system and I thank you !Pro
- 64-cores / 128-threads perfect for heavy workloads
- boosts to almost 4GHz, good when not doing heavy workloads thus gaming
- supports ECC RAM
Contra
- 4 memory channels
- Needs a Good cooling solution
Held back by 4 memory channels, really need 8 channels for this CPU to shine
Memory bound jobs will be held back to their true performance potential on this CPU because of 4 channel. The EPYC equivalent of this CPU i.e. 7742 will perform upto 2x of this bad boy because it supports 8 memory channels. Only jobs where the work fits on the L3 cache can make full use of all 64 cores.
Pro
- 64 cores of Ryzen goodness
- Power efficient chiplets
Contra
- 4x memory channels
AMD Threadripper rocks the threads away just like that :)
Pro
- Multi thread performance without end
Contra
- Officially "only" 256 GB RAM support
A MONSTER
Nothing to say. It's just a monster
Pro
- 64 core / 128 Thread
- a Beast
- 88 PCIe 4 lane
- Quad channel / ECC
Contra
- Power consumption
- Heat
