Armari AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX – 32-Core Threadripper 2
|
 AMD may not have quite managed to rout Intel with its Ryzen 7 and Threadripper in the same way it managed to a decade or so ago with the Athlon FX and Opteron. But it’s certainly keeping Intel on its toes. We’ve seen some great new CPUs from Intel to head AMD off at the pass, and the orignal Threadripper really gave Intel’s Core i9 something to think about when we put the two head to head last year. Although the 18-core Core i9 7980XE just about returned the performance crown to Intel, it didn’t win on price. But the latest round could be more of a killer blow. Alongside an updated successor to the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X called the 2950X, which is very similar but with higher clock speeds, is a much more interesting proposition for workstation users – the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX. With a whopping 32 cores running at up to 4.2GHz, this processor has something to
offer every type of workstation user.

Fnatic STREAK Review
|
|
The Fnatic STREAK shares a lot of its core components with its smaller sibling the miniSTREAK. These include the same selection of switches available of which there are four flavours. Our sample comes with the Cherry MX Red Silent, but the STREAK can be purchased with either the MX Blue, Brown or Red, each of which has their own character traits.

Corsair K70 MK.2 RGB Mechanical Keyboard Review
|
|
What is the main reason to spend money on a “gaming” mechanical keyboard vs a regular keyboard? With membrane based gaming keyboards, your purchase depends mainly on features that you can only utilize during gameplay. But with a gaming mechanical keyboard, your priorities in performance to value are more broad. You’re looking for a long life keyswitch that offers tactile feel and a comfortable typing experience as well. This is what we should all look for in a gaming mechanical keyboard, does the K70 MK.2 live up to these expectations? We’ll find out in this article for Benchmark Reviews.

AMD Threadripper 2990WX Linux Benchmarks: The 32-Core / 64-Thread Beast
|
|
Whether you are compiling a lot of code, rendering models with
Blender, or running various scientific workloads with OpenMP or MPI, the
AMD Threadripper 2990WX is capable of delivering immersive Linux
performance with its 32-cores and 64 total threads. While coming in at
$1800 USD, the AMD Threadripper 2990WX can deliver better performance
than the more expensive Intel Core i9 7980XE. Beyond being mesmerized
about the performance today with this high-end desktop/workstation
processor with the many thread-happy Linux workloads we encounter daily,
this 32-core Zen+ processor has us even more eager to see AMD's
next-generation Zen2-based EPYC CPUs next year."

AMD Threadripper 2990WX Cooling Performance - Testing Five
|
|
"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 require water
cooling but actually can work quite well with high-end air heatsinks
too. For adding some perspective on the cooling requirements of the
Threadripper 2990WX, here are benchmarks of five heatsinks and two
all-in-one water cooling systems."
