AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X Review

[Ian]

We've got a roundup AMD Ryzen Threadripper reviews, an absolute beast of a CPU with 12 or 16 cores, depending on the model. Don't take a look at the price if you're feeling squeamish...

I doubt many people will want to spent £1000 on a CPU, but it does give an insight as to what we can expect further down the line in more competitively priced consumer CPUs.

If nothing else, Threadripper looks great.

Apart from a couple of games you have a Kaby-Lake at $329 and a Ryzen 7 at $499 with almost similar and sometimes better results than a Threadripper. Admittedly the newer games do give Threadripper a lead.
Looks like an interesting cpu though. Power use is high as with almost all AMD offerings which is one reason I jumped ship and went for Intel.

Although I've said this before, the best thing about it is that it brings the CPU war back - lots of competing on price and performance, rather than a walk in the park for Intel .

Yup the only useful war is a Price War
