Ryzen Threadripper 2 (2990WX and 2950X) Review: AMD Unleashes 32 Cores
The 2950X improves on first-gen Threadripper and is a strong all-around upgrade choice, though its platform is expensive.

Excellent multithreaded Linux performance, generally 7–10% faster than the prior Threadripper and often 30–50% faster than the i9-7900X.

A strong 16-core, 32-thread desktop CPU and good value for many users, though prior-generation Threadripper chips may cost less.
