AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX review
A powerful 32-core HEDT CPU with exceptional multi-threaded performance, but expensive, power-hungry, and not suited to most users or gaming.

Excellent for professional content creation and virtualization, but less versatile than the 2950X; gaming is not its strength.
