AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X

About processor

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor is an absolute juggernaut in the world of desktop CPUs. With a staggering 64 cores and 128 threads, this processor delivers unparalleled multi-threaded performance for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The TSMC 7nm FinFET technology ensures efficiency and power optimization, while the massive 256MB of L3 cache contributes to lightning-fast data access. In terms of real-world performance, the Threadripper 3990X excels in tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, scientific simulations, and other heavily multi-threaded workloads. Its Geekbench 6 Multi Core score of 14110 is a testament to its immense processing power, while the Single Core score of 1563 demonstrates its ability to handle single-threaded tasks with ease as well. With a TDP of 280W, the Threadripper 3990X is certainly a power-hungry beast, but its level of performance justifies the energy consumption. For professionals who demand the absolute best in CPU performance, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is a game-changer that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in the desktop computing space.
