CES 2020: AMD’s 64-core Threadripper 3990X Is Here

Jan. 8, 2020



The Threadripper 3990X is the world’s first HEDT processor to come with 64 cores, and even though this is, strictly speaking, a desktop processor that anyone can buy, it’s really aimed at creators who truly need 64-cores in their performance machines. The Threadripper 3990X is aimed towards digital creatives working in 3D animation, raytraced VFX, and 8K videos.

According to AMD, the Threadripper 3990X brings up to a51% performance boost as compared to the Threadripper 3970X, which is a huge jump for sure. Moreover, the company is claiming that the processor scores 25,399 points in Cinebench R20. Obviously, I’m more than excited about hopefully getting my hands on this processor to test it out, but these scores look more than promising.
