Now Guru3D gonna be in the spotlight for new AMD Ryzen ™ Threadripper ™ 2990WX Leaked info

 

Good find

 

The most powerful desktop processor in the world.

 

It's only 53% faster?!!!!!!!. 18c vs 32c?!!

 

I think this is why after Intel's answer to 2990WX we will see new chipset x499 with 8ch memory.

 

What is really awesome is we are on Ryzen gen 1.5, imagine when its a 7th 8th or 9th gen part like Intels is. Intel will be loosing this battle top to bottom by the 4th zen gen.

 

Intel is not into losing, they have a big budget and things will change finally though its not just a one horse race and for the first time in decades I'm thinking of AMD for my cpu

 

Well 77.78% more cores for 52.90% more performance. Nothing interesting here really. It is negative scaling even if we are talking about different CPUs. TR 2990WX is much newer than i9 7980XE, I expected a 'lil better.

 

Intel Cores are more powefull and i do not think 32 cores can go high clock.

I also do not think AMD Cores won't equal intel core easily, and memories controller will always play a role.

I m very happy of those enhancements on both sides anyway, and to be honest my next rig will be AMD whatever intel pulls out, just because i have to do my part in giving a reward for the efforts

 

We can't count core only.
We do not know of chinebench limits, we do not know of OS limits under it.

Also there are more than one scaling, ryzen is generally with a lower clock and also consider EUR per performance too.

 

Cinebench is not a good tool to benchmark cores that high. I believe at somewhere around 20 cores the benchmark completes so fast that the scores become extremely inconsistent and scale negative.

 

cinebench is handy and that's about it.
if you use a proper metric (soon to be coming from HH no doubt) you will have your mind blown

and for the uninitiated, core speeds on all multi-core cpus will always be lower the more cores you have. it's called physics and the waste heat has to go somewhere, so lower clocks equal lower power and heat.
but, "threadrippers" are binned for high clocks as opposed to data center cpus which never want high clocks (24/7 operation).
and you will find that these clock pretty damn high...certainly higher than zen (gen 1.0) and the original threadripper.

 

abit ....... defying intel xeon.......:

 

Maybe I’m wrong about this, or maybe I’m not seeing the bigger picture here.
About a week ago Der8auer made a video where he basically tried to overclock the 32 core Epyc cpu and he pulle off a 6099 Cinebench score at only 3.8Ghz. As far as I know the new 2990WX will be boosting all the way to 4.2Ghz. How on earth is this CPU a whole 1000 points behind the older Epyc CPU?
Like I say, maybe I’m missing something...

 

Der8auer got around 5370 on 3.5Ghz all cores, and 6000+ with 4.05Ghz, 2990WX boosts to 3.4Ghz all core so it's close to Der8auer's score.
And remember that was with 8Ch memory, I am sure that 2990WX with 8CH memory@3200Mhz could got much higher then 5099 points, so lets hope that AMD prepering X499 chipset after Intel's respond.
I am sure about it only because AMD chose not to Rebrand the current X399 as X499 for the upcoming refreshes X399 motherboards.

 

AMD allcore boost is not as aggressive as Intels, dont expect allcore higher then base clock 3Ghz or maybe +200-400Mhz, the 4.2Ghz is single/dualcore boost.

 

TDP is also 51.5% higher so it's not far off the mark. Clock speeds will be lower with more cores so it won't scale perfectly.

 

we dont know the exactly how amd is doing its boosting. these boosts are not all core. it has to stay within 250 watt power envelope, so it will downclock to stay within that envelope if doing a huge all core load. wait and see until proper testing is done, because you dont have all the facts. i dont doubt that you could increase clocks while reducing voltage manually to stay close to 250W envelope while increasing all-core performance, though single core will suffer. need to have a way to modify boosting algorithm. there was rumors of new user modifyable boosting algorythm some months ago but it never came into existance. it would be amazing if this became available, then you could do bigger all core boosts while having very high single core boost

 

That makes sense.

 

It would be nice to see if it holds the 250Watt TDP, because the 7980XE is around 200Watt running stock.
