We review the all-new Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors. The many-core beasts are paired with a TRX50 motherboard. We tested the Ryzen Threadripper 7980X with is 64-core based on Zen4 (that's 128-threads by the way). And then we also will place a focus on the Ryzen Threadripper 7970 with its 32-cores.

How Intel gonna compete with this? AMD is slowly taking HEDT, server, desktop market from them and they cant do nothing about it. AMDomination
I can't quote any sources, but I'd imagine a good portion, maybe even the majority, of the non-pro models also go for pro use. Although often it could be dual use between pro and hobby. Still, not all small businesses would invest top money, but still have need for a lot of power. Government and other such public institution work would be another place since they often have tight budgets but can't exactly deduct it from taxes, haha. The game performance is pretty decent indeed, especially when observing the 4k numbers.
It did a lot better in games than I expected. Shows how much schedulers have improved. Still a moronic CPU to buy if gaming if your interest. The 32 core model would be fine if you wanted to do a 4-player multiplayer gaming system though. Can't say I'm all that impressed with the power consumption. On Linux, seems the 7970X is quite competitive against Intel's 8480+ (56 cores). I haven't seen any tests yet of how these compare on Windows but I'm sure the Intel would do much better there.
i'm pretty sure most of the youtube content corps will be going this way shortly. this is an entire studio's worth of productivity and allows for more content available in a much shorter time. and Hollywood beckons
Actually quite impressed with power consumption it's like in the article said 8 watts per core. No wonder these are competitive tho they clock higher and have higher base clock. Like this is pure amazing in comparison. Still it's a space heater at 250watts I would get myself a 32 core part possibly.
about the server part -> i was looking for a server to suggest for one of my clients . There is not a single one available in Greece (most popular retail search engine) at the moment with AMD cpu. Xeon results - > 164 its not a matter of specs and benchmark results. Its all about the availability. if no one sells your product ,you do not exist. see the images below ,1923 e for a 4 core 4 threads cpu. This the real image of what is going on. Intel does not have to compete with Amd.
Yeah don't get me wrong, the power draw isn't bad, and I sometimes forget that Hilbert measures system-wide power and not just CPU power. I'm just used to seeing the Epyc power consumption, which is better since those chips (and their memory) don't have as high of clock speeds. Once you get to dozens of cores, every additional hundred Hz makes a noticeable difference.
Was a bit surprised by amd 3dmark physics tests, my 11700kf at 5.06ghz and tight 4400mhz ram gets ~14600points vs 7800x3d with ~13900 https://www.3dmark.com/spy/42322339
Insane... I wanted to see more CPU centric games like Civilization... or RTRT games since it appears to use more CPU or cores... Just a monster of a CPU...
Last time i checked greece is in EU. There is zero availability problems with threadrippers in EU. Just checked germany and poland
A niche within a niche. I have a feeling that even for a Hollywood-level graphics professional most of the cores will just sit idle for 90% of the time a TR computer is on. We need a revolution in core performance, not more of them.
