Picking the right CPU can be a daunting task for many, as it can dictate so much about how your PC performs. Picking a fast GPU is easy enough, picking fast ram, storage, and other components, not too hard either. For most consumers buying AMD, a Ryzen series CPU is more than enough for work and gaming. However, the Threadripper range is better suited to content creators. If you make games, render a lot of videos, do a lot of VFX rendering, transcoding, editing, and other computational workloads, they’re perfect for the job.
The new 2970WX features a whopping 24-cores and 48 threads. That’s obviously not as many as the flagship 32-core 64-thread CPU they offer. However, it’s still a boatload more than the 8-cores of a flagship Ryzen CPU, and the price obviously reflects the core count too. So just much performance do we get from this mid-high-end Threadripper? Let’s find out!
