taxes only a single CPU core
Not here-this is some heavier metal
Game mode doesn't set SMT off
spacing them out will reduce the heat density
quad-core or expensive high-end desktop CPU
slight base clock bump to 3
the CPU packaging can be removed
impact most content creation applications
socket is not compatible with any other sockets
AMD loses to Intel when it comes to all-out gaming performance
GT is not compatible with the new TR4 socket
Light Redux remains a punishing title for modern computer hardware
Intel is far more expensive
performance margins are small
decompressing performance is around 95000 MIPS
Mode essentially shunts all memory access to one memory controller to lower latency

the CPUs no longer feature easily bendable pins
The memory configuration was a little stickier
Game Mode has the opposite effect on memory bandwidth
not the fastest
Intel is running higher frequency

AMD's 16-core Threadripper 1950X is no-brainer for serious content creators and uncompromising multi-taskers. It also handled our test game titles better than Intel's competing Core i9. Just know that compatible X399 motherboards are pricey, at least at launch. And cooling may be an issue if you plan on overclocking.
