AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation Threadripper CPU appears on Geekbench

[WYP]

A 32-core CPU with staggering performance levels.

wow that is impressive indeed

Nice to see how well MCM tech has matured already thanks to AMD's pushes, 5-9 dies on a single package, almost every one a top end gaming CPU in itself, without caveats.

Jesus! 3.6GHz base?! that's a 20% increase in base clock speed over the 2990WX.

In lengthy and massively threaded tasks, that base clock is much more important than the single core boost. That's pretty insane.

To put this score into context, our Rzyen Threadripper 2990WX review lists a stock Geekbench single-threaded score of 4961 and a multi-threaded score of 31985. Yes, AMD's alleged 3rd Generation Threadripper processor delivers a Geekbench multi-threaded CPU score that's almost 3x as high as a 2nd Generation Threadripper processor with the same core count.

From that same review

Another odd set of results, where the two core heavy Threadrippers don't put out the kind of numbers that we would expect.

Also take into account Windows vs Linux results.

2990WX Linux 128GB, base clock 3.37GHz

2990WX Windows 64GB

Note that Base clock under Linux Geekbench 4 doesn't necessarily mean the same as the actual CPU specification base clock. 3x the performance is stretching things, by a lot. Also we don't know the RAM speed for SharksTooth and that can have quite an effect too.

250W TDP just doesn't do it for me man...

What's wrong with 250W? Less than an Intel 28 core or a mid end GPU from a few years ago, with that huge IHS 250W should be quite cool.
