If you're a serious creative type and the thought of a mere 40 threads isn't enough, then perhaps the insane core count of the Intel Xeon W9 CPUs will scratch your itch.

Intel Xeon w9 3495X and w9 3475X Review
What blows me away are the overclocking results but also that the 3990x with just PBO enabled on the Asus trx40-xe has done so well against the test of time that is kinda made the 5995wx a pass. Had a client skip the 5995wx and we were waiting since Nov/Dec for this w9-3495x to release. I have been a little stressed in knowing I would need to do some level of OC to beat their 3990x numbers. Der8auers early videos helped me bet on it but now this review and 8packs video help assure me I should be able to do it easily on water.
3990x numbers for those curious on an EK loop (2021.02)
CB15
Single core 196CB
Multi 12070cb
CB23
Multi single pass 77534cb
10min run 76290cb (85c, think 700w range of use if I recall, 81F ambient)
With that said, we waited for Sapphire rapids. I am pretty disappointed in stock numbers on this platform though. All this time, I would expect more from it. All of those people going with the big brands would better be served with TR Pro I think. Granted some AEC work will likely still benefit from Intel though.

Reminds me of the old days with i7-920's
