CPU Tests II

This page is where Threadripper shines brightest, tested with applications that do take advantage of its core-and-thread advantage over Intel.

In such scenarios, the £1,200 2970WX's performance is better than the £2,000 Core i9-7980XE.

Switching gears to a more reasonable price point brings the 2920X into focus. Again, it is better than any mainstream chip Intel has to offer, and you need to spend a fair bit more wedge with the blue team in order to surpass its many-core speed.
