64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X defeats all Intel processors in tests, including $ 20,000 Xeon
A few days before the start of sales in the SiSoftware , GeekBench and UserBenchmark databases , benchmarks for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-core processor appeared. Now you can verify with facts how far AMD has advanced in the technological race thanks to the introduction of the Zen 2 microarchitecture. In fact, it now has no competitors.For example, in a test of arithmetic operations, one 64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X processor showed a 19% better result than two 28-core Xeon Platinum 8280 processors , the total cost of which exceeds $ 20,000. A similar picture in other tests.All tests of Threadripper 3990X in the SiSoftware database were conducted under the Windows x64 operating system. Motherboards - ASUS PRIME TRX40-PRO, MSI MS-7C59 (MSI Creator TRX40 (MS-7C59)) and ASUS ROG ZENITH II EXTREME ALPHA. The earliest are dated February 1, 2020, the latest - today, and today in the morning 6 of all 22 available benchmarks are published. (click on image to enlarge)
In the test of arithmetic operations, the best result at a slightly higher clock frequency of 4.34 GHz was 1836.9 GOPS (giga-operations per second). For comparison, among Intel processors, the 28-core Xeon W-3175X (4.8 GHz) showed the best result, but it only has 1099.31 GOPS. A system of two 28-core Xeon Platinum 8280 with a total value of $ 20,000 in this test has the maximum result
1543.72 GOPS , that is, two such processors are 19% weaker than one Threadripper 3990X.Ryzen Threadripper 3990X operates at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz, turbo 4.3 GHz, 288 MB cache, of which 256 MB L3 cache.

28-core Xeon Platinum 8280 server processors were released in the second quarter of 2019. Manufactured using 14nm process technology, they represent the 2nd generation Intel Xeon family of scalable processors. The base clock frequency is 2.7 GHz, turbo 4.0 GHz, 38.5 MB cache, rated power 205 W, memory type DDR4-2933. On the official website indicated
"Customer recommended price" $ 10,009.00.
And this is far from the most expensive Xeon. Intel has not reduced prices for the Xeon Platinum 828x server processor family with 28 cores / 56 threads for a long time , although after the appearance of the 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper processors on the market, these prices have clearly become outdated.In November 2019, AMD released the first representatives of the 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper: Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X (24 and 32 cores, 7 nm, Zen 2). This was one of the main events of the year in the market of high-performance desktop PCs. The Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X tests showed a whole new level of performance in almost all applications.At the same time, Intel released the 18-core Core i9 10980XE, reducing the price by a thousand dollars compared to its predecessor. At that moment, the overall picture became clear: in the market of high-performance desktop processors, Intel and AMD switched places. Now AMD is releasing the fastest and most expensive processors. Intel can not compare with them in terms of performance, so it is forced to compete with the second tier of processors from AMD.This state of affairs only entrenched with the release of the 64-core Ryzen Threadripper 3990X - top-end AMD processor. This is the desktop version of the 64-core EPYC 7702P, which is already sold for servers ($ 4450). Only the Threadripper 3990X has fewer memory channels (only four) and no specific corporate functions, but a higher clock frequency and, as a result, increased power consumption.For the third generation Threadripper, TRX40 motherboards are suitable. The manufacturer recommends purchasing RAM at the rate of at least 1 GB DDR4 per core, and preferably 2 GB. As with previous chips, DDR4-3200 support is claimed, but the memory controller can be overclocked to a higher frequency.The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X is the world's first 64-core desktop processor. Sales begin on Friday, February 7, 2020. It is estimated that its cost will be $ 3990, but officially it will be announced on the day sales begin. There is a chance that 3990X will be put up and cheaper, analysts call figures in the range from $ 2999 to $ 3990.Whatever the cost of new items, but the prices for other desktop AMD processors fell sharplyin anticipation of this announcement. Here are the retail prices at the Micro Center U.S. computer store for today:Note. Stocks cannot be ordered online, sold only at offline retail outlets and no more than one processor per hand.
