That's the actual name? Wtf
 
I don't have a need for this many cores but I'd love to build a system with one of these just to play around with. Maybe pair it with an RTX Pro 6000 and 1TB RAM. :messenger_smiling_hearts:

These are not so much for gaming, though they are good enough at it, but rather to make games and other content.
With so many cores, PCIe lanes and memory capacity, they are great machines for work.
 
Plenty of small companies and self employed workers will buy them.
These are for workstations, it's not for servers or AI farms.
Small companies and freelancers build their own servers instead of ordering compute power in one of the five trillion services that offer that? I work with companies that have their own servers but are by no measure small (at least by the Spain's standards for that denomination).

Yes, some companies might make some small servers out of Threadripper CPUs. But enterprises will mostly use the AMD Epic CPUs.
Threadripper is mostly directed for workstations.
 

Still cant beat an RTX5050..........GARBO TIER!!!!!!!!!

Just joking, cuz honestly i have no perspective of what a CPU like this would actually be achieving......kinda like trying to visualize the distance to the moon.
Not my workflows.


Sorry I have nothing else to add.
 
I think I'm severely cpu bound right now. My 3090 is paired with an i9-11900KF. I don't see the point in upgrading the video card yet, but I wish I could upgrade the CPU affordably. Problem is, I got my video card during the 2022 drought buying a scratch and dent alienware.

So I'd have to get a new motherboard, a new case, and a new cpu. Not sure if its worth it or I should wait another year and just get an entirely new system when the 6090 or whatevers come out...
 
I didn't feel any particular urge to change/upgrade my PC yet, at this particular point in time, but admittedly my current CPU being the BOTTOM LINE of the benchmark graph is kinda humiliating.

If your intention is to render projects in Blender in your CPU, then the 5800X3D is very outclassed.
But for gaming, it's still very good. It can still ride with the pack. Only the newer X3D parts have some distance to it.
For example:

this is a benchmark for a highly multithreaded productivity usecase,
in gaming this graph would be completely different as there the single core performance is much more important, and most of the high core-count CPUs will struggle in those cases.

lower core count usually means higher clock speeds, means better single core performance.
the 5800X3D would absolutely destroy the Threadripper in basically any game.

There's a lot of soyface in your post
 
It is powerful enough to solve PSO stutter?
I think in gameplay PSO stutter is more single threaded but I have no idea. The difference between a 9800X3D and a 9950X3D can't be all that big despite the latter having twice as many cores but I hope I'm wrong, much easier to add cores than single threaded performance.
 
Yeah, not made for video games but great at offline rendering and shit like that.

Someday games will be more efficient at threads, not today tho.
 
Youd already be at a lower frame rate, so the PSO stutter would feel worse as the frametime dif would be larger.

But with more threads available, the time to compile a missed shader would be half of what a 9800X3D or 285K would do.
This graph is for the full shader pre compilation of one game. But during run*time the effect w0ould be the same.
So a stutter would last half the time on a Threadripper, than on a normal Ryzen or Core CPU.

What a monster. This can launch a nuke or guide a stealth bombers. 🤣 But will PCMR in gaf buy this one or even capable to build a pc rig with this monster?
 
Epyc, but your point stands. They're great for servers. These are for workstations, where having massive parallelism (not suitable for GPGPU) is a benefit.
Threadripper will also make for a great AI workstation. Throw in couple 5090s or the new 6000 series cards and you got some serious local power.
 
I used to think more CPU cores was a great thing and had hoped that games would leverage more cores, but if you do mostly gaming, getting anything more than 8-cores is so damn pointless.
