Wow, thank you Highwind! I wish I can afford to swap out my 1950x for the 2990WX. I have a 8086K, 1800X and 8750H CPU. I can't wait for this monster to arrive. |

If I blow £1600 on a processor and my wife finds out - not very long  So, you know what you have to do....don't let her find out!  You only live once. DO IT! But buy her something nice too. If she puts you in the dog house, the computer will heat it very well. laughing I think Blade and Bear should buy you one to keep you out of trouble.      |

I am thinking of swapping out my AMD EPYC 7401P build for a 2990WX build. Would appreciate anyone with a TR 2 build posting some crunching numbers and whether they are using Windows or Linux (I run Linux on my 3 crunchers right now).
I am not happy with my current output of my EPYC build. My i9 7980XE build blows it out of the water and my E5-2683 v3 build's PPD is about the same as the EPYC build. |

I can't see it being much better than a 2700x. Depending on the memory needs of the app, some cores could end up slower than 2700x w/o direct memory access.

fwiw, cpubenchmark.net has the TR 1950X at 22,180, the TR 2990WX at 20,930 and your Epyc 7401P at 18,546. my lowly R5 1600 gets a 12,271, but at $149.99 its performance per $ is very good, and it's not a power hog, so easy on the electric bill
