AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X Offers Incredible Linux Performance

Meanwhile at Intel HQ...

Bwhahahaha

Bloody hell... It's quite rare to see new hardware that actually has performance that can be described as a "mindboggling" compared to what came just before it.

If this CPU had a theme song, I'd probably be something like Back to Shalla-Bal by Joe Satriani.

You get a like for mentioning Joe Satriani

On-topic: This CPU is really a freaking beast!

Would like to see an htop screen.

It's quite anticlimactic - systems with 128 execution units existed before. e.g. https://paste.opensuse.org/30574720 (image)

Come on AMD, at this point your just being mean.

Yeah, servers have. Not consumer-grade systems...

Well, I certainly could make sue of these ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCCIbmsx_RQ

The Threadripper 3990X was able to build the Linux 5.4 kernel in just 22 seconds!

WTF. Michael, can you post a 25 second gif/video clip of this? Tag it nsfw, please.

Possible typo under Coremark results ?

The Threadripper 3990X hit 70% the speed of the 3970X with Coremark or 3.73x faster than the Core i9 10980XE.

If I'm parsing correctly I think the text is saying that 3990X is slower than 3970X, while results show 3990X is faster.

One thing is for sure... the XKCD "Compiling" comic has been overtaken by events:

"Fortunately" you can still take hours to compile Chromium
