    Phoronix: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X Linux Performance After Three Years

    Today marks three years since AMD introduced the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, the first HEDT chip sporting 64 cores / 128 threads. While based on Zen 2, the shear multi-threaded compute power of the Threadripper 3990X still bodes well today. Besides 64 cores / 128 threads still being a lot, Linux software improvements over the past three years have helped maintain the competitiveness of the Threadripper 3990X. In today's benchmarks are results from the System76 Thelio Major as tested back in 2020 based on Pop!_OS / Ubuntu 22.04 LTS compared to the very latest state today when running an Ubuntu 23.04 snapshot on the same system and using a Linux 6.2 Git kernel.

    Strange how video encoding seems to be degraded over all codecs but basically everywhere else improvements.

      Could Mister Larabel at least put away his box of you-know-what tissues conveniently situated next to the computer before taking photos of it? Some of us don't want to imagine how they're being used while reading the article. Gross!

        Yeah, totally gross wiping up all that thermal paste. Puhlease.

          there is also thermal paste​ it looks like the tissues is to remove unwanted thermal paste​...

              Separate from my above comment: Might want to wear gloves though if you use thermal paste and come into direct contact frequently. While paste is not very toxic, it's not non-toxic, and contaminants happen - especially if it's made in China. Toxic heavy metal contamination of products from China is common.

                  Perhaps he's just jealous of Michael's hot girlfriend/wife?

                  On-topic: it is amazing how much more performance can be squeezed out of an older platform. It means that launch benchmarks are not the end of all. I'm curious how Zen4 will improve on Linux platform the coming years...

                    Great to see so much optimization after all these years, but I agree it's strange to see the video stuff getting so much worse.
