    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X: Say Hello To The Most Powerful Desktop Processor Ever

    Uploaded by

    Garrath
    The 3990X is AMD's new 64-core desktop processor, the most powerful ever. It contains 9 chiplets each with 8 cores for a total of 64 cores. The cores operate on AMD's Infinity Fabric architecture, allowing them to work together efficiently despite being spread across multiple chiplets. The 3990X's massive core count and high frequencies provide unprecedented parallel processing power, but software may struggle to take full advantage of its capabilities. At $6,499, it is an extremely expensive processor aimed at highly parallel workloads.
