AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX (16C/32T, 72 MB Cache, up to 4.3 GHz Max Boost)

Product Information

The main goal of this review is to test all of the Threadripper Pro 3000 hardware and compare against the equivalent Threadripper 3000 to get a sense of how much performance is gained by the increased memory bandwidth, or lost due to the slight core frequency differences. We are also including Intel’s best HEDT/workstation processor for comparison, the W-3175X, as well as the top consumer-grade processors on the market. All systems are tested at JEDEC specifications.

Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX - GEARVN CPU AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX - GEARVN

AMD introduces a new brand named Ryzen in the world of technologies. Ryzen Threadripper is the CPU processor that makes work easy and fast for its user. These CPU processors are specifically designed for workstations, media, servers, and desktops. The single and multiple threads in these threadrippers take the load of work and help all professionals multitask their work more efficiently. Meanwhile, the Core i9-10980XE, also in the Cascade Lake generation, trades blows with the Threadripper Pro 3955X but generally comes in a bit behind it on the multi-core-heavy trials. It does fare a bit better than the Xeon in most cases. Computers are my lifelong obsession. I wrote my first laptop review in 2005 for NotebookReview.com, continued with a consistent PC-reviewing gig at Computer Shopper in 2014, and moved to PCMag in 2018. Here, I test and review the latest high-performance laptops and desktops, and sometimes a key core PC component or two. I also review enterprise computing solutions for StorageReview.Based on AMD performance lab testing using the Adobe After Effects CC benchmark test to compare the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995X reference system to (2) Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 processors. Results may vary. (CPP-25) Since the Threadripper Pro line is effectively a high-TDP EPYC with a chipset for the workstation market, we wanted to see what the layout of the chip is. Here is the topology output for the chip (with the PCIe information pulled out since that took up a lot of screen space in this system): AMD Threadripper Pro 3955WX Topology Based on AMD performance lab testing on June 17, 2020 using the Chromium Release 78 compile performance test to compare the performance of AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 3995WX reference system vs. two (2) Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 processors. Results may vary. (CPP-34)

As we tested the Threadripper Pro 3955WX, we think we understand where this fits into the higher-end framework. This chip is designed as more of a mainstream entry point to the higher-end platform. At the same time, AMD is balancing not upsetting the higher-dollar per-core EPYC sales. Given that this is effectively an EPYC processor for workstations, indeed our ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI and even the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 both feel a lot like server platforms when in use, we can understand the positioning.Our testing focuses on the one Ryzen Threadripper Pro processor we've managed to get our mitts on so far, the 3955WX, a 16-core/32-thread chip that is a sensible choice for any kind of demanding workflow. Our test platform is the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 with Windows 10 Pro, 32GB of DDR4-3200 ECC memory, a 512GB PCI Express 3.0 SSD boot drive, and a 5GB Nvidia Quadro P2200 graphics card.
