AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X

Reasons To Buy

  • ✓ Wildly extreme 32-thread performance, for the same price as Intel's new 20-thread Core X-Series CPU.
  • ✓ Platform is overflowing with PCI Express lanes.

Reasons To Avoid

  • ✗ CPU is large and will need a robust cooler, particularly when overclocking.
  • ✗ Byzantine installation process compared to mainstream CPUs.
  • ✗ Competing Intel chips are better at lightly threaded tasks.
