The 64 Core Threadripper 3990X CPU Review
#VMWARE WORKSTATION NUMBER OF PROCESSORS VS CORES FULL#
You can read our full review of the 3990X here: We tested the Threadripper 3990X against $20k of Intel’s premium enterprise CPUs, and for workloads that were embarrassingly parallel. This chip gives 56 lanes of PCIe 4.0, with another 8 lanes for the chipset, and comes in at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and turbo of 4.3 GHz. Both AMD and Intel try to keep their highest core count hardware for their enterprise lines, such as 64-core EPYCs and 28/56-core Xeons, which means that these also come at an additional cost for features such as multi-socket capabilities or RDIMM support and RAS features.įor more ‘consumer’ hardware, the highest core count on offer is 64 cores from AMD, with the Threadripper 3990X, currently available for $4796 which is well above its MSRP of $3990 (and up from $3848 since our last guide). Sometimes all you want are cores - either for masses of virtual machines, or highly parallel workloads, or something else.

Going for the Most Cores: AMD Threadripper 3990X (64c) at $4796 (up from $3848)ĪMD Threadripper Pro 3995WX (64c) at $5487 For users waiting for Zen 3 based Threadripper, there’s still no ETA. Right now, in June, we might be in this situation. Depending on the price differential at any particular point in time, the TR Pro offering might be preferred regardless of workload. Threadripper Pro brings an interesting conundrum for users in this space: it’s more expensive than Threadripper, but offers 8-channel memory support and a full 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Intel vs AMD Comparisonġku = 1000 unit batch, 1 unit at retail is often slightly (3-5%) higher These processors have proven to be interesting, and we’re hands deep in our testing for review right now. Earlier this year AMD launched its Zen 2-based Threadripper Pro platform, providing the equivalent of an effective EPYC processor for single socket workstations only, but at higher frequencies. Some processors are fluctuating in and out of stock, and given that HEDT/WS processors give the most margin, there is some impetus from the manufacturers to provide sufficient stock where the demand is. Nonetheless the impact of the semiconductor shortage is affecting what people can buy. Instead Intel is focusing on its more enterprise Xeon WS solutions, which only really come as part of a pre-built system. Beyond, all signs coming out of Intel on their HEDT/WS retail platform indicate that it is a market they do not have the products for.
#VMWARE WORKSTATION NUMBER OF PROCESSORS VS CORES UPDATE#
While AMD is releasing new hardware, and differentiating between the high-end desktop with Threadripper and workstation with Threadripper Pro, Intel by contrast released its latest retail HEDT/WS processors back in November 2019, and hasn’t been in a position to update them since. It’s been a while since we updated this guide, perhaps because the world of the workstation processor you can buy on the shelf hasn’t really changed all that much.

Workstation CPU Recommendations: 2021 June
![vmware workstation number of processors vs cores vmware workstation number of processors vs cores](https://cdn.afterdawn.fi/storage/pictures/1024/08-Win8DevInVMware_Processor_Cores.jpg)
Our Best CPUs for Workstations guide mostly covers workstation processors available to consumers, although some server products cover both segments. In our CPU Guides, we give you our pick of some of the best processors available, supplying data from our reviews.
