What makes a Threadripper processor so good?
AMD Ryzen Threadripper is so powerful, it can't be constraint by the restrictions of the AM4 chipset made for mainstream AMD processors, instead requiring its own dedicated TRX40 chipset. The defining characteristic of Threadripper is its sheer scalability. Colossal core counts, multiple GPU and NVMe SSD configurations with super-fast PCIe 4.0 connectivity. Threadripper's wide breadth makes it easily configurable for any task.
Who are Threadripper processors for?
AMD Ryzen Threadripper is primarily targeted at professionals in every industry demanding the latest and greatest in performance for obliterating deadlines. With up to 64-cores and 128-threads running at shocking fast clock speeds, Threadripper makes quick work of heavily multi-threaded and CPU-bound workloads. Various disciplines would benefit tremendously from Threadripper. Threadripper would accelerate a software developer's virtual machines and compiler times, an artist's complex scenes and render times, and more. Although a Threadripper would be technically awesome for gaming, it'd be frankly overkill. If you're looking for a primarily gaming processor, the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 CPUs are a more logical option.
