Outrageous Performance! AMD Threadripper Pro 5000 in 2023 😳

[@KitGuruTech]

Would a Threadripper Pro CPU benefit your workloads - or will you stick with a regular desktop processor?

[@64BBernard]

I have a friend who's using the Threadripper with 256GB of RAM for running a meteorological software system on. It might also be good for running numerical weather prediction models on (though they tend to be single threaded parallel compiled code to run on Supercomputers but can run on desktops, too.)

[@ericmatthews8497]

In Blender Rendering.. HECK NO! You are better served with an Nvidia RTX GPU using Optix. A $400 RTX 3060TI can easily beat my $1400 AMD 24-core Threadripper CPU in Blender.

I'm still happy with my BSEL modded E2160.

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Awesome video to watch but it’s like giving me Steve vai’s guitar. Absolute waste of time.

[@javiej]

What I like is that you can put a 4090 triple slot in there, and even if it blocks several slots you still have 3 full 16x gen4 slots available

[@marc3793]

Recently I was starting to think that my 3975wx was a bit of a waste of money and wish I was a year or so later to get the Ryzen 7950x for much cheaper. However, the latter only has 24 pcie lanes! (Which I really didn't appreciate. Albeit at Gen 5) I've realised how important it is when you have a lot of NVMe drives, a couple of graphics cards, along with 8 memory channels. And your video has also made me feel like I made the right choice.

After being burned by the lack of upgrades for x399 systems I am not going near threadripper again until AMD can say that the platform will have the same longevity as its desktop counterpart

Excellent review, this shows why AMD are taking huge chunks of Intels datacentre sales with EPYC and Threadripper.

Yeah intel seem to be rallying to get back into this performance sector.

[@ALFGamingTV]

Ty mr. Luke for the job well done. AMD rocks! 👍 Yeah and this motherboard looks like a beast.

[@AZEGMTV]

Had to rewind the 5995X part where you said it costs 7 grand. Is that thing literally worth it’s weight in gold?

[@ivosevicc.m]

When the processor is rectangular you know it’s going to be expensive. Remember the original Pentium Pro?

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Tech porn. Love it ❤

I use every bit of a 64c/128t 3990wx for VFX/CGI, would have been great to see the comparison with the previous generation.

[@gogopowerrangers6596]

What is your work flow / apps if you don’t mind mr asking ?

[@michaelthompson9798]

Despite recent consumer based drops in sales by both Intel and AMD…… AMD has smashed their business / enterprise sales of their Threadripper/ Epyc CPUs and continue to increase AMDs market share in the part of the market that Intel solely reigned supreme for many decades! Better prices, performance, energy use and thermals has given AMD the advantage.

[@KnightRider-lq5yb]

that asus board is pure tech p0rn!!!!!!!!!

[@chuckschweitzer491]

So I have a question I have started supporting World Community Grid which is a remote way to have your computer support Cancer research, I was going to build or by a 14900K or 7950 3DX system to run this 24x7 but now that I am looking at your review would a 5975X all be it way more expensive benefit from this type of useage? Thanks, Chuck

[@daveg4417]

I live in Canada. The price of the Threadripper Pro processors and components here is really excessive, and components are getting scarce with many now shipping only direct from China. The 64-Core 5995WX is almost $12,000.00 CAD with tax. I priced out a TRP system because I require a computer that can take up to 2TB to 4TB of memory. I need memory size versus performance. The TRP was out of my budget by a lot. So I bought an Intel Xeon W7-2495X 24-Core system. My entire system is way less than the TRP 5995WX 64-Core processor just by itself. And the TRP 5965WX 24-Core system is still 30% more than the entire Xeon W7-2495X system. The TRP is also PCIe4 and DDR4, whereas the W2400 is PCIe5 and DDR5. Unfortunately I need the system now and can't wait for the new TR/TRP 7000 ETA Q4-2023+ or the new Intel Xeon ETA Q4-2023/Q1-2024. You gotta buy in at some time. My AMD R9-5950X has been mostly retired due to 128GB not being enough memory.

Chiplet has to be one of the nicest words ever to come out of the tech industry.

[@rendermanpro]

Not adequate pricing compared to previous gen of Threadripper.

[@chrisk6474]

If you can utilize that kind of horsepower in your day to day tasks then those CPU’s are god tier!! The ability to access all of the pci lanes is an underrated factor. Access to all of those lanes solves many problems that desktop users face daily. Great showcase content ❤❤❤

[@geofftatesmate7748]

Yeah it’s incredible. But it’s certainly not a cost effective choice for a gamer 😂

[@karlosh9286]

awesome chips ! and er no, I can't think of a workload that I do on a daily basis that can utilise a Thread Ripper, because in my case it's SCEBCAK ! (Slowest Component Exists Between Chair and Keyboard )

[@teddym2808]

The temps are because of the low comparative clock frequencies they run at and volts being fed into them, not because "that's just threadripper". If they were running at 5+ghz they'd be in the 90's like their mainstream counterparts.

Did you check the 2nd revision of the motherboard I heard it supports overclocking.

[@burakkose3703]

Love the look of that socket they fit in to. It looks really expensive.

[@thelasthallow]

do something crazy, disable SMT and see if less heat = higher boost clocks?

[@QuentinStephens]

Great work. My brother works in the oil industry doing modelling and he loves the ability to model multiple scenarios simultaneously. The comparison with the 7950 really showcased AMD's advances and bodes well for the Threadripper 7000 series. I hope, though, that you will follow this up with a video on the 12 and 16 core models, which may be of more interest to your regular viewers, some of whom I'm sure chafe at the 128 GB RAM limit - really 64 GB on Ryzen 7000 right now - but don't really need 24+ cores or 128 PCIe lanes.

[@rendermanpro]

*There is a catch.* For rendering people today mostly using GPU rendering. For CPU workload in content creation context, single core is way more important, while not everything multi-threaded even in 2023, so it will crunch part of the job and stuck on slow single core bottleneck of 64 cores. It's like you bought a Ferrari, and someone on 1970s almost dead car in front of you on a single lane road. (and something like image saving time will be like a speed limit). So, even if you have tons of cash to burn, for content creators is way better to buy fast single core performance CPU, like 7950x, and high end GPU, at lower total system cost of single 5000x Threadrippers. Was shocked about new pricing that 2-3x compared to 1950x. Only make sense if you really need CPU only performance. For tons of PCE lanes you can buy previous gen at 0.5x Would be interesting to include 1,2 3, and last gen of threadrippers together.

[@magog6852]

I need pci lanes though. What’s recommended if I’m looking at 7950x?

[@rendermanpro]

@@magog6852 I would go with 7950x, for 1-2 GPU it will be fine I think. Kind of unclear pci lanes with modern AMD. It will be hard anyway to put more GPUs without riser cables and open rig. I'm on 1950x still, while didn't find 4 full PCI motherboard for 7950x anyway, and most motherboards today is crazy in pricing

[@bernardsantos210]

Thanks so much for this! Looking at this then, for someone who does 4K video editing and 2D + 3D animation, is the 5965WX worth the value then along side a Dual 4090 TUF OC? I work on many high value videos for a large tech company and I'm the lone animator for the team, and yes it's an out of pocket expense since I'll be using it for personal 3D projects. My 5950X has been a stability plagued system since I got it Day 1. I already placed an order from PUGET systems for a 5965 WX, 128GB RAM. Is worth the money for my WFH system or should I go down to a 7950X? Would really love to hear some thoughts while I can still make changes to the main platform. Thanks!

[@StefanUrkel]

What did you end up getting? Did you consult Puget?

[@bernardsantos210]

@@StefanUrkel I ended up cancelling the system I ordered. There were too many Red Flags for the PRO series. A lot of people don't like them, and with the only positive being the 128 pci-e lanes. That 12K just wasn't worth the money. Plus my 5950X beats it or is on par with it, while the 7950X actually beats it. Could really use the extra lanes though. But yeah, they were great to work with. I would definitely go for them on my next build.
