Title: Benchmark threadriper 3990X
Post by: cleent on 2020-10-20, 17:06:44

Hello,

I'm currently searching for a computer. I'd like to buy the threadriper 3990X.
On the website, it's written AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64-Core Processor (×2). But I want to know what the "x2" means.
Is it possible to have 2 processors in one mothercard ? I haven't found a computer that does that.
Plus, I haven't found any Benchmark with only one processor, does that exist?

Thanks for you time !

Clément

There are no dual CPU motherboards for Threadrippers. For that you would need the Epyc series CPUs.
The results are from a single 3990X CPU. It's 64 cores with hyper-threading (AMD calls it Simulataneous Multi-Threading - SMT), so the benchmark detects it as 2 x 64. The detection isn't perfect.
You can also check the benchmarks on other websites, e.g. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/
