Threadripper 2990WX

For the vast majority of people doing every day tasks, this CPU would be massive overkill. The latest generation Ryzen 7 or Intel i7 will provide more than enough performance for content creators and gamers alike, and even if you did decide to buy yourself a Threadripper for these tasks, you wouldn’t notice enough of a performance increase the justify the price. However, for those of us who require massive amounts of CPU power for those giant workloads, the Threadripper is not only the most powerful choice but also the best value. While it may be surpassed by Intel’s Core i9 in the lighter multithreaded tasks, the price difference and performance boost across the heavier workloads make it well worth the price.
