“The 3990X operates at a base frequency of
2.9GHz but can boost up to 4.3GHz when thermal and power conditions allow it..”
AMD has been going from strength to strength with successive iterations of its Zen architecture, most recently culminating in the ultra-high end Threadripper 3-series. The entry level 24-core 3960X we reviewed last month decimated Intel’s entire HEDT lineup, and by some margin. The 3970X 32 model is equally impressive. But, the best was yet to come. Hidden away inside a press deck was a tease of the 3990X, a 64 core flagship behemoth that teased unprecedented levels of parallel computational power.
