In this episode of the Full Nerd, Gordon Mah Ung, Brad Chacos, Adam Patrick Murray are joined by games guru Hayden Dingman once again—though games aren’t up for discussion.
Instead, Gordon covers his investigation into the Threadripper 2990WX’s memory bandwidth performance, sparked by the unusual configuration of the four dies connected within the 32-core (!!!) CPU. It’s complicated, and doubly so thanks to some quirky Windows behavior. Bottom line: If you can put all those cores and threads to work, the Threadripper 2990WX is still a very worthwhile purchase, though you might want to consider alternatives if your workload is especially memory intensive.
