The 3950x provides a significant performance increase compared to Intel CPUs, making it a compelling high-end option despite being expensive.

“it's got 16. of course it has 16 cores and the thing is it's funny because compared to other parts of amd's lineup it actually doesn't look like a great value so compared to the 3900x although again that's assuming that you can even find the thing in stock here let's go ahead and uh 3 900 x i think ”

The 3990x threadripper chip's existence would be a powerful addition to the market given its core and thread count.

“one of the big leaks this week was of course msi accidentally confirming the existence of a threadripper 3990x with 64 cores and 128 threads”
