I was so expecting Paul with that intro, you had me 😂

Everyone else dabbles when it's review day, but you can tell that Wendell uses these systems and actually understands what they are for and what you can do with them.

This is THE threadripper review we've all been waiting for

[Aleblanco]

it's impressive how far ahead amd still is in workstation cpus.

[iLegionaire]

Level1Techs has the best Threadripper reviews on Youtube so far.

[TomPotato-fv]

at first i thought the video was sped up but after a while it was clear it's just wendell's excitement. understandable.

Wendell was out here excitedly rifling through features of the new TR like it was XMAS morning and he just got his new Red Ryder BB gun! We love to see it.

I love all the chat about Memory, Would you do a video about the various options for AMD Memory settings and any advantages and or disadvantages of enabling them, for example, Low Latency Mode, High Band Width Mode, Auto Memory Enhancement vs Expo etc... could be tied in with a Where Were At Now update on Memory on AM5 as there have been a lot of updates.

[ryshask]

Yes... this is the channel that needs to exist. Thank you!

I was impressed by my old threadripper 2920X, could have 4 people logged into it doing heavy tasks and not even notice, sadly it's outdated and I cant afford to upgrade, so sticking to AM5 CPU's unless I win the lottery or something...

I see new Threadripper, I look for a Wendell video 👊😎

TYPO in Chart.
24:27 - "Stock CPU Congifs", typo, should be Configs.

This is awesome. But overclockable dual sockets, that would be a fantastic blast from the past.

[ehsnils]

To some level I think that the game test with FPS frame rate isn't always cutting it as gaming experience. I'd like to see a test of how well a very loaded instance of Cities Skylines do on the CPU load. It's of course going to be harder to get it entirely easy to test, but in that game there are many things going on at the same time with a lot of simultaneous threads, especially with a lot of mods loaded.

When a product is so good that 5000$ dollars is a bargain, what a time to be alive!

[scentilatingone]

Wendel is so excited when it comes to these rigs

[Lukas_Miglioranza]

Every time I see Level1 review on a Threadripper Cpu I exclaim: "oh, finally" and “I said that too!" and "it was time!" and I don't have a Threadripper!
You can try a version of your video game while compiling another!
Threadripper Cpus are great! 🤪

[Alexandra-Rex]

When the intro music played, I had to check if I had clicked on what I intended to or somehow a Paul's Hardware news video.

These are the CPU's small independent software companies should be using for their programmer and 3D Modeling/Rendering workstations.

10:10 : HOLY JESUS CHRIST! Gaming PLUS workload stuff in the background?!?!
