AMD’s Threadripper 2990WX is officially the fastest consumer processor on the planet – taking the performance crown from Intel’s 28-core chiller setup. The Threadripper 2990WX is the flagship part of AMD’s Threadripper 2 platform and based on the 12nm node from TSMC and based on the Zen+ architecture.

This is a pretty big deal for two important reasons. A couple of years ago, AMD’s CPU offerings were multiple times slower than even the most modest Intel CPU. Today, however, we are seeing the company take the performance crown (albeit in an LN2 setting which is not indicative of a real-life setting). Before we go any further, let’s take a look at the actual benchmark, courtesy of Toms’sHardware.
