Now that we have dealt with the respective limits in detail in detail on the previous page, we now want to use the power consumption of the two new CPUs again as a bar graphic compared to their direct environment and the two previous models. different user scenarios.
It is noticeable that the energetic "basic noise" in Windows idle time could be significantly reduced compared to the previous models. Since actually four Ryzen dies were installed in the housing, the total value is not even so bad, because it is significantly below the calculated four times of a comparable, single Ryzen 2700X.
With our longer CAD run, in which only a maximum of four cores were used, but the loads change significantly, the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X performs quite well, even with the PBO enabled. The big brother 2990WX, on the other hand, is much thirstier without being able to offer significantly more performance.
Sure, both CPUs aren't really meant for normal gaming, apart from the noble streamers. Nevertheless, even with the PBO activated, you swim nicely in the crowd without being negatively noticed. With these values for such a thick CPU you really don't have to hide with AMD.
So, let's get to the full-load scenario. The two Ryzen Threadrippers are soldered, Intel's Core i9 are neither. In order to be able to use and measure the overclocking without thermal throttling also in the stress test (or all-core rendering), both CPUs were beheaded, otherwise we could have completely forgotten all these measurements. With original thermal paste under the heat spreader, we would be at approx. 300 watts even with Chiller already pushed to the limits.
However, we can once again see very clearly how exactly the motherboards implement AMD's specifications for the performance limits. Without activated PBO, both new Ryzen Threadrippers make a point landing and approve only 180 and other nasty welding drivers with AVX and other nasty welding drivers. 250 watts and no more beeps. Power management is therefore the real cream piece of the entire action, especially since the influence of cooling was perfectly implemented.
Even in extreme mode with PBO enabled, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX heat battle ends at exactly 500 watts. To top this, you really have to raise all the limits on the motherboard and replace the chiller with LN2 as mentioned. Then almost 600 watts are possible if you only use PBO, but with a constant 4.1 GHz. Assuming you're caught a good CPU. However, this promotion is then a very expensive bought and definitely nothing for the charts and everyday life.
Intermediate conclusion
Well done, AMD! If you hide the must-have effect for the overfat Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, the version with "only" 16 cores is exactly what e.g. for me, the sensible upper limit of the conversion and in daily operation also economically justifiable. The two old thread rippers can only lose in this comparison.
Of course, they are not yet both to be thrown away, but their time has nevertheless expired in many respects. Even if the direct upgrade from the 1950X to the 2950X is not worth it.
