I recently finished my latest Workstation build with this processor. I'm 65, a retired Aerospace Engineer and I still like to do a lot of CAD design and Rendering for my hobby now. This processor is INSANE Fast ! I have been using workstations in Aerospace for the last 40 years or so. Mostly high end, very expensive UNIX boxes. But I have never seen a processor the likes of this. Expensive? YES. But if you want the best in the world you pay the price. I can't believe anyone would ever be disappointed with the AMD Threadripper 3990x as the heart of their Workstation. This processor actually has an overclocking algorithm built in called "Precision Boost Overdrive" that lets you extend the boost clock to 4.5GHz. You just set it and forget it. I have never had a crash with PBO +200MHz enabled.

As others said this is a beast of a CPU. However almost every "shrink-wrapped" user (not server) application out there is not designed to run on this level of hardware. I believe there are three type of apps where it justified: 1. Blender and similar apps, 2. Some server class applications (keep in mind that it is not a real server CPU, that is Epic, 3. The most important one - if you professionally develop software that will eat all available cores with almost linear scalability. That is my case, My algorithms need as many cores as possible, fastest random IO access to storage (read Intel Optane) and as much RAM as possible. The only downside for me is limitation of 256GB of RAM on 4 channels. Because of this I will probably switch to dual Epic system, If I can justify the cost.

Inspite of payment related issues, we could get the CPU, thanks to Bleepbox! They took personal care to help us resolve the problem.
