How many cores and threads does Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX have, and which workloads suit it?

  The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX is 64 cores and 128 threads on Zen 2 (Castle Peak), sWRX8 platform (WRX80 boards), eight-channel DDR4 ECC RDIMM, 2.7GHz base and 4.2GHz boost, 280W TDP. It mostly lives inside professional workstations like the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, aimed at enterprise loads: rendering, engineering simulation, VMs, medical imaging.

  Versus the consumer 3990X it adds ECC memory support and eight-channel memory — a tier up in stability and expansion, and a tier up in price. Gaming has nothing to do with it: 64 cores sit idle through most games, the single-core speed is what it is, and it was never designed for frame rates. Only buy one if your software genuinely feeds all 128 threads.
