AMD Threadripper 2990WX Linux Benchmarks: The 32-Core / 64-Thread Beast
The 2990WX workstation processor will work out well for multi-threaded photography workflows like Darktable RAW image editing albeit depending upon the size of the image file may not scale efficiently to the 64-threads available, but if you are multi-tasking between programs, the 2990WX certainly has sufficient headroom.
The Threadripper 2990WX is 67% faster than the Core i9 7980XE with the synthetic Sysbench CPU benchmark.
The Threadripper 2990WX absolutely dominates with its Blender 3D modeling performance on the CPU.
The 2990WX also does very well with Chaos Group's V-RAY renderer performance.
