I miss ATI before AMD bought them. They were quite competitive back then. I also miss 3dfx before NVIDIA bought them. :/
AMD claims Ryzen Threadripper 9000 is up to 145% faster than Intel Xeon

I built a Threadripper PRO 7965WX system about 8 months ago and I LOVE the performance. I can only imagine what it will be like to have the 9000 series. Really glad this time around WRX90 is a supported platform for both 7000 and 9000 CPUs... I'll be able to upgrade to the 9000 series eventually.
My last Threadripper was the good old 2950X and it was on a dead platform (TR4) and no upgrade path outside of new motherboard. Was a bummer because my MEG X399 Creation board was really nice.

I have a 2950X in my old rig that I still have, I know what you mean about the upgrade path. I have a 9800X3D in the new one, I didn't really need the Threadripper but I was tempted.

I upgraded because I need more PCI Express slots (and 5.0) and the latest boards come with 7 slots. Perfect for adding many M.2 drive, which was what I needed, but also for adding multiple video cards for AI work. So far it's working out pretty good. It's a lot more expensive than the old 2950X system back in the day though. lol
