At time of publication for this content, the AMD Threadripper 3970X and 3960X CPUs hadn't yet been launched, but we will have videos within a few hours (at embargo lift) to review those new CPUs. For this one, we're reviewing the Intel Core i9-10980XE vs. the previous 9980XE, 7980XE, new AMD R9 3950X, and previous TR 2990WX, along with other CPUs (like the 9900K). Overclocking gets a big focus here, but we also benchmarked CPUs in video editing and rendering applications (Adobe Premiere), 3D modeling software (Blender), compression and decompression workloads, and gaming.
