Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The performance of a personal computer is affected to varying degrees by each of its functional components – RAM, chipset, video card, hard drive, network connection, etc. But there is the main detail on which absolutely everything depends – the central processor. Even the fastest and most voluminous RAM or video card will not be able to show its potential if their characteristics do not match the capabilities of the processor. However, when choosing a complete set of a computer, it is not always worth striving for the selection of the newest and most powerful processor.

The editors have prepared for you an extended overview of the most successful processor models as of the spring of 2019, on the basis of which personal computers of different capacities and price categories are completed. Based on the conclusions of our experts, we have divided the rating into nominations according to the approximate purpose.

The best super powerful processors for your computer

First of all, we will consider the most advanced achievements of manufacturers of processors for computers and laptops – two irreconcilable competitors Intel and AMD. The review includes precisely the mass models that have become widespread and recognized. Some HEDT models for high-performance systems were excluded due to the prohibitive cost and too narrow specialization, far from the needs of the mass consumer.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX

Rating: 4.9

'Number one' in our review is an outstanding achievement by AMD, perhaps the most striking example of a product that left the top processors far behind Intel. It is the world's first 32-core processor with 64 threads. Its microelectronic filling is made according to the thinnest possible 12nm process technology. The processor is designed for the sTR4 socket.

Various modifications of this model can contain from 12 to 32 Colfax cores, operating at a clock frequency of 3 to 3.5 GHz (overclocking is supported). The cache of the first level is 96 KB, the second is from 6144 to 16384 KB, the third is from 32768 to 65536 KB. Split L2 cache is supported. There is a built-in RAM controller.

The processor supports AMD64 / EM64T and SSE2 / 3/4 instruction sets; NX Bit technologies; hardware virtualization. Support for Hyper-threading and 3DNow is virtually nonexistent, as well as the integrated graphics core.

The maximum operating temperature of the processor is 68 degrees. The nominal heat dissipation with not too intensive computer operation varies from 180 to 250 W. Independent tests have shown that under a serious load, heat dissipation can increase to 600W, and in overclocking – up to 800W. For cooling the processor at medium loads, a specially designed Wraith Ripper cooler or similar ones are suitable. For high loads and overclocking, experts recommend water cooling.

The entire Threadripper line, and this particular model in particular, have received extremely positive feedback from real users.
